How do Bluetooth^® hearing aids work?

Bluetooth^® is a wireless communication technology which means that it allows for the transfer of data between two or more small electronic devices without any cords. It is designed to communicate between devices over less than 10 meters.

How to find out if you have a Bluetooth hearing aid

Bluetooth^® hearing aids use Bluetooth Low Energy technology (BLE). It is somewhat different from the classic Bluetooth^® used in laptops. For this reason, having a connectivity accessory as an intermediate device is often needed to be able to connect your hearing aids to your smart devices.

1. Bluetooth^® hearing aids allow you to hear phone conversations more clearly

By connecting your hearing aid to your smartphone via Bluetooth^®, your phone conversations will be sent directly through your Bluetooth® hearing aids. It means that you don’t have to strain to hear what’s being said through the phone receiver.

Many hearing aid manufacturers have partnered with Apple to make Made for iPhone^™ hearing aids. It means that your hearing aids can connect directly to your chosen Apple device.

Most Android devices, on the other hand, require a “streamer” which functions as an intermediate device to facilitate communication between the Bluetooth^® hearing aids and the device.²

2. Listen to your favorite TV program at your own chosen volume setting

Have you ever asked your friends to turn up the volume on the television because you couldn’t hear?

With Bluetooth® hearing aids you can wirelessly connect to the television. This way you can watch the program at your own preferred volume, while your family members can enjoy their preferred volume setting on the TV. Finally – a solution that works well for everyone.

You will need a TV Adapter to connect your hearing aids wirelessly to your TV.
