Most people come in knowing they need help with their hearing but not knowing much about what today’s devices are actually capable of.
That’s where we spend a lot of our time at Capital Region Hearing. Bluetooth streaming, app-based controls, automatic adjustments that respond to whatever environment you walk into, these aren’t features you need a technical background to appreciate.
You just need someone to show you how they fit into your actual routine, and that’s exactly what our audiologists do.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Today’s hearing aids are created for a unique wearing experience. Many of them connect directly to your phone, tablet or TV, which means you can take calls, stream music or follow along with what you’re watching.
Our audiologists help you set up these connections to ensure your devices pair with your smartphone or tablet. This direct link provides a personalized listening environment where you can control the volume independently of others.
Automatic Adjustments
One of the most helpful features of current hearing technology is the ability to change settings on the fly without manual input. As you move from a quiet living room to a windy outdoor park, the hearing aids analyze the environment and adjust their internal programming.
This means you don’t have to fumble with small buttons or apps every time the background noise levels change. We help you select devices with sensors that recognize speech patterns and prioritize them over steady mechanical sounds.
Noise Reduction
Background noise challenges those with hearing loss, especially when focusing on one voice in a crowd. Quality noise reduction technology identifies speech frequencies and separates them from distractions like dishes or fans.
We fine-tune these settings during your appointment to ensure the balance feels right for your ears. With reducing the mental effort required to filter out noise, you can stay engaged in social settings for longer periods without feeling tired.
Cellphone Accessories
While many devices connect directly to phones, extra accessories can further improve how you interact with the world around you.
These accessories often include remote microphones for meetings or companions in cars, sending voices directly to your device. Our qualified team in Albany identifies the most helpful add-ons for your professional or social life.
