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.
Benefits of Bluetooth Hearing Aids
Bluetooth hearing aids connect your device to the rest of the technology you regularly use. This offers several benefits including:

- Personalized listening experience: the audio signals received from the device you are paired to can be adjusted in numerous ways to best meet your hearing needs.

gail spencer hole2023-12-05Zach and Ashley are the best in customer service that you will ever find! Service after the sale describes this business to a tee. They are always friendly, happy to see you, and ready to solve any problem you may be experiencing with your hearing aides. This business is way above the rest.
stephanie waites2023-11-16Zach and Ashley helped me with my hearing test and purchasing new hearing aids and I cannot praise them enough. They went above and beyond for me, made themselves available to accommodate my heavy work schedule to fit me in for adjustments and provided the best customer experience I’ve had to date. My father has the same congenital hearing loss and purchased his new hearing aids in alabama and he did not get half the assistance and follow up care that I have received.. and my top of the line hearing aids were almost 2k cheaper then what he paid. Highly recommend this company!!
Debbie Baas2023-11-16They have always taken very good care of me and now my mother. I’m on my third pair now. Highly recommend ! Thank you.
