Three Solutions for Hearing Better in Noisy Places Pt. 2


After an audiologist has determined how well an individual is able to hear speech in noise, tolerate loud sounds, and understand rapid speech, three potential solutions for hearing better in noisy places can be explored.  A hearing loss that makes it difficult to discern speech in noise can be treated using digital hearing aids with highly developed digital noise suppression and bluetooth accessories.   Bluetooth accessories for hearing aids make it possible to wirelessly stream the volume of a phone, portable music device, mini-microphone, and television directly to both hearing aids usually through the use of a remote.  Bluetooth connection to a cell phone or land line often improve the clarity of the caller's voice simply because the caller is heard in both hearing aids.  More than that, certain bluetooth circuits will deliver a stereo signal again enhancing the clarity for TV listening, computer streaming, and music comprehension.  Bluetooth compatible hearing aids are available at all three levels of technology and generally require an accessory to access the bluetooth capabilities.  This is customized based on the individual's lifestyle and comfort with the technology.
