Best Hearing Aids of 2017 for Smartphone Lovers

iPhone – Signia Pure Nx

Hearing aids made specifically compatible for iPhones have been on the market for quite some time, but this great new addition from 2017 is worth discussing.

Better late than never, Signia unveiled their first truly Made for iPhone hearing aids in May of this year, the Signia Pure 13 Nx. Since then, Signia released two more hearing aids in this line, the Pure 312 Nx and the Motion 13 Nx. This line boasts a lot of industry firsts, which is why it made this list.

Amongst many other cool features, the Pure 312 Nx boasts Own Voice Processing (OVP) making the wearer's own voice sound as natural as possible. It does this by processing the wearer's own voice independently from other voices or sounds around them. The Pure Nx also has improved directional microphones, meaning wearers can amplify voices by focusing on them.

On top of all the great features, the Signia Pure Nx line also has a 68 IP rating, making it resistant to moisture and dust and a great choice for those with active lifestyles.

Android or Simple Phones – Phonak Audeo B-Direct

Believe it or not, the most popular smartphone in the world is actually Android. In fact, 4 out of 5 smartphones in the world are Androids.

The Audeo B-Direct makes truly hands free calling a reality with direct streaming without any extra technology. The ringing of the phone is heard directly in the hearing aids and wearers can accept the call and begin the conversation immediately, without even picking up the phone. These hearing aids also double as wireless TV headphones and are also packed with all the other awesome features you would expect from a Phonak hearing aid.

Best Rechargeable Hearing Aid of 2017

Unitron Stride MR and Moxi Fit R

Unitron released their rechargeable options, that still uses their groundbreaking Intelligent SoundCore Technology. The SoundCore Technology was created to focus on conversations by surveying the wearer's environment quickly and making fluid and automatic adjustments to ensure the listener is able to actively participate in all conversations.

The Moxi line includes two of the smallest Receiver in Canal (RIC) hearing aids available. The Moxi Fit is the smallest rechargeable hearing aid on the market. These hearing aids are good to go for a full 24 hours after only a 5-7 hour charge. Forgot to charge overnight? No worries. At any time wearers can conveniently swap rechargeable batteries for disposable ones, ensuring hearing aids are never dead at inconvenient times.
