PRO HEARING SPONSORED CONTENT

Patient success with hearing devices depends on many factors, but perhaps the important factor is the quality of the audiologist or hearing care provider seen. Over the years, studies have shown that the time a patient spends with a provider being educated, setting realistic expectations, and getting proper programming and check ups will ultimately determine a patient’s satisfaction and success with hearing devices. While hearing aids alone have many remarkable features, capabilities, and wellness benefits, they must be adjusted and fit by a provider who thoroughly understands the technology and each patient’s specific hearing needs to achieve maximum benefit. With so much to gain from these remarkable devices, it is wise for patients to see a trusted hearing care provider such as a doctor of audiology.

Did you know that hearing aids help to exercise the brain, aid cognition, and help preserve hearing longer? There is a library of extensive research that definitively shows that aiding hearing loss has a positive effect on overall wellness and cognition, namely memory loss. Due to these discoveries in the last few years, hearing aid manufacturers have hit their stride in technological advances by integrating health features into their hearing devices. Inspired by research that shows hearing aids can help brain elasticity, support cognitive function, and preserve hearing, manufacturers such as Starkey have created hearing devices that can pick up data from one’s body through embedded sensors and communicate it to one’s iPhone and Android via Bluetooth. This includes streaming, step and heart rate tracking, brain engagement, as well as fall detection. Manufacturers, like Starkey, have partnered with hearing care providers across the nation to ensure they are well equipped to fit and support patients as they utilize these features.
