Hearing aids are incredibly customizable in today’s age – offering up convenience features like Bluetooth connectivity and remote settings, combined with technology like intuitive artificial intelligence and multisettings. With so many options, knowing where to start can be challenging, which is why the hearing specialists at Clark Hearing are here to help guide you through the selection process. We can help you take full advantage of the latest advances in hearing aid technology, including these popular options below.
Sleek, Discreet Designs
New hearing aids have sleeker, more discreet designs than what was available in the past. These can be more comfortable to wear and tend to make it more difficult for others to see your hearing aid when you’re out and about.
There are pros and cons to different hearing aid designs, so it’s important to think carefully about which style is right for you. A hearing specialist at Clark Hearing can help you make that decision based on your personal hearing situation.
Rechargeable Hearing Aids
Traditional hearing aids have disposable batteries that you have to pay to replace every few weeks. Many modern hearing aids now feature rechargeable batteries to spare you the hassle. Charge them overnight and you can use them for a full day. You won’t have to worry about an ongoing battery expense, either. And because you recharge them, you’re reducing the waste and doing something beneficial for the environment!
Bluetooth and Smartphone Connectivity
Some modern hearing aids have built-in Bluetooth connectivity. This means you can use them with your favorite devices as if they were headphones. That makes it easier to talk on the phone, watch videos on your tablet and engage with your electronics in the other ways you enjoy.
Water Resistance
You might also want hearing aids that are resistant to water. This can be helpful if you live in an area with a lot of moisture or enjoy spending time near water. The feature lets you continue enjoying the hobbies that you love without having to worry about damaging your hearing in the process.
AI-Integrated Features
AI features include sound scene classification to optimize settings in various environments, adaptive noise reduction for clearer communication, and personalized sound adjustments based on user preferences. They also offer real-time translation and transcription, voice assistant integration, and health monitoring capabilities. Additionally, AI optimizes battery management by learning user habits, ensuring efficient power consumption and readiness. These advancements make hearing aids powerful tools for better hearing and overall well-being.
Enhanced Speech Comprehension and Quality
Modern hearing aids also typically have superior sound quality and speech comprehension. They deliver more natural-sounding hearing experiences across all of the different sound environments you frequent.
Tinnitus-Masking Features
Finally, many hearing aids have built-in features that mask tinnitus sounds. They can make it much easier to live an enjoyable life with tinnitus so that the condition no longer impacts your life as severely as it may today.
