Why Get Bluetooth Hearing Aids?
To appreciate the difference that a Bluetooth hearing aid can make, let’s consider a potential real life scenario. You are at home watching a movie with a loved one, when your phone rings. (It’s a call you have to attend to.)
With normal hearing aids, the quality of sound received from the TV may not be rich. Then, when holding the phone up to your ear, this may bring with it some discomfort from the low quality audio, or notorious whistling sound some hearing aids can produce when combined with smartphones.
Now let us consider the same scenario with a Bluetooth hearing aid.
The sound from the TV can be streamed directly to you, with the freedom to adjust volume and other features of the sound independently from what your loved one is listening to. In addition, when the call comes in, the Bluetooth hearing aid acts as a hands-free device, notifying you of the incoming call and allowing you to answer with the simple push of a button. As the sound is being transmitted directly from the phone to your hearing aid, there are no distortions or feedback noises. The experience is a smooth one, switching between TV to phone and back again when the call is done.
