STREAMING 101<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What is streaming?<\/em><\/strong> Streaming essentially involves sending audio from a sound source \u2014 for example, your smartphone, TV, stereo, or computer, depending on compatibility \u2014 to your hearing device. With streaming, your hearing instruments essentially act as wireless headphones, providing an even more personalized experience. How does streaming work with hearing aids?<\/em><\/strong> Hearing aids facilitate streaming either directly or through a clip. In direct streaming, audio is transmitted right to your devices \u2014 without an accessory. The clip method uses a wireless accessory \u2014 a streamer \u2014 that clips to your clothing or may hang around your neck. Audio is transmitted to the clip, which then sends it to your hearing aids. What makes this possible?<\/em><\/strong> Through Bluetooth technology typically embedded in both the hearing aid and the smartphone, television, or other audio source, the electronics can be wirelessly paired, allowing streaming to happen. Our caring team can explain the specific steps and help ensure you have what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
