How Can I Use My Hearing Aids During Conference Calls?
Sep 2, 2022
If you’re reading this, perhaps you’re a hardworking professional wondering how your hearing aids could help you work more efficiently—especially for those of us who take conference calls online.
Whether you’re in the office or working from home, the integration of your hearing aids into conference calls is not only possible but incredibly helpful.
You can maintain productivity and engagement by connecting your hearing aids to your computer or smart device during these virtual meetings, ensuring you don’t miss a beat while you’re on the clock.
How Do I Connect My Hearing Aids to My Computer?
Almost all modern hearing aids come equipped with Bluetooth capabilities, facilitating direct audio streaming from conference calls on your computer to your hearing aids. This can significantly enhance the clarity and comprehensibility of conversations, allowing for real-time participation without missing crucial details.
Simply follow your device’s connectivity instructions; while these will differ between different hearing aid models, the general premise is to open your computer’s Bluetooth menu while your hearing aids are in pairing mode. Find your devices and click connect—make sure you connect both if you wear two hearing aids!
For those whose devices do not support Bluetooth, wired connections are a practical alternative. These are rare nowadays, so if you’re dealing with a wired connection rather than Bluetooth, perhaps it’s time for a hearing aid upgrade.
How Can Hearing Aids Help Me at Work?
The use of your hearing aids in professional settings supports improved communication, mitigates the risk of missing important discussions, and fosters your active engagement, so you won’t feel lost or stressed about missing information.
Investing in custom hearing solutions tailored to meet specific auditory needs can substantially impact a professional's ability to collaborate effectively in team settings, supporting both personal career advancement and overall team productivity.
