When you think of fashion, hearing aids probably aren’t the only thing on your mind. However, hearing aids of today have come a long way. You may remember the hearing aids your parents or grandparents used to wear, that were cumbersome and prone to feedback. However, hearing aids today have led the way in micro processing. Not only are they tinier than ever but this has allowed for sleeker and more stylish designs. Let us explore with you what hearing aids today have to offer in the way of fashion, style, and more powerful and controlled amplification than ever before.

Amazing Features of New Hearing Aids 

Hearing aids of the past were analog meaning that they were prone to more whistling, buzzing and feedback. However, today digital hearing aids have led the way in miniaturization while providing more power and precise hearing. Everyone’s hearing loss is different, and this means that with digitalization you can program your hearing to amplify only the sounds that you need to hear while hearing the rest with your existing hearing. 

With advancements in digitalization, this also gives you the ability to interface with the other electronic devices in your life such as your TV, stereo, smartphone. Bluetooth connectivity allows you to control your hearing aids via your smartphone and stream audio from your favorite devices. In addition, it offers a slew of digital features such as background suppression and tinnitus masking that allow you to hear clearer, with less distraction to enhance your everyday conversations and listening experience as you navigate the world.

Stylish Hearing Aids

Aside from being advanced and powerful, new hearing aids are more stylish than ever before. While hearing aids were reserved in people’s minds as solely for the elderly, today the stigma of old age and hearing aids is dissolving as more and more people of all ages embrace the functionality and support that hearing aids offer for cognitive health, increased mobility, safety and emotional health. This means that there are styles being developed for people of all ages, whether you’re 15, 35, 65 and beyond!

Due to digitalization, hearing aids are also being designed with more power at smaller sizes—some so small that they fit deep in the ear canal so most people won’t even notice they are there.

Modern hearing aids are sleek, stylish, and appealing. They come in a wide selection of colors, so you can match them perfectly to your skin or hair tone. Whether you want to show them off or keep them discreet there is a style out there for your personal flare and functionality. Here are just a few:
