Advances in technology allow your hearing aid to have features such as speech enhancement and automatic directionality. Technology also enables small hearing aids that are more discreet.
You can choose hearing aids that have Bluetooth capability. This feature lets you use your hearing aid like a headset, so you can listen to your TV or stream phone conversations and audio from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
You can also have wireless control, using an app to adjust the volume, check the battery level, and change the programming in your hearing aid.
Don’t worry if the options sound overwhelming. Your Riesberg Institute provider explains your choices and helps you narrow down the options to a few hearing aids that best meet your needs.
At Riesberg Institute, you also have financing options for your hearing aid. For example, you may lease your hearing aid rather than purchasing it.
