Wireless hearing aids have come a long way since their ability to connect with other devices limited them in the past.
In the past, hearing aids frequently restricted the wearer’s access to a wide range of personal audio devices, including mobile phones and music players. Today’s sophisticated wireless hearing aids, on the other hand, connect with personal electronic devices via Bluetooth technology and stream sound directly to hearing aids. This technology is increasingly being used in over-the-counter hearing aids.
People with hearing loss can now listen to music wirelessly and even stream video content thanks to this technology.
Benefits of Bluetooth Hearing Aids
– Individualized listening experience
The audio signal is typically programmed to stream to the hearing aids, and the streamed signal is amplified and customized to match the aid’s settings, such as music listening. Depending on the manufacturer’s design, the volume of the stream can be controlled by the hearer or the hearing aids.
A person can convert their hearing aids into wireless earbuds for music. It sure beats getting the receiver close to the hearing aid microphone.
– Multiple connections
Multiple devices can typically be paired to a single streamer, allowing one to switch between them easily. For example, one can be connected to their mobile phone while watching a movie on their tablet. The streamer can interrupt or pause the tablet’s audio to deliver the audio signal from an incoming phone call.
– Control hearing aids remotely
It is also possible to change the program or volume from the streamer remotely. This is especially useful if the controls on the hearing aids are too small.
– Standard protocol
Bluetooth is a protocol used in the electronics industry. It’s not specific to any hearing aid or manufacturer, so it works consistently across all devices. Over the years, Bluetooth technology has been tested and refined and is safe and free of interference.
Cutting Edge Technology
Bluetooth technology in hearing aids has greatly improved the wearing experience and allows hearing aids to function as highly personalized, custom audio devices. It exemplifies how to use today’s wireless hearing aid technology cleverly, which genuinely benefits hearing aid wearers.
