The Latest Advancements In Hearing Aid Technology

Most hearing aids have four basic parts: a power source, a microphone, a receiver, and a processor. The hearing aids we offer at Beltone Chicago is that they build on these basics. We offer many advanced hearing aid options. Below, we highlight some of the latest advancements in hearing aid technology.

Improved Sound Processing

There have been many advancements with how hearing aids process sound. These advances make it possible to tailor hearing aids to a person’s unique needs. If you find it hard to hear higher frequencies, new hearing aids can help you hear this better.

Wireless Capabilities

Many Beltone hearing aids offer a wide range of wireless capabilities. One of these is Bluetooth compatibility. Bluetooth also cuts down on potential interference. This creates a smoother hearing experience. Some wireless-capable hearing aids also have binaural processing. This lets two hearing aids communicate with each other to give you better sound control.

Hearing Applications

Many of today’s hearing aids include apps. These can allow you to route various sound sources to your hearing aid. The Beltone HearMax app, for instance, lets you do the things listed below.

• Connects to your Apple Watch.
• Syncs your hearing aids with your smartphone.
• Streams audio to your hearing aid.
• Taps to access popular features like voice activation and various personalized suggestions.

Sound Environment Changes

Most people move from quiet indoor spaces to outside areas. This brings with it a lot of background sounds. Advances in artificial intelligence have led to advances in hearing aids. This allows some new hearing aids to adjust to different sound environments. This uses technology that mimics how your brain accounts for sound variations.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Many Beltone hearing aids use long-lasting zinc-air disposable batteries. Some hearing aid models available from Beltone now come with rechargeable batteries. One of these is the Beltone Amaze hearing aid.

Smaller Sizes

Today’s hearing aids are even more discrete. Beltone has customizable models that can be as small as a blueberry! These smaller models are perfect if you have a more active lifestyle. They’re great if you wear glasses since they won’t get in the way.
