Below are some general hearing aid features. Each hearing aid model is designed with its own set of features, so it’s important to talk about your needs with the audiologist and match the features of a hearing aid to your listening needs.
Common Hearing Aid Features
- Binaural directionality
- Focus on the sounds that are important to you without being cut off from your surroundings.
- Adaptive directionality
- Lets you zoom in on a single conversation while canceling out others.
- Ear-to-ear communication
- Your two hearing aids exchange data and work as a single system, reacting dynamically to the sounds around you.
- Feedback management
- Prevents squealing and whistling from the hearing aid.
- Wind noise reduction
- Recognizes and reduces annoying wind noise while keeping amplification for other sounds.
- Tinnitus sound generator and nature sounds
- Combines sound therapy with your hearing aid. Sound therapy provides relief from tinnitus by diverting your attention away from it.
- Phone streaming
- Streams stereo sound directly from your smartphone or tablet to your hearing aids.
