As 2021 commences in full force with optimism for a COVID-19 endgame and global healing, emerging developments in hearing technology promise a significant impact, particularly in helping audiologists and patients cope with the new normal. From improved AI to new mask mode features to smart earbuds, innovative developments are transforming hearing care as well as patient expectations.
Boasting various ground-breaking features, today’s hearing aids are truly changing the status quo for people with hearing problems. While most medical-grade hearing aids now feature modern conveniences like smartphone controls, Bluetooth connectivity, and rechargeability (no tiny batteries needed), the device continues to advance beyond what anyone could’ve imagined. For example, AI enables the hearing aid to analyze a user’s environment, recognize sounds that come in, and automatically adjust the audio based on the wearer’s level of hearing loss and pre-selected preferences. This helps minimize the need for manual adjustments (like increasing or decreasing volume) in specific sound environments.
Furthermore, some hearing aids can connect to wireless devices, such as phones and tablets, and even smart home devices like doorbells and smoke alarms. They can also act as microphones, letting the user stream music from their phone. An additional benefit is it helps eliminate feedback and interference.
Highlighting these new developments in the hearing aids landscape, MedTech Outlook has compiled a list of leading hearing aids device providers that are at the top of their game. The enlisted organizations are changing things for the better at the convergence of several disruptive technologies.
