Episode 26: Advances In Hearing Aid Technology

Over the past few years there have been major developments in hearing technology.
The latest Hearing Aids are really like mini computers enabling you to do so much more than just hear. Over the next few weeks we will touch on a few of the latest aids available, and this week i’ll talk about the advantages of a some hearing aids with this new technology.
Most quality hearing aids these days connect easily to Apple and Android devices via Bluetooth so you can use the Hearing Control app to easily manage your hearing aid settings and access all sorts of features. Features like:
an enhanced streaming performance lets you enjoy music or your favourite TV shows better than ever
you can answer your calls with a touch of a button and hear an entire conversation streaming directly to your hearing aids via Bluetooth
with the Starkey Livio you can geo-tag places or have the aids remember places you have visited & the settings so your hearing aids will adjust automatically to that environment when you return there
some hearing aids automatically change to a setting designed to reduce the annoying sounds of driving
the Livio automatically adjusts the hearing aid loudness over time, to help you transition to the new hearing aids more comfortably
if you lose them the app helps you easily locate the lost hearing aids by providing a location and a timestamp
So you can see that technology is advancing in leaps and bounds and will only help to enhance your lifestyle if you utilise the technology. It’s truly amazing stuff.
