While Apple has successfully integrated its devices into many aspects of contemporary life, the company’s latest release is sure to have hearing aid users thinking differently: an integration with new hearing aids specially designed for Apple’s iOS mobile systems.
“Getting hearing aids properly fit and matched to somebody’s hearing loss is one challenge, but getting people to use the devices effectively in their day-to-day life is another major hurdle in truly improving someone’s hearing,” says Dr. Dana Luzon of Audiology and Hearing Aids of the Palm Beaches. “This connection with the communication devices people are already using creates a great, seamless experience for hearing aid wearers — one that stands to truly improve people’s ease of communication with their loved ones, their relationships, and their overall quality of life.”
The new AGXSP Made for iPhone Hearing Aids createsthis new experience through an interactive app that gives users access to custom hearing settings for more than a dozen different environments, taking wireless hearing device technology to a whole new level. Users can adjust volume, treble, and bass for specific locations through a feature called SoundSpace, and then save them as memory settings without an additional Bluetooth adaptor. The iPhone’s GPS system will know when you’ve returned to those locations, and your hearing aids will automatically adjust back to the saved setting for that specific location.
The Made for iPhone Hearing Aids also connect seamlessly to other Apple mobile devices, like the iPad®, leading people to report vastly improved experiences with popular communication applications like FaceTime®
and Skype®, where the conversation is delivered loud and clear directly
to the user’s ears.
“Making better hearing work for people in more situations is critical to bringing about the type of lifestyle improvements we strive for as audiologists,” says Dr. Luzon. “This relatively simple connection to Apple’s mobile devices creates a whole new way to use the advanced sound processing already built into the AGX hearing aids that have benefited so many of our patients. I can’t wait to start seeing how our patients make the most of this new, exciting technology. ” Call the office today to schedule your complimentary demonstration of the AGXSP Made for iPhone Hearing Aids at (561) 627-3552.
