However, if that\u2019s not an option for you, you can use compatible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entconsultants.net\/audiology\/hearing-aids\/accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">assistive listening devices <\/a>called streamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your hearing aids can be paired with the streamer, and then the streamer is paired with your other devices like your smartphone or tablet. After everything is connected, the streamer can pick up the Bluetooth signal from your phone or tablet and send it to your hearing aid using either an FM signal or electromagnetic field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to use a streamer, ask your audiologist about what the best option is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"bluetooth-benefits\">Bluetooth Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>High-quality sound. <\/strong>Bluetooth signals are stable. This means your audio won&#8217;t cut out while streaming. Because sound is streaming directly to your earpiece, it also reduces the likelihood of feedback.<\/li><li><strong>Easier to listen to music. <\/strong>Put on your favorite tunes as you take a stroll through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sioux-city.org\/Home\/Components\/FacilityDirectory\/FacilityDirectory\/36\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sertoma Park.<\/a> Your hearing aids can double as wireless earbuds. This means a better listening experience than headphones and no need to take your aids out when you want to listen to music.<\/li><li><strong>Hear TV better. <\/strong>Eliminate reverberation that can occur between the TV speakers and your ears and adjust the TV volume for your hearing aids separately from the volume on the TV.<\/li><li><strong>Phone conversations are clearer. <\/strong>Don\u2019t worry about struggling to hear the person on the other end of the line.Streaming allows you to hear phone conversations in both ears and provides a much clearer sound. You also avoid problems such as feedback or distorted sound from holding your phone too close to your ear.<\/li><li><strong>Personalized listening. <\/strong>Focus on the sounds you really want to hear.Streaming can be amplified and customized to match your hearing aids\u2019 settings and it can help cut down on background noise as well.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about Bluetooth and hearing aids or to schedule an appointment, contact <span class=\"company-name \">Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Consultants<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul class=\"related-posts\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entconsultants.net\/staying-informed-with-hearing-aids-and-alerting-devices\/\" class=\"related-post\">Staying Informed with Hearing Aids and Alerting Devices<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entconsultants.net\/understanding-and-managing-worsening-tinnitus\/\" class=\"related-post\">Understanding and Managing Worsening Tinnitus<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entconsultants.net\/how-to-recognize-and-manage-aphasia\/\" class=\"related-post\">How To Recognize and Manage Aphasia<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s easier than ever to use Bluetooth\u2122 with your hearing aids to connect to your personal electronic devices and improve your listening experience.
