Bluetooth hearing aids

Bluetooth hearing aids afford hearing impaired individuals the chance to enjoy things that many of us usually take for granted. They’re all about making life easier for sufferers of hearing loss, providing a much-needed solution to symptoms that often cause pleasant everyday activities to become extremely frustrating. Some of the main benefits that are enjoyed with Bluetooth hearing aids include:

Watching TV: Did you know that those with hearing impairments often understand the TV better with headphones? This being the case, by streaming TV audio directly to your Bluetooth hearing aids, you’ll not only eliminate any reverberation that may occur between the TV speakers and your ears, but also the need for headphones altogether! You may even be able to adjust the hearing aid volume from an easy-to-use App instead of directly via the TV.

Having phone conversations: Phone calls with hearing aids can be difficult. And it isn’t always comfortable either, as you usually need to make sure the speaker is right near your device’s microphone. Also, some low-tech models tend to feedback an annoying whistling sound, whereas most Bluetooth hearing aids making talking on the phone easy and stress-free!

Listening to music: With Bluetooth hearing aids, users can enjoy having their favourite tunes streamed directly to their devices, without needing to wear uncomfortable, obstructive headphones!

It all depends on the model you choose and your everyday activity. If you’re used to using different electronic devices, you should have no problem managing Bluetooth hearing aids.

However, if you experience any problems with the Bluetooth in your aids, talk to a hearing care professional to learn more about what would suit your needs.

Like other electronics at home, such as your mobile phone, Bluetooth uses a 2.4GHz connection to exchange data or communicate between devices - instead of via a cable.

Setup will depend on the make and model of your hearing aids. However, it’s usually the case that the first thing you need to do (after turning everything on) is make sure the devices are paired - that is, check they can communicate!

Your hearing care professional can help you get started and may even be able to complete the setup in store if it’s easier. Finding the right hearing aid can go a long way towards making life sound good again.
