Aural Rehabilitation Exam 1 Practice Test

Which style replaces the earhook and traditional tubing to earmold with a thin open tube with a dome on the end?

In the ear (full shell) Behind the Ear In the Ear (ITE) Open Fit BTE

Correct Answer:

Open Fit BTE

Explanation:

This describes the Open Fit BTE style. It uses a behind-the-ear unit connected not by a bulky earhook and earmold but by a very thin, flexible tube that ends in a small dome or tip sitting in the ear canal. This creates an open fit, reducing occlusion and giving a discreet, comfortable profile. The other styles—full-shell in the ear, behind the ear with a traditional earmold and earhook, or in-the-ear styles—do not use that slim tube with a dome in the canal.
