How Bluetooth Hearing Aids Work and Why They're Worth the Switch
Posted on: 1 July 2020
Traditional hearing aids often posed a music-listening dilemma for their users. Hearing aids need to be removed from the ear to listen to music with headphones and carry out long phone conversations comfortably. However, there now exists a prototype solution to this problem, which may soon be available from retail outlets across Australia. Bluetooth hearing aids use smart technology to transmit signals from your phone, tablet, or music player directly into your hearing device. Here is everything you should know about this new exciting technology.
Understanding How Bluetooth Works to Safely Transmit Signals
Over the past decade, Bluetooth has increasingly been incorporated as a feature of various electrical devices. From phones to cars and even ovens, Bluetooth has revolutionised smart technology. Bluetooth uses radio waves to connect devices, transferring signals to share data between components of one system. Bluetooth connectivity is entirely wireless and uses minimal energy; therefore, it is for many developers the ideal wave signal to use in devices requiring constant use.
Bluetooth hearing aids have almost tackled issues that regular hearing aids cause for their users. They bypass the traditional, low-performance hearing aid battery by using streamers as a link between the wireless hearing aids and the Bluetooth device.
Exciting Features of Bluetooth Hearing Aids Technology
The listening experience via Bluetooth isn't just better for those using hearing aids — it is more pleasant for everyone. The audio signal used by the Bluetooth-enabled device can be adjusted according to your preferences. You can choose to have the signal sent to only one of your earphones or, in this case, hearing devices. You can also shape or amplify the signal per your auditive tastes, adjusting pitch, bass, and echo.
Bluetooth hearing aids could also be paired to various devices simultaneously, so you can easily switch between receiving a signal from your phone to that of your TV, laptop, music player, and even smart home devices. This means that you will not be required to miss an urgent phone call while streaming a video on your tablet; instead, the two signals will sync into one holistic system.
Soon, the discomforts of placing the phone close to your hearing aid's microphone and awkwardly holding it there will be forgotten. Bluetooth hearing aids aren't just an edgy technology of the future; they are the innovations of the present. Though technology is already accessible to allow you to use Bluetooth technology with your wireless hearing aids, the prospect of no longer needing a streamer to do so is exciting.
