Is it a hearing aid or a wellness device?
It can be both!
Well-Hearing is Well-Being
Hearing health is about more than just our ears – it can affect our social-emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being.
That is why prioritising our hearing health and treatment can impact our quality of life and connection with the world around us.
A Fitbit for the ears, but better?
Traditional hearing aids focus largely on sound amplification; on the other hand, digital wellness hearing aids focus on enhanced communication, engagement, and overall well-being – through amplification as well as advanced sound processing, sensor technology, artificial intelligence and real-time health tracking.
What features can I expect from a wellness hearing aid?
Most importantly, the latest technology in hearing aid audiology. You can also track your heart rate, steps taken and distance walked or ran, you can also establish customisable goals and keep track of it all on your hearing aids app. All wellness hearing aids provide universal Bluetooth connectivity to all your devices and most of them are now waterproof and rechargeable.
Hearing Aids as Fitness Trackers
Hearing aid technology has advanced so much, nowadays hearing aids are also universal wellness devices, not only tracking steps, but monitoring social engagement, overall activity, and actual wear time.
When hearing aids become a lifestyle choice and not just a healthcare solution, they can have a more profound effect on well-being.
To many of us, earbuds, Apple Watches or Fitbits are already lifestyle devices. For those of us who also requite hearing assistance, hearing aids that combine lifestyle functions with leading-edge sound processing, clarity, and amplification create a more holistic approach to healthcare.
