How to Use Your Hearing Aids During Conference Calls

by | Oct 31, 2024 | Hearing Aids

There are more and more hardworking professionals in need of hearing care these days; you’d be surprised by how many people in the workforce come to see us to get hearing aids to help them at their jobs, whether they’re working in offices or at home. 

It’s crucial to ensure that you can hear properly so that you can stay productive and attentive at your job. With so many remote calls to attend these days, your hearing aids could prove to be your secret weapon! 

How Can I Connect My Hearing Aids to My Computer? 

Imagine wowing your coworkers with quick replies to questions on calls or keeping up with work banter with ease during social events. With your hearing aids, this professional fantasy can become a reality – and it’s remarkably easy to do so. 

Most advanced hearing aid technology these days comes with Bluetooth compatibility, so to connect your devices to your computer or smartphone/tablet, simply open the Bluetooth menu on your computer and follow your hearing aids’ Bluetooth instructions. These are different for every model and manufacturer. If you’re struggling to connect, please feel free to reach out to us for help! 

Older hearing aid models without Bluetooth compatibility come with a cable, similar to wired headphones, that allow you to connect manually. However, this is fairly old tech – it might be time for an upgrade. 

Once your devices are connected, your computer or smartphone/tablet will remember your hearing aids for future calls, video streaming, and more in the list of approved devices to connect to. That way, you’ll get connected and stay connected next time you need to make a quick work call or get called into a last-minute meeting. 

How Can My Hearing Aids Help Me at Work? 

Hearing aids provide massive benefits to both your personal and professional life. From staying safe during your commute to work to staying connected during meetings, no missing out on conversations, and higher productivity levels, hearing aids help you get the most out of your working life and delay retirement, should you so choose. 

Outside of work, you can be better involved in conversations with friends and loved ones, stay steady on your feet, and improve your memory; hearing aids can even help you live longer! 

Of course, better hearing doesn’t start with getting hearing aids. The help of a professional hearing care team and the support of professional audiologists are what help you see those tangible benefits to your work and home lives. 

Work smarter and harder with the help of hearing care.
