How Streaming Works With Hearing Aids
Hearing aids have advanced significantly in terms of the technology inside them. With streaming being such a big part of how media is consumed these days, being able to enjoy your favorite music or TV show with your hearing aids is a feature you might want when choosing the best device for you.
How Does Streaming Work With Hearing Aids
Certain models of hearing aids have a feature that allows sound from any of your devices to be transmitted directly into your hearing aids. This makes it easy to use your TV or phone just like you would with wireless headphones, but in a way that’s specifically tailored to your hearing needs. Hearing aids use Bluetooth to deliver audio straight from the device they’re paired to.
If your hearing aids don’t offer Bluetooth capability, some accessories, such as TV streamers or phone clips, can connect to your media sources, allowing you to experience audio streaming for hearing aids without background noise. These devices work in conjunction with your hearing aids to provide a hands-free, wireless hearing aid streaming experience.
There are also devices with a directional microphone that detect sounds and transfer them to your hearing aid. You just place it close to the source of the audio you’re trying to hear and adjust the volume on the device.
Everyday Benefits of Hearing Aid Streaming
Using hearing aids comes with a lot of adjustments, but you don’t need to give up your favorite media. There are benefits to being able to stream to your hearing aids wirelessly with the right device or piece of additional equipment.
- Clearer phone and video calls
- Better TV and music listening
- Improved social connection
- Hands-free convenience
Common Questions About Wireless Hearing Aid Streaming
Do all hearing aids have streaming capability?
No. The availability of streaming features depends on the hearing aid model and accessory compatibility. In order to know how you can take advantage of hearing aid streaming to your TV or phone, you should check your specific model’s user guide.
Does streaming drain the battery faster?
Streaming to your hearing aids does use more power and can drain your battery faster than normal. If your hearing aids are rechargeable, it’s easy to plug them in when needed.
Does the type of phone or TV I have matter?
Many hearing aids are designed to connect directly to both iPhones and Android devices. However, compatibility can vary depending on the model of your hearing aids and your phone’s operating system. Most hearing aids don’t connect directly to TVs, so you’ll need an accessory like a TV streamer to enjoy your favorite movies or TV shows.
