The receiver end is included with the headband which is positioned behind the ear.

A three pin cord attaches both the receiver and the control box. The control box that fits in a shirt pocket or can be clipped to the shirt. I have normal, close personal, and telephone mode. There is also a volume control.

I've had the current hearing aid for over 18 years. I've worn this type since about 1960. I was about five or six. I can't wear what most wear.

IMHO, as a hearing aid user of many types since 2003, I consider the in-the-ear advantage to be primarily cosmetic Wonder Why Jun 2024 #9
