BTE hearing aid shell

A hearing aid shell is the part of a hearing aid that houses the electronic components and fits into the wearer’s ear. It is custom-molded to fit the wearer’s ear canal and is designed to hold the hearing aid components in place and direct sound into the ear.

Hearing aid shells can be made from a variety of materials, including acrylic, silicone, and other plastics. They come in different sizes and shapes to fit different ear canal sizes and configurations.

The process of creating a hearing aid shell typically involves taking an impression of the ear canal and outer ear using a moldable material. The impression is then used to create a customized hearing aid shell that is tailored to the wearer’s unique anatomy.

A properly fitting hearing aid shell is important for the wearer’s comfort and the effectiveness of the hearing aid. If the shell does not fit properly, it may cause discomfort, irritation, or even damage to the ear canal. It is important to work with a qualified audiologist or hearing healthcare professional to ensure that the hearing aid shell is properly fitted and adjusted for maximum benefit.

Making a Hearing Aid Shell:

  • Materials Used: Hearing aid shells can be made from a variety of materials, including acrylic, silicone, and other plastics. The choice of material may depend on factors such as the wearer’s skin sensitivity and the durability of the material.
  • Customization Process: The process of creating a custom hearing aid shell involves taking an impression of the wearer’s ear canal and outer ear using a moldable material. The impression is then used to create a customized hearing aid shell that fits the wearer’s unique anatomy.
  • Importance of Proper Fitting: A properly fitting hearing aid shell is essential for the wearer’s comfort and the effectiveness of the hearing aid. If the shell does not fit properly, it may cause discomfort, irritation, or even damage to the ear canal. It is important to work with a qualified audiologist or hearing healthcare professional to ensure that the hearing aid shell is properly fitted and adjusted for maximum benefit.

Importance of Proper Fitting:

  • Comfort and Wearability: A properly fitting hearing aid shell should be comfortable and easy to wear for extended periods. The earpiece should fit snugly in the ear canal without causing discomfort or irritation.
  • Effectiveness and Sound Quality: A well-fitted hearing aid shell can help improve sound quality and increase the effectiveness of the hearing aid. It can help reduce feedback and prevent sound leakage, which can result in clearer and more natural-sounding amplification.
  • Working with Hearing Healthcare Professional: It is important to work with a qualified audiologist or hearing healthcare professional to ensure that the hearing aid shell is properly fitted and adjusted for maximum benefit. They can help determine the appropriate size and style of hearing aid shell, as well as make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal fit and function.
