Hi      Could someone explain  what blue tooth is please ? You will have to spell it out in lay persons language as these items have come in since I retired

How does it work with a phone and what critieria are needed to use it?

Ive been told bluetooth can help with hearing loss? How ? and with what type of phone or device ?

Thank you

Hi

I've received a very good explanation of Bluetooth from Hearing Direct s technician. For use with a hearing aid the aids must have a bluetooth capability.  Also the devices to be used with it.

It sounds obvious but when older folk are being overtaken by innovation this is something that needs to be spelt out clearly.

Thanks for your help.
