What are Lifestyle Hearing Devices and Who Are They Right For?

With an estimated 18 million people having an untreated hearing loss in the US, there have been many brands/companies that have attempted to deliver a solution with the belief that the biggest stumbling block that prevents many people from receiving help is cost.
Some have succeeded, and many have failed.
But with over-the-counter hearing aids recently being given the green light, it has resulted in some large reputable consumer brands entering the market to create their solution.
• Bose entered with their SoundControl device.
• Jabra launched their Enhance Plus.
• And there’s talk of Google and Apple creating a device.
It’s a very interesting time in the world of hearing care and is a positive step in the right direction to help more people address their hearing challenges.

One of the labels for these type of devices is “Lifestyle Hearing Devices”

The reason that they’re called “Lifestyle Hearing Devices” is because these aids are very different from the prescription medical-grade hearing technology that hearing clinics like us have used in the past to help patients to achieve better hearing.

Unlike traditional hearing aids that deliver a tailored solution that only focuses on the tones that your hearing loss is preventing you from hearing, these new lifestyle devices simply offer amplification of all sounds.

They turn the volume up.

That’s why they are being recommended to people with a mild hearing loss that requires a small helping hand to hear better in certain environments (to fit around their lifestyle).

A great comparison should be to “cheater” eyeglasses.

If you need a little help when reading the newspaper, then you can pop cheaters on – but if you needed more help, you would need to have your eyes professionally tested and a custom solution created based on your exact needs.
