MODERN HEARING AID FEATURES
Hearing aids are small, electronic devices that are worn to help a person hear and understand speech. These sophisticated devices have come a long way in their development and now have modern features.
BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY: Modern day hearing aids have bluetooth technology and connect to other bluetooth-enabled products. This allows hearing aid users to stream audio from phone calls, music programs, podcast apps and more.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: Placing disposable batteries has long been a concern for hearing aid wearers, especially those who have challenges with dexterity. The burden of bringing spare batteries and changing them often is eliminated with rechargeable batteries. Hearing aids have lithium-ion rechargeable hearing aids, which is more convenient and gives the user a full-day of power while allowing them to recharge overnight.
TELEHEALTH/ REMOTE PROGRAMMING: The advent of technology has allowed many hearing aid users to have their hearing aids reprogrammed from the comfort of their homes. This is convenient for users who live far away, are traveling or might not be feeling well due to illness. Depending on your hearing aids, it can be a live session or simply virtually uploading the setting to your hearing aid.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) + MACHINE LEARNING: Today's hearing aids collect data about the various environments where the user engages in conversation or listening. Some of the top hearing aids brands use data to adapt the hearing aids settings and improve them for each user. These features allow for a more personalized and refined sound, helping wearers hear in a wide variety of listening environments.
BRAIN LEARNING:
When wearing hearing aids for the first time, you may have different emotions about the sounds you hear. This is normal and to be expected.
The goal of the hearing aid is to make everyday sounds audible and comfortable. The sound you hear should be clear and pleasant. Small changes will be made to the hearing aids at your first and subsequent fitting.
Keep in mind that it may take some time to get used to the sounds you were missing, and by working closely with Ekho Audiology, you will get the most out of your new hearing aids.
We are honored to be a part of your hearing journey.
Attitude is an important key to success!
Hearing aid studies show that people with a positive attitude are more successful adapting to hearing aids.
If you, as well as your family member, approach your hearing aid fitting with a positive outlook, you will adjust to your listening journey more quickly.
