Wireless connectivity allows the hearing aid user to do more with their hearing aids and to wirelessly connect to the world around them. Do you have difficulty hearing on the phone? Wireless connectivity allows you to connect to your cell phone or landline phone in both ears and improve what you want to hear right through your hearing aids. Do you have difficulty hearing the television? Wireless connectivity allows you to connect directly to the TV through your hearing aids and improve your enjoyment of your favorite programs. Do you have difficulty hearing in noisy environments? Wireless connectivity allows you to improve the signal that you want to hear over the noise for greater clarity.

Whatever the need, Western Colorado Hearing & Balance has a wide variety of wireless options to help. At Western Colorado Hearing & Balance, we work with all major hearing aid manufacturers to provide the greatest selection of wireless options. Here are just a few of the products that we offer and how they work to improve clarity.
