The Best Rechargeable Hearing Aids
Just a decade ago, the idea of Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids seemed stubbornly distant. Fast forward to today, and it's hard to imagine a world where this feature isn't standard. But how did we get here?
In the beginning, hearing aids had one primary function: to amplify sound. As Bluetooth technology made its way into the scene, the experience of using hearing aids changed in profound ways. Originally, Bluetooth capabilities in hearing aids were rudimentary, requiring extra gadgets to bridge the connection with phones or other devices. This wasn't just inconvenient; it was another piece of gear to remember and charge.
Fast forward to 2014, and a leap was made with GN ReSound's launch of the world's first Made-for-iPhone hearing aids. These devices allowed direct audio streaming from Apple products and came with a companion app for customization, making the hearing aid more than just a tool for better hearing, but a multipurpose, highly adaptable device.
Now, most modern hearing aids can connect directly to any smartphone, tablet, and other Bluetooth-enabled device without any fuss. Gone are the days of fumbling with extra adapters. Simply put, the hearing aid has become more than a tool for better hearing—it's a multipurpose device.
Here’s a guide to the best Bluetooth hearing aids on the market today.
Starkey Genesis
The Genesis AI hearing aid by Starkey is making waves in the hearing industry, not just through small upgrades, but with revolutionary features. At its core is the all-new Starkey Neuro Processor, a cutting-edge piece of technology that simulates the workings of the human auditory system. Despite its small size, this processor is incredibly powerful, containing significantly more transistors and memory compared to previous versions. This advanced design also makes the device extremely energy-efficient, offering a battery life that's more than twice as long as earlier technologies.
The innovation hasn't gone unnoticed: Genesis AI recently received a silver MUSE Design Award in the Medical Device category, adding to the multiple accolades the product has earned since its launch.
Resound Omnia
The ReSound OMNIA hearing aid stands out for its advanced technology that significantly improves your ability to understand speech, even in noisy environments. This is made possible through a combination of specialized features that focus both on isolating voices and providing a well-rounded listening experience.
If you're worried about the fit of your hearing aids, the accompanying mobile app includes a user-friendly feature to help you ensure they are worn correctly. Proper fit can substantially improve sound quality.
What's more, the device offers robust Bluetooth capabilities, allowing you to easily stream calls, music, and other audio directly to your hearing aids. It's designed for all-day use with a battery that can last a full day, even with constant streaming.
