Is your hearing aid digital? Then you probably hate cellphone calls right. Cellphones create unwanted electronic interference witch causes the wearer of a digital hearing aid annoying feedback or buzzing sounds. Lucky for you there is a new technology out there to solve the problem.

Starkey Laboratories has done something very smart. In the simplest terms they moved the microphone of the cell phone into the actual digital hearing aides it’s self. This way you can transform your hearing aid into your actual cell phone. This eliminates all the feedback noise that digital hearing aid wearers constantly complain about.

Starkey has introduced these “cellphone hearing aids” for around $300 dollars retail. One draw back it that for this device to work the digital hearing aid must be the type that is worn behind the ear. Wondering how this crazy little devices work? Well, the Incoming calls are routed directly from the phone to the ELI and then the hearing aid. A microphone on the end of the device picks up the user’s voice and transmits it back to the phone.
