Recent Hearing Aid Technology Upgrades
Rechargeability is a buzzword for hearing aids these days; when it first came out, hearing aid wearers had a window of about eight to 10 hours before their hearing aids needed charging again. That wasn’t enough for most people—and manufacturers sought to fix that.
Now, with the power of lithium-ion batteries, hearing aids get up to 24 hours of use on one charge. All hearing aids also come with apps for your smartphone, so you can open the app and track your battery life, making sure it’s charged and ready for the day.
These apps also allow for on-the-go programming adjustments as needed. Let’s say you’re at a restaurant with a loved one and it’s a little noisy, and you’d like to hear what they have to say. Now, with your smartphone app connected to your hearing aids, you can make some modifications in the app and tell your aids what you need to hear.
Listening with technology has never been easier!
Hearing aid technology is constantly changing and improving, keeping the patient at front of mind with advancements in smartphone compatibility, artificial intelligence, recharging batteries, and more.
Something that’s advanced today could be entirely brand new by tomorrow—that’s the beauty of a fast-paced industry that’s always working to make the user experience more friendly and streamlined.
