What Features Should You Consider?
This is the most frequently asked question during the hearing aid evaluation. Patients are introduced to an incredible world filled with tools designed to enhance their hearing experience. There is no wrong choice, but there are certain options that are more suitable for different personal needs. To help with the decision-making process, let’s take a look at some of the most common and advanced options available on the market!
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is the most reliable way to wirelessly stream sound. Any Bluetooth device that transmits sound has a high compatibility rate with your hearing device. The initial pairing is quick, and optionally stays in memory for future use. Whenever you’re in range of a paired Bluetooth device, it will automatically connect to the associated hearing aid.
Feedback Suppression
Feedback Suppression is an essential feature in hearing aids that works to minimize or eliminate bothersome whistling or feedback sounds. By actively identifying and cancelling out these unwanted noises, the technology contributes to a more comfortable and seamless hearing experience. The absence of feedback sounds not only enhances overall comfort but also plays a significant role in improving speech understanding and overall satisfaction with the hearing aid. This feature proves particularly beneficial in various environments, ensuring wearers have a reliable and consistent hearing solution across diverse acoustic settings.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Hearing aids are complex computers that can handle an incredible amount of data. Transforming that data into usable information on the fly would become tedious without the help of AI. Hearing aids with built-in AI functions are able to adapt sound based on usage, the environment or the current power saving mode. Although AI can automate most of the functions, the wearer is always in the pilot’s seat when they want full control.
Tinnitus Masking
Tinnitus masking features in hearing aids provide relief to individuals experiencing the persistent ringing or buzzing sounds associated with tinnitus. These features work by introducing soothing sounds, like white noise, ocean waves or other calming tones, that help mask or drown out the perceived noise of tinnitus. This not only alleviates the discomfort caused by tinnitus but also enhances the overall auditory experience for the individual.
Telehealth Connectivity
Telehealth connectivity is a groundbreaking feature in modern hearing aids that facilitates remote adjustments and consultations with hearing healthcare professionals. This innovative technology allows wearers to connect with their audiologists or specialists from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating the necessity for in-person visits. Through secure online platforms, individuals can receive personalized adjustments to their hearing aids, ensuring optimal performance based on their evolving needs.
