Bernafon Alpha BTE Series Accessories & Compatibility Guide | Japebo
If you use a Bernafon Alpha BTE hearing aid and want to replace parts or improve comfort, the most important thing is compatibility. Bernafon accessories are often specific to the style of the hearing aid (BTE vs. miniRITE/RIC), the sound output (power level), and the earpiece setup (thin tube + dome vs. custom earmold). This guide helps you identify what you have and choose the right accessories for the Bernafon Alpha BTE series.
What “Alpha BTE” means (and why it matters for accessories)
BTE stands for Behind-The-Ear. In the Alpha family, BTE models typically use one of these earpiece solutions:
Thin tube + dome (often used for mild to moderate loss and a more open fit)
Earhook + earmold tubing (often used for higher power needs and a more secure seal)
Because these setups use different parts, the “right” accessory depends less on the name Alpha and more on how your Alpha BTE is fitted.
How to identify your exact Bernafon Alpha BTE configuration
Before buying replacement parts, check these three things:
1) Look for the model name
Check your paperwork, your fitting report, or the text printed on the hearing aid body. Even within Alpha BTE there can be variations that affect earhooks, tubing size, and power configuration.
2) Check what sits in your ear
If you have a small silicone tip in the ear canal, you are likely using a dome on a tube.
If you have a custom earmold, you likely use an earhook + tubing setup.
3) Note any markings on tubing or parts
Some tubes, hooks, and other components come in different sizes. If you’re unsure, compare your current part to the product photos or contact support with a clear picture of the hearing aid and earpiece.
