Evolving technology helps the hearing industry improve the quality of their hardware and software features. With these improvements, patients will get the best experience possible for their hearing aids. Heights Audiology & Hearing Aids stays up to date with these changes by offering the latest styles, brands and accessories.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth has been around for years as the go to method for providing compatible wireless audio. Most modern consumer hardware with internet capabilities will also come packaged with a Bluetooth radio. This includes smartphones, tablets, cars, computers and even home media systems. Hearing aids are now part of that group, with the ability to share sound after the initial pairing. Along with your hearing aids, multiple devices can pair up to a single Bluetooth radio.
Batteries
Hearing aid batteries are known for their longevity and optimizations. The introduction of rechargeable hearing aids brings that same great package to a reusable format. With quick charging capabilities and embedded power saving features, a rechargeable battery is a great value. Only hearing aids built with a rechargeable battery can take advantage of these cutting-edge features.
Docks
Proprietary tech is one of the hardest things to deal with as a consumer. That is why charging docks are provided with rechargeable hearing aids at no additional cost. The cable used to plug in the dock can be found anywhere and will either be a universal serial bus type-C (USB-C) or micro-USB. These two cables are the most common for any household that has a smartphone. If you ever lose the charging cable for the dock, replacing it will be simple.
Tinnitus Relief
Tinnitus relief is one of the biggest feature rollouts for modern hearing aids. Only a select few models have it, but the results are incredible. Some patients have gone on to upgrade their hearing aids for this game changing benefit. Speak to your audiologist for more information about hearing devices with tinnitus relief.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Learning
Artificial intelligence is popping up everywhere, and the hearing industry is no different. When a hearing aid is AI assisted, it will automatically adapt to an environment without the need for user intervention. That means there is no need to manually set the volume, equalizer or other prominent settings of the device. The AI in hearing aids remains highly customizable, so the user is always in full control when needed. Out of all modern equipment with AI options, hearing aids are already seeing the most active benefits per user.
