Bluetooth hearing aids can make it easier to stay connected to the devices you use throughout your day. Depending on the hearing aid and compatible device, you may be able to stream phone calls, music, videos, and other audio directly through your hearing aids or manage certain settings from your smartphone.
At Apex Audiology, we offer Bluetooth hearing aids from leading manufacturers and help you choose connectivity features that fit the way you use technology every day. Our audiologists consider your hearing needs, lifestyle, technology preferences, and the devices you use before recommending your options.
Bluetooth hearing aids use wireless technology to connect with compatible smartphones, tablets, televisions, and other electronic devices. This allows audio from a connected device to be delivered through your hearing aids rather than through the device's speakers.
Depending on the hearing aid and device, you may be able to connect directly or use a compatible streaming accessory. Available features can vary by hearing aid model, manufacturer, and the device you're connecting to.
Bluetooth connectivity can make it easier to use your hearing aids with the technology you rely on every day.
With compatible hearing aids and smartphones, you can stream calls directly through your hearing aids, helping you hear conversations more clearly and conveniently.
Stream music, podcasts, audiobooks, and videos directly through your hearing aids instead of switching between your hearing aids and headphones.
A compatible TV streaming accessory can send television audio directly to your hearing aids while allowing others in the room to listen at their preferred volume.
Many hearing aid manufacturers offer smartphone apps that let you manage compatible features from your phone:
Not every Bluetooth hearing aid offers the same connectivity, and not every model works the same way with every smartphone. At Apex Audiology, we look at both your hearing needs and how you plan to use the technology before recommending your options.
When comparing Bluetooth hearing aids, our audiologists consider:
Your hearing needs come first when determining appropriate hearing aid options.
We consider whether you use an iPhone or Android, your specific phone model, and which connectivity features are supported with the hearing aids we're considering.
We look at the features that matter to you, from phone calls and media streaming to smartphone controls.
If TV streaming, tablets, computers, or other technology are important to you, we'll consider how those devices can work with your hearing aids and whether an accessory may be needed.
We consider how comfortable you are with smartphone apps and connected features so the technology you choose feels practical to use.
Where and how you use your hearing aids remains an important part of choosing the right technology.
We'll help you compare appropriate options without recommending features you don't need.
At Apex Audiology, our support extends beyond choosing your Bluetooth-compatible hearing aid. We help you understand the technology you're considering, set up the features you choose, and learn how to use them with the devices that are part of your daily routine.
Choosing between hearing aids can be easier when you understand how their features work in real life. During your visit, our audiologists can show you compatible Bluetooth hearing aid options, explain how their connectivity features differ, and let you experience relevant technology for yourself.
Based on the hearing aids you're considering, we can walk you through features such as:
Streaming calls and other audio
Smartphone app controls
TV streaming options
Compatible wireless accessories
Connectivity with the phone and devices you use
You can ask questions and get a better sense of which features would be useful to you before making your decision.
Once your hearing aids are selected, programmed, and fitted, we'll help you get the Bluetooth features you plan to use up and running. Our team can help with:
Pairing your hearing aids with a compatible smartphone
Connecting the manufacturer's hearing aid app
Setting up available calling and audio-streaming features
Connecting a compatible TV or other wireless accessories
Showing you how to use the controls and features relevant to you
Explaining how to reconnect your hearing aids if they become disconnected
Questions about Bluetooth hearing aids often come up once you start using your hearing aids with your own phone, TV, and other devices at home. Hearing aids purchased from Apex Audiology include lifetime follow-up care, so you can return to our team for help with your devices, adjustments, and questions as your needs change.
Some Bluetooth hearing aids connect directly to compatible devices, while other listening situations may require an accessory to provide the connectivity you want.
Depending on your hearing aids and needs, accessories may include:
Our team can help you understand which accessories are compatible with your hearing aids and whether you actually need one for the devices you use.
If you already wear Bluetooth hearing aids and are having trouble with streaming or other connected features, our team can help identify and resolve the problem.
We can check the connection between your hearing aids and devices, review relevant settings, and determine whether the issue involves Bluetooth connectivity, your hearing aid programming, an accessory, or the hearing aids themselves. Apex Audiology can assist with many hearing aids from leading manufacturers, including devices that weren't originally purchased or fitted at our practice.
If your hearing aids need more than connectivity support, we can also provide cleaning, reprogramming, troubleshooting, and repair services when appropriate.
The right Bluetooth hearing aids should support both your hearing and the way you use technology in everyday life. At Apex Audiology, we start by understanding your hearing, the devices you use, and the connectivity features that matter to you before recommending your options.
With locations in Southwest and Northeast Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Canon City, our team provides hearing aid care throughout Southern Colorado.
