Hearing aids have changed dramatically over the past decade. Today’s hearing aids are smaller, smarter, and more connected than ever — including Bluetooth technology that allows users to adjust settings directly from their smartphone.
In this episode of Monday Health Minutes, Melanie Shafer speaks with Valley Health audiologist Robin Porter about the newest hearing aid technology, who might benefit from hearing aids, and how modern devices are improving quality of life for people of all ages.
They discuss how hearing aids have evolved from analog devices to advanced digital technology, common maintenance issues like wax and moisture, and why today’s hearing aids can be customized to fit each person’s lifestyle.
If you’ve been hesitant about hearing aids in the past, you may be surprised by how much they’ve improved.
