Bluetooth® Compatible Hearing Aids

Wirelessly connect to a television, cell phone, and iPod®.

Bluetooth compatible hearing aids allow you to wirelessly connect to televisions, cell phones and landline phones. This provides better speech comprehension and sound clarity because the sound is delivered wirelessly to the hearing aids with no issue of sound decay or reverberation.

Cell Phone and Landline Use

Bluetooth technology advances permit you to listen on the telephone through the hearing aids in both ears simultaneously. This allows the hearing aid wearer to talk on the phone hands-free. With the push of a button, the phone is answered.

In addition, the hearing aids automatically shut off the microphones to enable you to hear on the phone in comfort and without distraction.

Television

You may have "discussions" at your home about the volume of the television. This can result in the family watching the same show on different televisions. Some manufacturers of hearing aids now provide a wireless stereo transmission of the sound to the hearing aid wearer. This permits a comfortable sound for friends and family. Be sure to inquire about this feature.

Remote Control and Hearing Aid Adjustments

Remote controls for hearing aids vary in sophistication. Some simply change the volume and listening programs. Others teach the hearing aids how to "behave" in any listening environment so the user becomes the teacher.

Several hearing aid manufacturers are discontinuing the use of streamers. Each hearing aid manufacturer continues to offer different accessories to promote wireless streaming.
