Bluetooth is a
short range wireless protocol that enables
digital devices to communicate and/or exchange
data with each other. So for hearing aids this
means we can now wirelessly link your hearing
aids to any digital device with an audio output
signal.
Bluetooth Hearing Aids
Bluetooth
hearing aids have now been developed
by Siemens, Phonak Unitron and Oticon.
The Phonak Exelia, Versata, Certena and Audeo
YES are all Bluetooth compatible when used in
conjunction with the iCom, and require separate
remote control (the MyPilot) for volume and
programme settings..
The Siemens Pure and Motion is combined with the
TEK dual purpose remote control for Bluetooth
and volume / programme changes. Has additional
tone control adjustments, and own branded dongle
to overcome visual lag when used in conjunction
with televisions.
The Oticon Epoq range is connected with the
'streamer' dual purpose remote control remote
control for Bluetooth connectivity.
The new Unitron
Passport works with the same accessories as
Phonak.
