Guide to Rechargeable Hearing Aids: Features, Benefits, and Top Models

As a leading provider of hearing aids in Utah and Nevada, Advanced Hearing & Balance Specialists is committed to offering the latest technology to our clients. One technology we have seen revolutionize the hearing aid industry is rechargeable hearing aids. So let’s look at the features, benefits, and top models of rechargeable hearing aids, focusing on the latest models from Oticon, Resound, and Phonak.

Features of Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Rechargeable hearing aids have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and reliability. They leverage the power of lithium-ion batteries, the same technology found in mobile phones and other rechargeables you have plugged into the power strip on your bedside table. This technology provides a strong combination of energy and power density, letting you enjoy a full day of power for hearing aids, even when paired with power-hungry Bluetooth devices.

One of the main features of rechargeable hearing aids is their ability to last all day on a single charge. This means you can simply charge your hearing aids overnight and they will be ready for use the next day. Additionally, rechargeable hearing aids means freedom from the small, disposable batteries normally used for hearing aids, which can be fiddly to change and easy to lose.

Benefits of Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Rechargeable hearing aids offer several benefits over their disposable counterparts. 

Firstly, they are more cost-effective in the long run. While the initial cost of rechargeable hearing aids may be higher, the ongoing cost of replacing disposable batteries can add up over time.

Secondly, rechargeable hearing aids are more environmentally friendly. The carbon footprint of rechargeable batteries is significantly smaller than disposable batteries, which need to be replaced frequently.

Finally, rechargeable hearing aids offer peace of mind. There's no need to carry around spare batteries or worry about running out of power in the middle of the day. As long as you remember to charge your hearing aids each night, they will be ready for use the next day.

Top Models of Rechargeable Hearing Aids

At Advanced Hearing & Balance Specialists, we work with the top hearing aid manufacturers like Oticon, Resound, and Phonak. Let's take a look at their latest rechargeable models.

Phonak's latest flagship hearing aid, Lumity, offers new speech enhancements and directional microphone features for improved listening in background noise. It comes in a rechargeable Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) model with a push-button, and offers options for telecoil and enhanced waterproof protection.

Oticon Real

Oticon's flagship hearing aid, Real, is offered in two rechargeable models: miniRITE (receiver-in-the-ear) and miniBTE (behind-the-ear) rechargeable, all with telecoils. The rechargeable versions use the new Oticon Smartcharger and boasts a full day of battery life on a full charge.

Resound Omnia

Resound's newest flagship hearing aid, Omnia, is designed for “360 All-Around Directionality,” and features a unique technology which adds a third microphone to the aid itself for better hearing in noise.
