Life just got easier for those who wear hearing aids!

Clinical Audiologist Dr Peter O'Brien AuD MNZAS Audiology Associates

A number of manufacturers offer a range of accessories to boost hearing aid performance (where required) to assist watching TV, talking on the phone (land line and mobile) and listening to music etc.

The current options for phone connectivity for hearing aids include:

- Direct to phone connection - using the styled for iPhone hearing aids for cell phones available through Starkey, GN ReSound and Oticon. Or direct land line connection by a remote, available from Oticon, Bernafon & Sonic.

- Direct management of the hearing aid function by phone - currently available for both iPhone and android - this allows you to use your phone as a remote control.

Options are available in a number of levels of hearing aid technology. This means you may not need the most expensive hearing aid option to access phone connections.

For further information and to discuss what is best for you, contact the friendly team at Audiology Associates.

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
