iPhone Compatible Hearing Aids

Plenty of people in my age category need hearing aids but refuse to get them because of the stigma associated with them. But now there are “made for iPhone” hearing aids and the hearing aid makers hope pairing hearing aids (uncool technology) with iPhones (cool technology) changes that! The best part of this new technology combo is the smart phone apps that give the users the ability to adjust their own hearing aids without needing an appointment with an audiologist. With these cool apps hearing aid users can fine tune their audio settings for different acoustic environs and geotag them so the hearing aids automatically switch to the right program when the owner is at home, their office, or their favorite coffee shop. The smart phone can even act as a directional microphone to help pick out the voice of a friend over lunch in a busy restaurant. And unlike current Bluetooth linked hearing aid technology iPhone compatible hearing aids are wireless. So instead of asking, “What?” and expecting everything said to you to be repeated, I ask, “What’s not to love?” about iPhone compatible hearing aids.
