FlexiCare

In-Ear vs Behind-Ear Sound Amplifiers

Older adult shown in side profile

One of the easiest ways to narrow down the FlexiCare range is to choose between an in-ear and a behind-ear design. The main difference is how the product sits and how you control it.

In-ear sound amplifiers

In-ear models sit inside the ear in a compact, earbud-style shape. They are easy to carry and often come with several silicone tip sizes so you can try different fits.

Why choose in-ear?

  • Compact design
  • Discreet appearance
  • Charging case keeps the pair together
  • Choice of touch or simple volume controls, depending on model

Behind-ear sound amplifiers

Behind-ear models place the main body behind the ear. The larger body can make physical controls easier to locate by touch.

Why choose behind-ear?

  • Larger physical controls
  • Familiar behind-ear fit
  • Rechargeable options available
  • Bluetooth available on selected models

Which is easier to use?

That depends on the controls you prefer. If you like a small earbud-style product, in-ear may feel more familiar. If you would rather have a larger dial or button you can find more easily, a behind-ear model may be the simpler option.

What about Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is available in both product styles within the wider market, and selected FlexiCare models include it. Read our Bluetooth sound amplifier guide for a plain-English explanation.
