Hearing Aid Models For Specific Conditions

There are several models of hearing aids designed to help the ear's ability to hear in noise and cope with tinnitus.  There are also several hearing devices that can stream the volume of the television and phone directly to the hearing instruments.  Here are a few examples.

Phonak's Audeo Smart IX
Ideal for hearing in noise, Phonak's Audeo Smart IX is a newer hearing aid with bluetooth connectivity.  It features Zoom technology which allows the wearer to enhance their hearing in challenging, noisy environments.  It also features the ability to stream phone and television volume directly to the hearing aids through the use of a necklace streamer.

GN Resound Alera 9
One of the key features of the Alera is the built in streamer technology.  This feature allows you to stream the volume of your cell phone and television directly to your hearing aids without wearing a necklace streamer.  However, this hearing aid does not feature Zoom technology.
