  • Hearing loss can affect relationships, performance in school or in the work force, and emotional self-esteem. Hearing aids are popular items to help with this disorder and remote controls have been developed to allow users to easily switch the volume of their hearing aid.

    Discrete

    By using a remote control, you won't have to reach up to your ear to adjust it. New users who are not familiar with this piece of equipment will be pardoned of having to take off the hearing aid to adjust it.

    Long Life Span

    The hearing aids that are teamed with remote controls tend to have a longer life span than those that use conventional means of adjusting.

    Convenience

    When switching environments frequently, such as at school or work, you can very quickly change the volume with the click of a button. For those visually impaired and unable to take off the hearing aid to adjust it that way, a remote control makes for a great alternative.

    Reduced Mobility

    If you have reduced mobility in your arms, due to arthritis or stroke , a remote control allows you to adjust your hearing aid without much movement.

    Size

    A remote control is very small and can be clipped on a belt or slipped in a pocket, making them easily transportable.
