Using Hearing Aids with Wireless Devices

Hearing loss sufferers are on the increase due to constant exposure to loud noise, aging, among other factors. Hearing aids help patients deal with their hearing loss in today’s society. These aids can be used a few times a day and sometimes permanently.

Many people with hearing damage rely on television, MP3 players, computers, and other audio sources for entertainment and communication. Hearing aids can now wirelessly connect to these devices with the help of Phonak’s new iCom- the communication interface.

As the Phonak website explains, iCom “offers the most convenient way to interface any wireless Phonak hearing aid (excl. Petite models) to modern communication devices.” The iCom allows a hearing aid to connect wirelessly to devices with Bluetooth technology. According to Phonak, it also “offers a 3.5mm stereo jack for cabled connections and can integrate an FM receiver via europlug.”

You can choose which signal to accept or decline, whether it is a call or audio streaming. TO find out more about the ways in which you can improve your life when suffering from hearing damage, contact your local Miami hearing center.
