Music, Memories & Modern Tech With Connected Hearing Aids
Remember when you used to enjoy music through headphones, but it just didn’t sound quite right? As a teen, I thought it was just me trying to be cool with my headphones on, but the music always felt flat. Turns out, I needed my hearing aids! Fast forward to when Bluetooth headsets hit the scene—I couldn’t help but feel a little envious watching people effortlessly chat hands-free. Meanwhile, I was cheerfully greeting strangers in the grocery store, thinking they were talking to me. Spoiler: they were on their Bluetooth.

Comfortable Calls & No More Lost Earbuds
Since I connected my hearing aids to my cell phone, I’ve said goodbye to bulky, uncomfortable headphones during video calls. The sound goes straight to my hearing aids—clear and comfortable. And while my friends constantly lose their pricey earbuds, I’m ahead of the game. My hearing aids are always in, and I never have to worry about misplacing them.
GPS & Audiobooks: Your Secret Weapon: Your Phone
Missing a turn because you couldn’t hear the GPS? Not anymore. My GPS instructions go directly into my hearing aids now, making road trips a breeze. And audiobooks? They’ve never sounded better. The sound feeds right into my ears, making stories more vivid and engaging. Plus, listening while reading is great practice for aural rehab. And the best part? I can listen to books with adult themes without worrying about others overhearing. And, podcasts too!!

No More Loud Ringers or Missed Calls
There was a time when my phone ringer was so loud that even kids would point out, “Your purse is ringing!” Embarrassing, right? But now, with my hearing aids connected to my cell phone, I hear every incoming call ring without disturbing the people around me. No more missed calls, and no more blaring ringers!
The "General" Surprise
Here’s a funny story: the first week I connected my hearing aids to my cell phone, I walked to a different part of my office building. Suddenly, I heard a voice say, “General.” I looked around, thinking I was hearing things or about to get drafted into some secret mission. Turns out, it was just my hearing aids reconnecting with the ‘General’ setting on my phone. Crisis averted!
So, don’t be that friend who struggles with outdated tech. Connect your hearing aids to your cell phone and enjoy clearer calls, better music, and hassle-free navigation. You’ll wonder how you ever managed without it—and your ears will thank you!
