They can recognise your favourite restaurant Modern digital hearing aids
are self-learning. That means they get to know your preferred settings
for places you go to and adjust automatically.

They know when you‘re having a one-to-one conversation Our hearing aids
don‘t just turn up the volume, they identify the sounds you want to hear
and filter out the ones you don‘t. So even in a noisy room, you can hear
the person you‘re talking to clearly above the background chatter.

They can help you watch TV Special technology can send the sound from
your TV or stereo direct to your hearing aids. So you can easily hear
your favourite programmes or listen to music without disturbing others.

So clever, they can answer your phone for you With a discreet remote
control in your pocket or handbag, you can answer your mobile phone at
the click of a button. You‘ll enjoy clear conversations as you listen to
the call through your hearing aids.

They even listen to each other At Specsavers we give you two hearing
aids for the price of one, programmed to work together. So when the
settings in one hearing aid change, the other responds to give you
perfectly balanced, all-round hearing.

Is all if this true or is it marketing hype?

Had a 'works' reunion the other day, and as is to be expected several had
hearing aids. One such was the old HOD. Who was a superb sound mixer in
his day - responsible for Rock Follies and many similar. Not short of a
few bob, he ended up with NHS units. One for each ear. And fitted them
with windgags from personal mics, to stop the wind noise when cycling, as
he had done to this meeting. Looked like he had a couple of small mice
behind his ears. ;-) But was very please how they worked - and preferred
that over looks as many at over 80 might agree.
