At Otic Hearing Aid Center, patients will always have access to the latest hearing aid technology. The evolution of the traditional hearing aid is an incredible ongoing story. What started out as a simple instrument is now one of the most advanced devices in the world. Our advanced hearing aids come with features like noise reduction and feedback cancellation, providing clear and natural sound quality. Embracing the positive decision to invest in hearing aids can significantly improve your communication, boost your confidence in social settings, and help you enjoy the world of sounds around you.
Features
The features of a hearing aid are centered around the microphone, speaker and amplifier. All of the progress to hearing aids have focused on improving sound for the wearer. As the sound goes through the microphone, it is converted for use through the amplifier. Instantaneously, this sound wave goes from the speaker to the wearer’s ear.
AI
AI has been introduced into the hearing industry as an improvement to the user experience. As it learns, AI helps create a hands-off approach to optimizing your hearing experience. It will activate sound profiles based on the environment, or go into low power mode to save battery. All of this is done without the need for any kind of user intervention.
Batteries
Rechargeable batteries are becoming more common in modern hearing aids. This takes away the annoyance of having to change the battery every time it gets depleted. Only hearing aids equipped with rechargeable batteries are compatible with this type. As new models get introduced, rechargeable batteries will eventually replace the traditional zinc-air batteries.
Software
When smartphone software was introduced as a companion app for hearing aids, it was a big deal. Audiologists would optimize the settings on the initial setup and over the years, as needed. Remote hearing care added another layer of convenience by allowing this to take place remotely with the audiologist. With AI now becoming popular, the software of your hearing aid can auto adjust itself without the need for a third party.
Cellphone Accessories
Smartphones come out of the box with hearing enhancement features. The addition of cell phone accessories is a bonus to any person suffering from hearing loss. There are many products, but the most popular are portable amplifiers and headphones. With a compatible smartphone, everything will work as intended.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is in all major home consumer products with Wi-Fi. A hearing aid that is Bluetooth certified can connect to these products to wirelessly stream audio. The technology is efficient, and uses very little power to deliver high quality sound. Once paired to a device, your hearing aid will automatically connect without the need for future pairings.
