Phonak to Introduce Hearing Aid That Connects to Any Cell Phones and TV

Phonak (http://ift.tt/1TpqSBL) is set to release its new Bluetooth hearing aid Audéo B-Direct, which connects directly to any Bluetooth-enabled cell phones, including Androids, iPhones, and classic cell phones, offering users true hands-free calling and excellent TV sound quality when used with the TV Connector, another new product. Audéo B-Direct users can answer or reject a phone call by pressing the push button on the hearing aid. They will hear the ringing of the phone directly through the hearing aid, and once the call is accepted, the conversation is instantly streamed. All this is done without the hearing aid wearer ever having to physically touch his or her phone. When used in conjunction with the TV Connector, the Audéo B-Direct hearing aid can function as wireless TV headphones. The TV Connector is capable of connecting to multiple Audéo B-Direct hearing aids simultaneously, ideal for watching TV together.

Both the Audéo B-Direct and the TV Connector will be available in the United States at the end of August and in Europe and other countries worldwide from September onwards.​
