Best Hearing Aids for Active Lifestyles

Whether you have just been prescribed hearing aids, or you have been experiencing the benefits of amplified hearing for some time, you are fully aware of the connection between clear hearing and being connected to the world around you. Though adjusting to life of hearing loss may take some time at first, the use of hearing aids in the long-term helps us stay active in more ways than one. We remain active in our social lives with our loved ones; we are able to pursue the activities that make us happy; we remain productive in our jobs; and we are able to be independent as we move about our lives.

Here at Custom Hearing Solutions, we believe in the transformative power of the right hearing aid to meet your needs. Below you’ll find our favorite selection of hearing aids for active lifestyles.

If you’re up and at it every morning, out the door and gone all day, then you need a hearing aid battery you can rely on. For this, we recommend the Phonak Audeo B-R, an incredibly fast and reliable rechargeable hearing aid with long battery life.

Traditional hearing aids depend on zinc air batteries for charge. It’s important to always have an extra pair of batteries, in case you run out when you’re out and about. Many hearing aid wearers have experienced the inconvenience of running out of batteries, without an extra pair on hand. Rechargeable hearing aids eliminate the need for spare batteries.

Phonak’s Audeo B-R provides 24 hours of hearing on a single six-hour charge, thanks to its innovative lithium-ion battery technology. Lithium-ion batteries are found in other electronics in your life, such as your laptop or smartphone. This battery has an incredibly long life-span, which means you do not need to replace the battery for the life of your Audeo B-R hearing aids (an estimated five to seven years). In the rare event that your battery is depleted, a 30-minute quick charge provides six hours of listening.

Phonak offers a number of convenient recharging solutions. A portable power pack provides seven full charges, while a mini-pack is convenient for short trips. In addition to reliable battery power, Audeo B-R is equipped with Phonak’s best listening features, powered by the Belong Platform, proven to provide 60% improved speech recognition and a fast processing system to analyze sounds every 0.4 seconds.

For convenience and discretion, it doesn’t get much better than Signia Silk primax. While other completely-in-canal hearing aids require a wait-period for custom molds to be made of your ear canals, Signia Silk primax is designed to provide immediate access to sound.

Silk’s innovation lies in the brand-new Click Sleeves – silicone sleeves (in six sizes) that “click” into the completely-in-canal primax hearing aid. These comfortable, breathable sleeves allow for an easily fit deep into your ear canal, providing you immediate access to sound. Built on Signia’s primax platform, Silk ensures reduced listening effort throughout the day, and is designed to address different degrees of hearing loss (moderate to severe). Silk’s OneMic directionality ensures speech recognition, along with the feature SpeechMaster. EchoShield, another trademark Signia feature, ensures balanced and comfortable sound, no matter the environment. Additionally, the invisibility of Silk’s completely-in-canal design is perfect for those who require discretion.

Our phones are integral to almost every part of our lives. Most of us have gotten rid of analog alarm clocks and wake up to the sweet tones of our iPhones. Hearing technology has kept up with advanced smartphone technology, with two stand-out Made for iPhone hearing aids: the LiNX 3D from ReSound and the Halo 2 from Starkey.

Both hearing aids are designed to connect wirelessly to your iPhones, allowing you to stream phone calls, music, and other media directly to your ears. For people on the move, this hands-free access to communication is an excellent feature. Furthermore, connection to your iPhone allows you to make simple adjustments to your listening experience through easy-to-use apps. ReSound and Starkey are both leaders in the hearing industry; the difference between these two remarkable hearing aids lie in how they can best meet your unique hearing needs.
