Enhancing Communication with Modern Technology: Breaking Barriers for Better Connections

Advancements in technology have made it easier than ever to overcome communication barriers, especially if you’re having trouble hearing or keeping up in conversations. There’s likely a modern solution that can help improve your hearing and communication.

5 Signs You Could Benefit from Communication Assistance

• Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
• Struggling to hear conversations in noisy environments
• Difficulty hearing phone calls or TV shows
• Avoiding social situations  
• Feeling isolated or frustrated by miscommunication
• Avoiding loud gatherings where it is difficult to keep up with what is going on
• Being unable to follow a tv show without closed captioning

How Modern Hearing Aid Features Improve Everyday Life

Bluetooth Connectivity: When you receive a phone call, you can stream the call directly to your hearing aids via Bluetooth, making it much easier to hear the person on the other end. This feature also allows you to stream music or TV audio directly to your hearing aids without needing separate headphones.

Directional Microphones: Imagine you’re at a busy restaurant with friends, surrounded by the noise of other conversations and clinking dishes. Directional microphones help by focusing on the voices directly in front of you, making it easier to hear your friends clearly while filtering out background sounds.

Noise Reduction: If you’re walking outside on a windy day, the constant sound of the wind can be distracting. Noise reduction minimizes this background noise, allowing you to focus on more important sounds like conversations or nearby traffic.

Rechargeable Batteries: You can charge your hearing aids overnight, just like your smartphone. This means you only need to bring your charger and won’t have to worry about carrying extra batteries.

Feedback Cancellation: Feedback refers to the whistling or high-pitched noise that sometimes occurs when hearing aids are not fitted properly. Feedback cancellation technology detects and reduces this noise, so even if you put your hand near your ear or hug someone, you won’t hear any annoying squeals.

Smartphone Compatibility: You can adjust your hearing aid settings right from your phone. For example, if you’re at a concert, you can use the app on your phone to quickly change the settings to reduce background noise.
