Bluetooth and hearing aids can feel like a bit of minefield. The first Bluetooth hearing aid released to the global market in 2013 was by GN Resound. This was utilising Bluetooth low energy protocol in partnership with iPhone, therefore the hearing aids were only able to work with an iPhone.
We fast forward to 2022 and every major hearing manufacture has released multiple family's of hearing aids with Bluetooth capabilities.
Sonova, global leading manufacture of Phonak, Advance Bionics and Unitron released the first bluetooth A2DP in 2018 with it's product range of Marvel with the Phonak brand. This was a huge step in the industry as this means users of the hearing devices can pair this with an Android and or iPhone. Not only this, as A2DP utilises a much larger bandwidth of information, it provides users with a better quality for streaming. Also the introduction of wireless phone calls, making it easier for users to hear on the phone with even more convivence by just tapping a button on the hearing aid which then starts the call, and it can stay in the pocket, while the user can talk freely via the hearing aids, yes the microphones on the hearing aids pick up the users voice, incredible.
