There is an array of wireless accessories that boost hearing aid performance with minimal effort. Many new hearing aids have the capability to connect wirelessly to a smartphone, so the wearer can use their mobile device as a remote and even stream calls directly to their hearing aids!

Phonak are also industry leaders in the use of remote microphones. Remote microphones allow a sound to be transmitted to the hearing aid user using a Bluetooth signal. This allows the listener to hear sounds from some distance, as if they are right next to them. This dramatically improves hearing in noisy environments like cafes and restaurants, lecture rooms and open plan offices. Phonak’s latest development is to include directional microphones, touch screens, rechargeable, pass-around microphones and a multimedia hub into their remote microphone range.
