Bluetooth streaming between my hearing aids and my cell phone has been a game-changer for me in terms of using the phone for voice calls.
I used to avoid phone calls on my cell phone because I could not reliably hear well enough to have confidence that I would understand the other person. Instead, I preferred to use my amplified landline phone because I knew I would be able to hear on that phone. Of course, I was limited to making and receiving phone calls at home and couldn’t be mobile like everyone else.
Getting hearing aids that supported using Bluetooth with my cell phone was a really, huge advancement for me. I went from almost not being able to hear on a mobile phone to preferring it over my amplified phone. It’s my go-to phone now because I can hear the person I’m talking to clearly with both ears, and that works very well for me.
