Bluetooth hearing aids use Bluetooth technology to transmit and stream sounds from your smartphones directly into your hearing aids wirelessly.

Hearing aids are very important for people with hearing loss. With wireless technology, most hearing aids fitted today utilize Bluetooth technology to make using smart phones less cumbersome for hearing aid users.

Bluetooth hearing aids can stream phone calls directly through the hearing aids making the callers’ voice much clearer and easier to hear.

What are the Benefits of Using a Bluetooth Hearing Aid Device?

Bluetooth hearing aids are a new innovation in the hearing aid industry. The Bluetooth earpiece is a small hearing device that can be worn behind the ear or be an in-the-ear style. It transmits sounds from a smart mobile phone wirelessly into the hearing aid so you no longer have to put up with whistling feedback when trying to couple your phone to the hearing aid. This technology has many advantages when compared to traditional hearing aids.

The Bluetooth earpiece provides many benefits that are not available with traditional hearing aids. One of these benefits is that it gives you more freedom with your day-to-day activities, such as being able to adjust your hearing aids via your smartphone. You can have more control over the volume level of the hearing device and no one has to know you are wearing hearing aids.

“The benefits of Bluetooth hearing aids go beyond just being able to answer phone calls easier,” says Nick Modrovich – Audiologist at Ability Hearing and Balance…

“You can also install a remote control app which allows you to adjust the volume of your hearing aids through your smartphone which really helps those clients who can’t always find the buttons at the back of the hearing aids.”

“Another lovely feature for Bluetooth Hearing Aids is the ability to stream music, watch YouTube or Netflix video on your smart phones.”

How to Choose the Best Bluetooth Hearing Aid for Your Needs?

There are many different types of hearing aids available on the market. Choosing the right one for your needs can be quite challenging. The best way to choose a hearing aid is to consult an experienced audiologist.

The most important thing that you need to consider when buying a hearing aid is your budget and your needs. The good news is most hearing aids nowadays incorporate Bluetooth technology so more people can access this great feature. It is important to check whether your phone is compatible as compatibility can vary.

Most hearing aids now can work well with both Apple iOS and many android smartphones, although functionality can vary between phone models.
