Aural Rehabilitation Exam 1 Practice Test

The main idea here is how hearing aid styles are named by where the device sits on the head. Behind-the-ear means the main housing sits behind the outer ear (pinna), with sound delivered into the ear canal through a tube or wire. This placement is what the label Behind-the-Ear describes, and it’s the classic BTE configuration.

The other options describe different placements: devices that sit inside the ear canal or outer ear (in-the-ear or full-shell), and a variation of behind-the-ear design that uses a different fitting (open-fit). So the label that matches the described placement is Behind-the-Ear.
