Hearing aid options and accessibility
Wireless Hearing Aids
Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids offer convenience and improved functionality. By streaming signals from other electronic devices directly to your hearing aids, you can stay connected more easily.
You can stream the audio signals to either one or both hearing aids, helpful in situations where you need to be able to hear other sounds, such as when you are talking on the phone. You can use your hearing aids as wireless earbuds when listening to music or watching television. Most hearing aids allow you to adjust the volume and built-in programs easily. You can also switch between electronic devices with just a push of a button.
TV Listening Devices
With everyone spending more time at home these days, many of us are finding ourselves watching more TV, both for entertainment and to keep current on the latest news. If you're struggling to hear your TV, the Phonak TV Connector may be the right solution! This device makes it possible for you to enjoy stereo-streamed sound quality from any TV or stereo system. These devices are available for nearly all hearing devices.
Remote Programming
Some of today's new hearing devices allow for remote programming adjustments. Depending on your hearing aid model, we can perform adjustments to frequency, loudness, and other settings during a telemedicine visit.
