Phonak Sky Lumity and the behind-the-ear design

How does a behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid work?

In behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids, the microphone, processor and receiver are inside the housing that sits behind the ear. Sound travels to the ear canal through a tube coming from the housing. At the end of the tube there is usually an ear mould made from an impression of your ear. The mould holds the hearing aid in place and makes sure the sound reaches the canal properly.

What this design means in daily life

As the housing sits behind the ear, only the mould goes into the ear canal. The electronic parts stay away from moisture and earwax in the canal. Because the housing is larger than in-the-ear models, most people also find it easier to hold and to press the buttons. The results of your hearing test and ear examination determine if Phonak Sky Lumity is suitable for you.

Ear mould and tube care

• Wipe the mould with a dry cloth every day and check that no wax has built up in its opening.
• If you need to wash the mould, first detach it from the housing. The housing must never go into water.
• If moisture builds up inside the tube, you may notice the sound getting weaker. In that case, ask us for help.
• The tube hardens and changes colour over time and needs to be renewed at regular intervals.
• At night, keep the hearing aid in a dry case.
• When putting it on, first place the end of the mould that goes into the canal, then settle the housing behind the ear.

Trial and follow-up

Our hearing specialist programs the hearing aid for your test results and checks the fit of the mould. You then try it in your own daily surroundings. In the first days, your own voice or the sounds around you may seem different. If the mould presses on your ear or the hearing aid whistles, be sure to tell us. At follow-up appointments, we listen to these experiences and adjust the settings, and the mould if needed.
