Hearing aids
Hearing aid dispensing and servicing
Today’s digital hearing aids are engineered to be smarter. Many listeners prefer “Receiver-in-the-canal” hearing aids for the comfort. They are discrete since there is little to no bulky plastic visible, making them an attractive option. Other styles include completely-in-the-canal, in-the-canal, in-the-ear and behind-the-ear hearing aids. Depending on the level of technology, the devices will automatically adjust depending on the situation whether you are in a noisy restaurant or the privacy of your own home.
Hands-Free Convenience
These hearing aids can be as simple as placing in the ear and letting the hearing aids adjust automatically. Those who prefer more hands-on control can connect their Android or Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Apple watches) to their hearing aids, enabling hands-free communication in both ears. Apps enable the phone to function as a remote control for volume, bass, and treble preferences. The phone also acts as an external microphone, useful in noisy situations.
