There are hearing aid accessories available that are compatible with your phone, computer, laptop, TV and other electronic devices. This means that you can stream TV audio, music, audiobooks, and phone calls directly into your hearing aids.
Since audio can be sent directly to your ears via your hearing aids, background noise won't interfere with the sounds you want to hear. You'll get a clearer sound experience.

2. Hearing aid batteries
Once a new hearing aid battery is inserted into your hearing device, it has a lifespan of five to ten days before a replacement is needed.
The lifetime of the battery depends on the type of hearing aid you have, the size of the battery, the length of time spent streaming phone calls (and other audio), and how well you take care of your hearing devices.

4. Hearing aid domes
Your hearing care expert has carefully chosen the appropriate ear piece or dome that best fits your hearing aids in order to give you optimal sound quality.
As these domes fit into your ear canal, it is important that they are kept clean or replaced regularly (as advised by your hearing care expert).
We recommend replacing these disposable domes at least once a month (or as suggested by your hearing care expert).
