As increasing numbers of people have come to view hearing instruments as a technology extension to the smartphone, their coolness factor has risen commensurately. No longer regarded simply as a means of improving hearing, hearing instruments with Bluetooth connectivity have attained new status as communication and information-gathering devices. While once only compatible with Apple’s iOS mobile operating systems, newer Bluetooth hearing instruments offer universal connectivity, making them useable with an Android device or even a classic flip phone that is Bluetooth-ready. The latest Bluetooth hearing instruments can answer a phone call with a press of a button on the hearing aid. They have built-in microphones that feature automatic voice pickup, allowing people to have two-way conversations through their hearing instruments.
If you or someone close to you are considering wearing a hearing aid, your timing couldn’t be better. The digital revolution has vastly improved hearing aid features and sound quality without increasing their size. This combination of technology and cosmetic appeal opens up a whole new world of hearing possibilities. You can always rely on a certified clinical audiologist at BETTER HEARING CENTER to address your needs on a one-to-one basis. Our goal is to find the most appropriate solution to each individual’s particular hearing concerns. We are New Hampshire’s premier hearing care provider.
P.S. A card-sized TV connector enables hearing instruments to plug into the back of a TV to pair with Bluetooth hearing instruments to stream high-fidelity TV sound.
