HEARING AIDS

HEARING AIDS

Hearing assistance technology is evolving rapidly. Many kinds of hearing aids are available — from entirely invisible aids that sit in the ear canal to behind-the-ear types packed with the latest features. Some of the latest features include bluetooth wireless connectivity and artificial intelligence options.

Hearing aids cannot cure hearing loss, but they will intensify the sounds you need to help improve your hearing and they will help to reduce background noise. By reducing background noise, hearing aids assist the hearing system to focus on those sounds and voices that you want to hear. Here is a guide to some of the most common hearing aid types.

Hearing Technology

Rechargeable batteries

The advent of Lithium-ion technology (sometimes referred to as the Li-on) has been a game-changer in the world of rechargeable batteries. These are based on the battery type used in cell phones, which have more reliable power than other rechargeable batteries. Starkey Hearing Technologies has the only custom rechargeable hearing aid on the market at this time.

There are several advantages to buying a hearing aid with a lithium-ion rechargeable battery option:

  • Best For Limited Dexterity: Those with limited dexterity don't need to change batteries every week.
  • Convenient: Rechargeable batteries will give you a full day of power with an overnight charge. Just like charging your phone – you place it in the charger before going to bed, and when you wake up in the morning, you'll have a full-power charge.
  • Long-Lasting: The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, often for the life of the hearing aid itself.

Direct Bluetooth connectivity

Hearing aids with Bluetooth connectivity have been around for a while, but require a standalone streamer to help you connect. That has all changed with 'Made for iPhone' and 'Made for any phone' hearing aids. Hearing aids can now directly connect to your computer, TV, music players, and any other Bluetooth-enabled device.
