Hearing aid has certainly changed in the last decade, and what’s new today may be outdated in the next decade. Many people avoid hearing aids based on how they usually remember what they look like. However, this has changed a lot, so here are some of the features you can expect from modern hearing aids.

Wireless technology

One of the best things that technology has brought us is that many of the devices we use are now wireless. No need to deal with tangled or unnecessarily long cables that are often pre-connected to many electronic devices. Most modern hearing aids have wireless capabilities that allow hearing aids to communicate with each other. Adjusting one automatically adjusts the other, simplifying hearing aid fitting. Pretty efficient, right? Hearing aids can also adapt to the sounds around them and work together to adjust accordingly. This means you don’t have to worry about manually setting the levels correctly.

Compatibility with your smartphone

Do you want to connect your hearing aids to your phone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled device? It stands to reason that most other devices in your home have this capability as well, so your hearing aids can do it for you. Some hearing aids work with a remote control when you select a specific model, allowing you to control your hearing aid with one touch from your mobile phone. Audiologists can explain all available smartphone compatible devices and which remote control devices can be used.

Open ear device

For many conventional hearing aids, a mold is taken of the patient’s outer ear. Molding fits perfectly and seals the entrance to the ear canal. Today, however, there are some that leave the ear canal mostly free and unobtrusive, and there are also open-ear devices, as they are more commonly called, that are placed behind the ear instead of the ear. Like jewels, they come in a variety of designs, so they may not stand out at all to others.

Collection of Data

Many of the electronic devices we have with modern technology can do many things, so much so that most people with hearing aids have data logging capabilities. An advanced feature that allows you to store data across any environment. This means that in a familiar environment the hearing aid will adjust to the volume you were wearing previously. Audiologists can use the data obtained from hearing aids to adjust and improve their functionality. The more you log, the better your hearing aids adapt to your needs.

Reduction of wind noise

There is nothing more annoying than hearing the wind while wearing hearing aids. Excessive wind noise really annoys hearing aid wearers, but thanks to technology, hearing aids can now detect the presence of wind blowing into the hearing aid microphone. In other words, it helps prevent or reduce the noise that occurs. With less wind noise, the sound and quality you hear is more pronounced.
