Hearing loss affects the lives of around 466 million people around the world, according to the World Health Organization. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to headaches, stress, depression, social withdrawal, impaired memory, and even dementia. However, many of these issues can be avoided by wearing hearing aids. Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids are the most commonly used type of hearing aid and used for all degrees of hearing loss, even severe hearing loss. Recognizable as a small plastic casing that sits behind-the-ear, they are attached to a thin, clear "invisible" plastic tube to a custom-made earmold.
