Hearing Aid Technology

Your hearing aids will become an integral part of your daily life and how you communicate with others, whether having coffee with coworkers or sitting down to a family dinner. That’s why the team at Family Hearing Care offers devices that take advantage of the latest hearing aid technology breakthroughs. Our audiologists can help you evaluate these solutions and decide which types of hearing aid technology are a fit for your needs. We take a closer look at your options below.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids

One of the most helpful hearing aid improvements in recent years is the rise of rechargeable hearing aid batteries. These allow you to simply charge your hearing aids overnight instead of having to go to the store to purchase a new battery every few weeks. You’ll also save money with a rechargeable hearing aid since you won’t have to keep paying for new batteries.

Smartphone Connectivity

Many hearing aids today come equipped with Bluetooth technology. This makes it possible to connect them to your smartphone, tablet, computer and any other devices that have Bluetooth in them. This essentially means your hearing aids can double as headphones.

Water Resistance

Another new feature is water resistance in hearing aids. This technology keeps your hearing aids from being damaged by things like sweat and moisture in the air. However, this doesn’t mean that your hearing aids will be waterproof. They can still be damaged if you accidentally leave them on while bathing or go swimming with them.

Sleek, Low-Profile Designs

You may also appreciate the modern low-profile hearing aid designs. Some models now can fit entirely inside your ear canal. The main advantage of this is that your hearing aids will stand out less when you’re wearing them. Many of the people you speak with while wearing a hearing aid with a modern design won’t even realize you’re using a hearing support device.

Tinnitus-Masking Features

Finally, we also carry hearing aids with integrated tinnitus-masking features. If you’ve been experiencing tinnitus, wearing one of these hearing aids can reduce your symptoms and improve your emotional wellbeing.

Bluetooth Hearing Aids

We supply a variety of hearing aids that include Bluetooth technology. As highlighted previously on this page, these double as wireless headphones and make it easier for you to enjoy your favorite media without having to take out your hearing aids or make complicated adjustments to them to do so.

If you’re interested in a Bluetooth hearing aid, reach out to one of the audiologists at Family Hearing Care. Once you tell us which devices you plan on using your new Bluetooth hearing aid with, we can make a hearing aid recommendation that’s perfect for your needs.
