People who start using hearing aids certainly improve their hearing, but may still suffer hearing issues, such as when attending church or watching television. Missing some movie dialogue is one thing, but not hearing a smoke detector go off could cost a hearing-impaired person their life. Audiologist Brad Ingrao explains how you may be better off spending less money on hearing aids and more on certain accessories, such as media streamers, remote microphones, and special smoke alarms designed for the hearing-impaired. He describes telecoils and media streamers and explains how specialized smoke detectors, like the Lifetone, could save your life.
