There exists an excellent chance that your current hearing aid is equipped with Bluetooth technology, particularly if you purchased it recently. Bluetooth is most often associated with hands-free cell phone use, however it is also commonly seen in home phones, computers, mp3 players and TVs. Digital hearing aids equipped with Bluetooth give you new ways to use and manage these devices, which makes them more convenient and flexible, and giving you an improved sound experience.

Nearly all hearing aids use a small, user friendly external device to operate their Bluetooth features. This control may be worn around the neck or kept in your pocket. The controller is used to wirelessly receive sounds from Bluetooth enabled devices and transmit them to your hearing aid. That means no more needing to crank up the volume on your TV, phone or other Bluetooth-compatible devices, because you can have the sound signals sent directly to your hearing aids. One of the nicest features of having hearing aids that can receive Bluetooth signals is that you can listen to phone conversations in both ears, making it even easier to hear your caller.

Your Bluetooth controller will be designed for easy use. Most controllers detect Bluetooth signals at the push of a button. If you want to hear your TV, simply press the television button once to turn it on, and then press it again when you want to stop listening. Your hearing aid manufacturer may have included other functions with this device, making it easy to use other features with one controller.

Bluetooth enabled hearing aids can be especially helpful for older people with mobility problems. Some of the latest designs allow the wearer to make telephone calls up to 30 feet away from the phone, allowing for easy communication without needing to go to the telephone. In an emergency, this feature can be lifesaving.

You can enjoy a clear, clean listening experience with your Bluetooth-enabled hearing aid that you may be unable to have any other way. This user friendly technology can greatly improve your ability to hear, allowing you to enjoy encounters that may have once been unrealistic.
