Bluetooth & Hearing Aid Accessories

Similar to most electronic devices today, hearing aids have experienced tremendous innovation over the years. A major advancement that changed the landscape of the hearing aid industry is Bluetooth technology.

In the past, hearing aid wearers were limited in terms of what they could do and access while wearing their hearing aids. For example, if people wanted to listen to music while taking a walk, they had to remove their hearing aid to insert earbuds or wear headphones.

With Bluetooth hearing aids, wearers can wirelessly connect with other devices which allows the device to stream audio directly. This offers numerous benefits that allow hearing aids to easily integrate into daily life.

How Does Bluetooth Work?

We are more digitally and electronically connected today than ever before. From laptops, and tablets, to our smartphones; electronic devices have become essential items. They also allow us to engage in a range of activities including listening to music and podcasts, participating in virtual work meetings, as well as video chatting with loved ones. Bluetooth technology has made engaging in these activities more convenient and accessible. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows data to be transferred between two or more electronic devices. A wide range of today’s products is equipped with Bluetooth - phones, computers, televisions, speakers, etc. Bluetooth allows these devices to connect and stream audio directly.

How exactly does Bluetooth work with hearing aids? Well, Apple has patented Bluetooth connectivity specifically with hearing aids. This allows hearing aids to wirelessly connect with iOS devices - iPhone, iPad, etc. Many hearing aid manufacturers produce hearing aids that are made for iPhone which means that they are equipped with the Bluetooth technology that pairs with the iOS device you have. For Android phones, Google is developing its Bluetooth-enabled hearing aid compatibility. There are several models of hearing aids that are also able to pair with Android phones.

The only disappointment is getting Zach to pair my caption phone blue tooth to the telecoil or something on that order. The caption phone would work perfectly with me if I could use the telecoil or blue tooth to hear the conversation in both ears simultaneously. That's all, otherwise, you get my 5 stars for everything.
