About Hearing Aid Accessories

Types of Hearing Aid Acessories

Hearing aids are sophisticated pieces of technology. They have a variety of features and benefits to improve your hearing. Hearing aid accessories are devices that are meant to complement or add additional features and abilities to your hearing aids.

There are a variety of accessories that may enhance your experience with hearing aids. You can pick and choose which accessories you want depending on your preferences. Some accessories are complimentary when you purchase hearing aids. You may also choose not to get any accessories.

The accessories you choose will usually need to be the same brand as your hearing aids. This is because the accessories are designed to function specifically with the same brand. However, most hearing aid manufactures will offer a similar selection of accessories.

If you're new to hearing aids and don't know what kind of accessories you can choose, here is a quick list of the most common types:

Remote controls
TV audio streamers
Phone streamers
Bluetooth device streamers features
Cleaning and maintenace accessories
FM and telecoil decoders
Remote service link devices

Most hearing aid manufacturers make products for all of these types of accessories. However, you will find some differences in terms of functionality and style that can better suit your needs. Your hearing care professional will recommend a few accessories to you depending on your individual needs.

Assistive Listening Devices

Amplifying Sound Beyond Hearing Aids

In addition to accessories, there are also Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) that can be used without hearing aids. They often work very similar to accessories, but there are some important differences to keep in mind.

Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) resemble hearing aid accessories but function independently. Designed for specific situations, ALDs amplify overall sound, though less sophisticated than hearing aids. While not a substitute, they offer valuable assistance in various scenarios.

Amplified Phones

Amplified phones are arguably the most popular ALD you will find. They work by offering amplified sound for the ringer and phone volume, so it is easier to hear phone conversations more clearly.

TV Streamer

TV streamers work very similar to the hearing aid accessories for TVs. They do not amplify the sound, like the amplified phone ALD. They plug into a television and stream sound to headphones that you can wear.

Amplified Alert Systems

Even people with hearing aids will experience issues hearing various types of alerts if they aren't wearing their hearing aids. This can be a bigger issue when they are sleeping.
