It is remarkable to witness the advancements that have been made in hearing aid technology. Today, these devices incorporate a vast array of features for users to experience unprecedented hearing assistance with the flick of a switch or touch of a smartphone app. Here are some of the most important hearing aid features available today.

Rechargeable Hearing Aid Batteries

Rechargeable hearing aids offer a whole new level of convenience for people living with hearing loss. They are creating an easier lifestyle for those who need them, as they eliminate the need to replace batteries and keep track of spares. These devices feature powerful lithium ion rechargeable batteries, which can provide up to 24 hours of listening time on a single charge and can be easily recharged via USB or wall charger. The best rechargeable hearing aids also come equipped with advanced microphones that ensure high levels of sound clarity in noisy environments, making life easier for those who use them.

Bluetooth in Hearing Aids

Bluetooth technology has revolutionized the way those with hearing impairments interact with the world. Hearing aids equipped with Bluetooth feature direct streaming, allowing wearers to listen to audio sources with amazing clarity and convenience. This technology offers users access, convenience and connection in a way that was not available until now. Here are just a few of the things users can do with their hearing aids via bluetooth:

  • Answer phone calls hands-free and have the conversation in both ears
  • Stream music or shows directly into the hearing aids
  • Make sound adjustments to devices via smartphone apps


Tinnitus Sounds in Hearing Aids

Hearing loss and tinnitus often go together. Hearing loss affects the auditory input to the brain, making it a common cause of tinnitus. Symptoms of tinnitus can vary from person to person. However, using hearing aids to improve hearing can help reduce tinnitus symptoms.

Your hearing aids come with features to help you manage tinnitus on a daily basis, as well as reduce tinnitus by improving hearing.

Sound therapy for tinnitus can include playing calming tones, white noise, or personalized sounds through your hearing aids. This can help distract you from the annoying sounds of tinnitus and let you focus on more important things.
