Digital hearing aids and mobile phones

Being able to hear clearly makes all the difference in almost every situation in daily life. However, certain situations, such as talking on the phone, remain difficult to manage - even with the best digital hearing aids.

But now, with huge advances in hearing aids, not just making them smaller and more lightweight but also making them compatible with mobile phones, TV’s and even music listening devices. A number of leading hearing aid manufacturers now support mobile phones and electronic devices such as Phonak’s and Oticon hearing aids.

Oticon have recently launched the ConnectLine™ series helping to link the Oticon Epoq and Dual instruments to the world of electronic communication. This really is a massive breakthrough for all hearing instrument wearers and provides to them not only amazing hearing and clarity of sound but added convenience of being able to use the mobile phone seamlessly with a hearing aid.

Listening to the TV has also become a total joy again for people who wear an Epoq or Oticon Dual as it will bring the sound directly into their ears. This not only helps to increase their own comprehension and enjoyment of the sound but also helps to minimise the frustrations that others often have to bear when the TV volume is too high.

The Oticon ConnectLine solution allows the hearing instrument wearer to talk on the phone, watch TV and listen to music with total ease. In a very similar way Phonak’s new digital hearing aid family: Exelia Art, Versata, Certena and Audeo Yes all have connectivity to mobile phones, TV’s and other electronic devices.

Phonak uses a clever device called iCom, which is a wireless communication interface that integrates with all phonak hearing aids. It actually connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to televisions, telephones, MP3 players, computers and other audio sources with a simple touch of a button. So the idea is that with the latest advances in hearing solutions, anyone suffering from hearing loss needn’t be left behind, in fact some may say they have an advantage.

Hearing aids that connect to mobile phones, TV’s and other devices are a thing of the future and represent an amazing step forward for all wearers. Hear speech more clearly, the TV directly into your ears, pick up the phone at the touch of a button and talk hands free, even listen to your favourite music. And the best thing is you can do this all at once, with a simple click to tell your hearing device what you wish to engage.
