BTE hearing aids are widely available in India through various healthcare channels and at various price points, making them accessible to a wide range of users with differing budgets. Increasing hearing health awareness initiatives, as well as the support of healthcare experts and organisations, have led to the Indian population's acceptance and desire for BTE hearing aids.
