Hearing Aid Technology

Hearing aid technology has improved tremendously over the past few decades, resulting in technology that meets your unique hearing loss profile. The audiologists at Hearing and Ear Care Center can help you take full advantage of these advancements when selecting your next hearing aid.

Because we want you to have the best listening experience possible, we offer hearing solutions with a varying array of technology to suit your preferences. 

Types of Hearing Aid Technology

Whether you want a device that adjusts to different hearing environments, effortless connectivity or remote control options, our feature-rich devices can be used to address your personal requirements. 

Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Rechargeable hearing aids do away with the traditional hearing aid batteries that need to be replaced every few weeks. Instead, you charge these devices in much the same way that you charge a cell phone or laptop.

Some manufacturers have even started creating charging cases for hearing aids. These are perfect for those with an active lifestyle, as they allow you to charge your hearing aids while on the go.

Bluetooth and Smartphone Connectivity

Modern hearing aids now offer Bluetooth connectivity. This means you can connect them to any Bluetooth-enabled device, like your cell phone, laptop and tablets. With smartphone connectivity, you can even use your hearing aids during phone calls or while using your favorite mobile apps. This technology makes it much easier to engage with modern devices without having to deal with hearing loss complications while doing so.

Water-Resistant Hearing Aids

Our team can also help you find water-resistant hearing aids. These provide some built-in resistance to water, making them a good fit for those with water-related hobbies like fishing and people who live in humid climates or sweat heavily.

Water-resistant hearing aids are not completely waterproof. But they allow you to get out and do what you love without having to worry as much about damaging your hearing aids by doing so.

Sleek Design

Modern hearing aid technology has also evolved the shape and fit of hearing devices. New designs are sleeker and more difficult for others to see than ever before. This includes invisible-in-canal (IIC) devices, which are practically invisible to others.

Taking advantage of sleek designs like this allows you to get the hearing support that you need without immediately making it obvious that you’re wearing a hearing aid to everyone you encounter.

Enhanced Compression and Sound Quality

Technologically-sophisticated hearing aids also offer better speech compression and sound quality. These devices are better at separating speech, which you want to hear, from background noise, which you don’t.

The net result is that modern hearing aids make it easier to follow along with conversations than ever before – even in busy areas with many different noises occurring simultaneously.

Tinnitus-Masking Features

Many hearing aids also feature tinnitus-masking features, which help to reduce the prevalence of ringing, buzzing and clicking sounds. These devices are perfect for those struggling with both tinnitus and hearing loss.
