We love innovation, new technology, new features offered by a new hearing aid. And we often follow the news to find out what a new hearing aid has, and we often choose new hearing aids because of those innovations and features.
I’ve sometimes thought about what I would like to have that doesn’t exist yet. so I’m opening this thread so that everyone can write me their ideas and I hope hearing aid manufacturers are reading this.
My ideas
Widget for sound amplification or sound balance on the lockscreen (android)
because it is more convenient and faster than opening the application. let’s say I’m driving a car and my sound balance is 100% stream, I get out of the car and enter the store, and I want to continue listening to music, but I have to hear the surrounding sound. I can do this by pressing on the hearing aid, but I’ve noticed that I don’t like doing that because the hearing aids are tiny. It would be better if there was a widget that I can keep on the lockscreen background.
People want a hearing aid for sleep, I noticed that reading some of the comments. I thought that there should then be a sleep mode that will turn down the sounds a little to make sleeping more pleasant, because we don’t need the volume to be on when we are awake to sleep, let’s say the sound should be muted by 30%.
If we use a hearing aid to sleep, then it would be desirable if there was an alarm clock that we could set in the HA application, and it would wake us up with the sounds and music we choose.
when someone calls us, some of us would like the hearing aid to say who is calling us. Because we have a habit of taking out our smartphone to see who is calling us and only then answer that person. I don’t answer every call, especially not unknown ones.
It reminded me that sometimes I wishes unknown numbers had a quieter ringing sound in my hearing aid. Sometimes that sound is irritating when we are talking to someone and we don’t want to answer the call.
You go on, I just remembered that. but if there are more ideas, I’ll put them here.
