The advancements in modern hearing aids allow for a more discreet, comfortable fit and comprehensive listening experience.
Automatic Adjustments
Today’s hearing aids have artificial intelligence that can adjust the listening experience to different environments, which help you hear better. For example, listening in a quiet room is very different than a crowded restaurant – modern hearing aids automatically adjust to those situations.
Directional Microphones
Directional microphones are designed to focus on speech sounds in front of you, so you don’t have to decipher conversation from background noise.
Custom Amplification
If you have high-frequency hearing loss, your hearing aids will need to be adjusted differently than if you have struggled to hear low-frequency sounds. Hearing aids split sound vibrations into bands that are amplified to your specific needs.
Noise and Wind Reduction Features
Hearing aids were originally designed with amplification in mind, but they couldn’t differentiate background sounds. Modern technology allows hearing aids to recognize and reduce distracting sounds like street noise so your ears can focus on the sounds you want to hear.
Wind noise can cause whistling or feedback in hearing aids, but today’s technology is designed to identify and suppress it as soon as it occurs.
Bluetooth Features and Remote Connectivity
You have more connectivity options at your disposal with modern hearing aid technology. Connecting your hearing aids to a compatible device can eliminate distracting background noise. You won’t have to crank the volume on your TV to hear your favorite show or worry about missing something said during a phone conversation.
Bluetooth hearing aids can connect to:
- Apple and Android smartphones
- Tablets
- Computers
- Wireless car systems
- TV streamers
- Remote mics
Most major hearing aid manufacturers also offer apps for smartphones and tablets. Once you connect your hearing aids to the app, you can adjust them directly from your device.
Health and Fitness Tracking
While modern technology offers improved listening features, today’s hearing aids also provide tracking features to improve your wellness. That can include tracking your steps, heart rate and blood pressure.
Tinnitus Relief
Some hearing aids have specific programs designed to help you cope with the ringing, buzzing or humming in your ears. Masking programs are a type of tinnitus treatment that can ease the emotional impact of your symptoms.
