Bluetooth® is a wireless communication technology which allows for the transfer of data between two or more small electronic devices (without the use of cords). Works up to 10 meters or less.

1. Bluetooth® hearing aids allow you to hear phone conversations more clearly

By connecting a compatible smartphone, the sounds from your phone conversation will be heard directly in your ears through your Bluetooth hearing aids. This means that you don't have to strain to hear what’s being said through the phone receiver.

Learn which connectivity solutions our hearing aids support.

Many hearing aid manufacturers have partnered with Apple to make Made for iPhone hearing aids. This means that your hearing aids can connect directly to your chosen Apple device.

Phones that are not compatible, can be connect via a "streaming device" that facilitates the communication between the phone and the hearing aids.

2. Listen to your favorite TV program at your own chosen volume setting

Have you ever asked your friends to turn up the volume on the television because you couldn’t hear?

With Bluetooth® hearing aids, you can wirelessly connect to the television. This way you can watch the program at your own preferred volume, while your family members can enjoy their preferred volume setting on the TV. Finally – a solution that works well for everyone.

There’s no need to swap out your hearing aids for headphones any longer. With Bluetooth® hearing aids you can connect wirelessly1 to your favorite playlist or podcast. This way your Bluetooth® hearing aids can function as high-quality headphones

4. Enjoy better sound quality in video chats

You can use your Bluetooth® hearing aids to stay in touch with loved ones via video chat. This convenience allows you to hear the conversations directly through your hearing aids. You no longer have to struggle to hear the sounds of the chat through the computer speaker since the sound (i.e. your relative’s voice or laugh) is streamed to your Bluetooth® hearing aids.

5. Make your life easier with phone apps designed for Bluetooth® hearing aids

There are a selection of smartphone apps available which allow you to perform hearing aid related tasks.

An example of an app that can make life with hearing aids easier is the Oticon ON app that allows you to do the following:

  • Connect your hearing aids to smart devices in your home via the IFTTT system.
  • Adjust the volume on your Bluetooth® hearing aids
  • Change the pre-set programs in your Bluetooth® hearing aids
  • Find your hearing aids using a hearing aid locater

Another example is the Oticon RemoteCare app. It allows you to have a remote consultation with your hearing care expert. This means that you can connect remotely to your hearing care expert for follow-up appointments (through the app's video and audio capabilities). If needed, your hearing care expert can also adjust your hearing aids remotely through the app.
