You might have noticed that almost all hearing aids these days include Bluetooth® capabilities if you’ve done any research on the subject in the past few years. This is something that hearing aid manufacturers often bring up in their advertising.
On the other hand, I just remembered that a lot of folks have no idea what Bluetooth® is or why they would want it in their hearing aids. This is what I’m going to tell you.
By using Bluetooth®, your hearing aids can link to your smartphone and the rest of the world.
Thanks to the built-in Bluetooth® technology on hearing aids, hearing impaired people can now stream music, calls, and more from their phones directly into their ears, regardless of how severe their hearing loss is.
How can you use hearing aids with Bluetooth® technology?
Digital hearing aids may receive a variety of signals using Bluetooth®, including the following:
- Talk on the phone (or video chat) with your mobile device
- Films shot on a mobile device
- When your phone calls, it can be annoying since it rings through your hearing aids.
- Incorporating streaming services like Spotify and more into your hearing aids is a breeze.
- Additionally, a mobile app allows you to manage your hearing aids.
- Manage your hearing aids with a mobile app
