While hearing aids help, holding your cell phone up to your ear when you are wearing them can cause unpleasant feedback. Streaming calls directly into your hearing aids lets you enjoy better sound quality and helps you tune out unwanted background noise. This makes taking calls from anywhere that much easier, whether at the office or while enjoying a cup of coffee at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fellowscafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fellows Caf\u00e9<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Music, movies and other media. <\/strong>Whether you feel like listening to your favorite tunes or want to catch up on a new podcast, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a clear listening experience designed to match your specific hearing needs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easier To Adjust Your Hearing Aid Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you pair your hearing aids with your smartphone, you\u2019ll also download an app from your hearing aid manufacturer. This app lets you make adjustments from your phone.
