Digital and Bluetooth Hearing Aids
Two becomes one
Wireless technology means that two hearing aids (one in each ear) can communicate with each other and operate in unison as one complete hearing solution, to give you the best listening experience possible. This technology also means hearing aids can effortlessly connect to other wireless and Bluetooth devices around you, to stream sound directly into your ears. So your family can hear the TV at the volume they want, whilst you’re able to adjust the volume to be as loud or as quiet as you want, by connecting your hearing aids to your TV.
Power at your fingertips
The very latest in hearing aid apps developed by the leading manufacturers, mean you have the power at your fingertips to tailor what you hear, even in the most challenging and noisy listening environments. By connecting your hearing aids via Bluetooth to your Apple or Android smartphone, you can control your hearing aid settings through the app on your phone.
Improving your health
With ground-breaking technology, some models are even looking after your physical and cognitive health, as well as your hearing! Like the award winning 2022 release of the Starkey Evolv AI 2400 Edge, winner of Time magazine’s 100 Best Inventions. The Evolv AI Edge keeps you engaged and your brain active, so you can enjoy a healthy social life and plenty of social interaction, which in turn, reduces stress and helps prevent depression.
This remarkable hearing solution tracks your steps and movement to help you maintain and increase your physical activity. And with life-saving fall detection that alerts your chosen close contacts, it will keep you safe and help you stay independent too
Simple to use and maintain
Digital development has resulted in superior hearing aids that are easy to use and maintain. They have added functionality, produce a richer, more natural sound and are generally smaller and more discreet. Most are also rechargeable and do not need batteries.
