Staying active and getting outside are major pillars of a healthy lifestyle, and Ocala is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with our beautiful parks, forests, rivers, lakes and horse trails. If you’re concerned about keeping your hearing aids safe while staying active, we’re excited to share that modern hearing aids are better equipped than ever to keep up with you. Advancements in design and cutting-edge technology ensure your hearing aids will work as hard as you do.
Better Designs
Hearing aids used to be bulky, finicky devices, but newer designs are sleek and durable. The various styles ensure the hearing aid fits seamlessly in the shape of your ear, providing maximum comfort while remaining securely in place. Our skilled audiologists can further customize the fit of your hearing aid with real-ear measurements and custom earmolds and domes, meaning you don’t have to worry about your hearing aid becoming dislodged even on the basketball court or on the hiking trail.
Additionally, the materials used for hearing aids are more durable than in previous years. Hearing aids are more dust- and water-resistant (some even have IP ratings of IP68), giving you peace of mind in wet or windy conditions, and they’re better able to withstand the rugged daily conditions of your life.
Better Sound
Your hearing aids’ number-one job is to deliver quality sound to your ears, and modern hearing aids do not compromise on this. Digital sound processing grows more advanced every year, lessening the burden of sound processing on the brain. Sophisticated sound processing can reduce the sound of wind noise and feedback before it ever reaches your speaker, so you never notice it. The use of AI learning technology in hearing aids further lends to their ability to adapt to your listening needs in the moment. Never miss your teammates’ shouts with these devices.
Better Features
When you’re on the move, you need convenience; you can’t be reaching up to your ear to fiddle with the speaker in the middle of a sport. Modern hearing aids come with a slew of smart features that make this unnecessary, plus others that can fully enhance your active lifestyle in brand-new ways. Some of these include:
- Rechargeable batteries
- Directional and omnidirectional microphones
- Smartphone apps for remote control of your hearing aids
- Fitness and health tracking
- Motion sensing technology
- Bluetooth® connectivity
- GPS features
