Bluetooth Hearing Aids - Bringing 21st Century Communication To The Hearing Impaired
By David Faulkner
When Bluetooth technology was introduced, it changed the Information Age for good. Thanks to Bluetooth technology, information that once had to flow over vast networks of wires to get to its destination can now get there wire-free. Bluetooth is as close to magic as scientifically based technology is allowed to be.
And the smallest Bluetooth device currently available, the Bluetooth Ear Level Instrument, has been designed to transform traditional behind the ear hearing aids into Bluetooth hearing aids, so that the hearing impaired can enjoy crystal clear mobile phone transmissions. The Bluetooth hearing aids also allow their users wireless access to MP3s, computers, and High Definition Televisions, so that they can have their hands free to perform other tasks while they are using those items.
How Bluetooth Hearing Aids Work
The ELI fastens to the direct audio input connection on behind the ear hearing aids, and with its microphone transmitter and receiver “converses’ wirelessly with the BTEs, turning them into Bluetooth hearing aids capable of communicating with any Bluetooth- enabled device.
The Bluetooth hearing aids are very simple to operate; they have one button with which users can either connect to or reject incoming calls, without having to touch their cell phones. The digital technology incorporated in the ELI enabled Bluetooth hearing aids means their audio transmissions occur with none of the buzzing and distortion which often affects cell phone-to-hearing aid reception. Bluetooth hearing aid reception has a “right in the room” quality.
Bluetooth Hearing Aid Modules
The latest advance in ELI Technology allows cell phones to ring directly in the Bluetooth hearing aids, through a module through which the call is channeled. The hearing aid wearer just hits a button on the module to answer and can hang up the same way. The module can also sense when the person on the other end hangs up and disconnect.
Even hearing aids without direct audio input can utilize the module Bluetooth Hearing aid technology by means of a neck loop which connects to the hearing aid’s telecoil. The Modules can transmit effectively from as far away as 33 feet.
ELIs and ELI modules run off their own rechargeable battery systems and do not utilize any energy from the BTE hearing aids. The ELI module uses lithium battery which offers two and one-half hours of active talk time and completely recharges in one and one-half hours. A fully charged battery can remain on standby for up to 140 hours before a new charge is required.
ELIs and ELI modules, by transforming BTE hearing aids into Bluetooth hearing aids, have brought 21st century wireless technology to the hearing impaired!
