Bluetooth is a versatile wireless technology that allows a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other over short distances (about 30 feet).
-
When connected, Bluetooth-enabled devices — smartphones, TVs, computers, tablets, and music systems — can share audio, videos, or other media and data. This is called streaming.
-
Remember: Not all smartphones, TVs, computers, and music players are compatible with streaming audio and phone calls. If you want this feature, check your phone's capabilities.
-
If you do not have a smartphone, some hearing aids offer wireless accessories that can link your hearing aids and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as your TV. Ask your audiologist for their recommendation.
What are Bluetooth hearing aids?
Hearing aids with Bluetooth can connect with other Bluetooth-equipped accessories, providing you with more convenience, control, and sound clarity.
How you benefit
Bluetooth-equipped hearing aids can do the following:
-
Wireless audio streaming: For clearer sound, you can stream audio directly to your hearing aids from Bluetooth-enabled devices like smartphones, TVs, computers, and music players. This makes phone conversations super clear and easier — no need to hold the phone close to your ear.
-
Hands-free operation: With Bluetooth connectivity, you can move up to 30 feet away from your audio device while still being able to hear the sound clearly in your hearing aids. You can stream your favorite Netflix series while making a quick trip to the kitchen without interrupting the audio.
-
Remote control: Many Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids have dedicated mobile apps that let you customize settings like volume, and program presets for places such as work, home, or the gym.
-
Some smartphone apps can help you locate misplaced hearing aids. Oticon, ReSound, Starkey, and Widex hearing aids offer the "Find My Hearing Aid" option.
-
Auracast support: The recently introduced Auracast feature allows multiple Bluetooth devices to connect to a single audio broadcast, benefiting hearing aid users in group settings.
Note: The following six examples are from the Widex Moment smartphone app.
Bluetooth is a proven, industry-standard protocol that has been tested and refined since its introduction in 2000. Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) is a power-efficient variant of Bluetooth, making it the perfect match for hearing aids.
Bottomline
Bluetooth hearing aids connect to your favorite devices, so you can stream audio, make phone calls, and control your hearing-aid settings quickly and conveniently.
