Now they have an app for your phone you can focus the aids for where you are from automatic to restaurant. The phone can be set to only make a sound through the aids and no longer bother anyone around you. They have chargers now to place them in at night so no more hunting for batteries. I am grateful for all of this, now they only need to bring down the price of them so everyone can afford them that needs them.
That is a great gratitude thing! All the technological advances that help us when our bodies stop being as keen as once they were. My older sister plays viola in a small symphony orchestra and wears hearing aids that have to be specially adjusted as well as having her "eyes" fine-tuned with glasses that have areas that allow her to read two pages of music and share a stand with a younger player!
ReplyDeleteAmazing what they can do these days! Electronic "tuners" play havoc with some hearing aids' "smarts".
Yes, every year it seems things get tweak a little better and it amazes me how far they have come.
