Boasting a variety of sophisticated technologies, today’s hearing aids are truly some of the most amazing minicomputers around.
Even though Bluetooth, rechargeability, & smartphone connectivity often come standard with many of today’s hearing aids, don’t underestimate the major impact these features have on improving everyday life.
This makes staying connected with the world around you easy. Just like the most popular wireless headphones on the market today, many hearing aids now allow you to stream your favourite TV shows, podcasts, music and phone calls directly into your ears.
Having these in hearing aids are becoming increasingly more popular and even come with portable charging cases for extra security and convenience when you’re on the go. They’re also environmentally-friendly. Charging devices now make it easier than ever to keep your hearing aids operating all day with no interruption — and no more having to mess with hard-to-replace tiny batteries!
These setting controls give you the ability to easily change your hearing aid volume or program based on your environment. For example, if you’re going from your house to a crowded restaurant, you’ll probably want to adjust the levels so you’re comfortable. Now you can do it quickly and easily from your iPhone or Android smartphone without ever having to touch your hearing aids.
Improved speech clarity has always been the top desired feature of hearing aid wearers. And rightfully so. Hearing loss is actually an issue with speech clarity, NOT volume, and older hearing aids just weren’t very effective. But times have changed. Advanced features incorporate narrow directionality, echo adjustments, and spatial configurators to deliver the highest level of speech clarity in the most challenging environments.
Background noise can make it more difficult to follow a conversation and understand every word. That’s why the latest hearing aids have background noise reduction technology that can identify background noise and filter it out. This also includes annoying feedback and whistling that used to accompany old hearing aids. With these enhancements, you’ll enjoy a more natural hearing experience and reduced listening effort, leaving you with more energy throughout your day.
Clearly hearing the sounds all around us is critical to everyday life. Think about when you’re driving in traffic or crossing the street. Not realising an emergency vehicle is coming up behind you or turning in your direction could mean the difference between life and death. Modern hearing aids now have acoustic and motion sensors that help to process sounds no matter what environment you’re in. These new sensors help the brain understand and process sound directionality so you clearly hear in the most natural way possible.
Your hearing is influenced by your environment. Modern hearing aids scan your surroundings over 10,000 times a second and take your movement into consideration. They automatically adjusting their programs to deliver an optimal, natural sound experience based on any environment, even while you’re walking (without you having to adjust the settings).
Modern hearing aids provide the most natural experience by processing your own voice instantly and independently from all other voices and sounds. Whether you’re a new or long-time hearing aid wearer, you’ll finally be able to hear your own voice in the most natural way possible.
You might think you only need one hearing aid for the “bad ear.” But you actually need two hearing aids to get the best performance. Here’s why: Your ears and brain work together. Binaural processing enables two hearing aids to communicate wirelessly and mimic your brain’s natural ability to process information from both ears. A single hearing aid simply cannot provide the same level of hearing quality that two devices can.
