Cell Phone Accessories

Thanks to modern technology, various cell phone accessories now work seamlessly with hearing aids to offer a more personalized and fluid experience. Bluetooth technology allows for multiple ways to connect your hearing aids to your cell phone, enhancing convenience and ease of use.

​

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth technology enables your hearing aids to wirelessly connect to a variety of devices, including your cell phone. By pairing your hearing aids with nearby electronics, you can easily adjust volume and other settings directly through your devices, providing a customized hearing experience.

Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) Cell Phone Accessories

HAC cell phone accessories are especially helpful for hearing aid users. These accessories create distance between your hearing aids and your phone, reducing buzzing, feedback, and interference. Some HAC accessories also offer hands-free options, making them particularly useful when using your phone while driving. Additionally, certain devices allow you to use the speakerphone feature by activating the microphone mode on your hearing aids.

All major cell phone manufacturers are now required to offer HAC-compatible phones for hearing aid users, and many also provide accessories designed for optimal compatibility.

Ensuring Compatibility

Before purchasing any hearing aid accessories, it’s a good idea to check with your cell phone provider to ensure that your phone’s operating system is compatible with your hearing aids. Additionally, consult your hearing care provider to confirm that Bluetooth functionality is supported with your specific phone model. Testing the phone and accessory together will help you determine how well they work for your needs.

Finally, keep in mind that some devices may perform differently once you leave the store, so it's wise to inquire about any satisfaction guarantees or return policies.
