your hearing in󰘵ruments may or may not have.

features that are valid for your hearing in󰘵ruments.

Your hearing in󰘵ruments are BTE (Behind-The-Ear)
models. A tube delivers the sound from the hearing
in󰘵rument into the ear. The in󰘵ruments are not intended
for children under the age of 3 years or persons with a
