Hearing Aid Features in 2022 The advent of digital hearing aids has led to major advances in hearing solutions. Thus, the digital evolution that underpins our society now allows us to produce smaller and more powerful hearing aids.
Connectivity Until recently, hearing aids did not offer any Bluetooth® connectivity. What can Bluetooth® technology do for your hearing aids? It allows you to pair your hearing aids with your smartphone, so you can receive audio signals (phone calls, music, TV, etc.) directly in your hearing aids. In some cases, one or two accessories are required to enable this functionality.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids Before the new generation of rechargeable hearing aids arrived, users had to replace their batteries on a regular basis. To overcome this problem, hearing aid manufacturers have equipped hearing aids with rechargeable batteries like those used in smartphones. All you have to do is put your hearing aids in the provided charging case every night. The charging dock also allows you to charge your hearing aids without plugging them into an electrical outlet, as a rechargeable battery is built-in. The newest generation of rechargeable hearing aids makes handling easier and saves you money.
An assessment by an audioprosthetist is required to determine which hearing aid suits the patient’s needs.
Technological innovations are constantly emerging in hearing health. Besides improving communication, modern hearing aids offer several features that enhance the user experience.
