Bluetooth Technology: "Bells and Whistles" or Necessity?

Hearing loss sufferers and their family members typically have four primary complaints: "I can't hear on the phone." "We have to shout so our loved one can hear what we're saying over the phone." "I have to turn up the TV really loud so I can hear it." "The TV has to be so loud we can't watch it together now." "I can't hear conversations in noisy places." "We have to get really close so our loved one can somewhat decipher what we're saying in crowded or noisy environments." "It's impossible to turn the computer volume level high enough to understand what's being said." Bluetooth  (wireless) technology makes the following solutions possible: Streaming the volume of phones, televisions, computers, and portable music players directly to your hearing aids Watching the television without having to adjust the volume level Hearing the television from anywhere in the house Hands free phone use Hearing telephone conversations in both ears Answering the telephone without leaving your seat Focusing on social activities and people around you instead of working hard to listen!
