Modern hearing aids have been revolutionized by Bluetooth and wireless technologies. These devices are not only getting smaller and smaller, they are also becoming increasingly powerful – and more versatile!
Whether it’s a smartphone, an iPod or a tablet computer: multimedia devices that have interfaces for Bluetooth or radio adapters that can be wirelessly connected to your hearing aids.

How does bluetooth technology work?
Bluetooth enables data transmission between electronic devices over a short distance. It is primarily used to pair mobile devices such as cell phones and headsets with each other and with a computer. The distances for a transmission depend on the transmission power and the sensitivity of the receiver. They are between 10 and 100 meters. The data is usually encrypted using a PIN code so that there are no security gaps.
How do bluetooth hearing aids work?
Bluetooth hearing aids use wireless connections to talk to each other and with other devices to ensure a cable free experience. This can be, for example, connections to a smartphone that are controlled using an app. It is possible to make calls on your mobile phone without a headset or cable using just your hearing aid! Audio from these devices can be transmitted directly to the hearing aids using an accessory and an app for coupling with a television or music system. Annoying background noises are minimized and you get to enjoy music the way its creators intended. Additionally, the volume and sound can be individually controlled via the app, which can only be heard through the hearing aids in the ear and not even perceived by the other people in the room.
Make hands-free calls with Bluetooth hearing aids
To use Bluetooth transmission, you need an app that you install on your smartphone. You can use this app, for example, to take calls or activate the playback of music and other sound recordings. The radio link sends the tones directly into your hearing aid, where they are played back cleanly and clearly at the volume that is ideal for you.
This is particularly useful in an environment with a lot of noise, for example. Even when playing sports, walking or jogging, you can listen to your favorite music wirelessly via your modern hearing aid. An additional transmitter (TV adapter, phone adapter) is only required for the audio signals from televisions and landline telephones.
How reliable is bluetooth?
The connection between the hearing aid and the signal source can be interrupted if the transmitter and receiver are outside the functional Bluetooth range for several minutes. However, depending on the manufacturer, this is up to 20 meters around the audio source.
In rare cases, the Bluetooth or radio signal can face interference from other radio frequencies. However, it typically does not disconnect as a result, but may be overlaid by a slight secondary tone, comparable to the noise generated by a cell phone near the radio.
