Introduction to Bluetooth Hearing Aids

Hearing aids are small electronic devices designed to help people with hearing issues reconnect with the sounds of daily life. By capturing sound from the environment, these devices amplify important noises, like speech, while working to reduce distracting background noise. This makes it easier to follow conversations, enjoy music, and stay engaged in social situations.

Modern hearing aids have come a long way from the bulky models of the past. Today’s devices are sleek, discreet, and packed with advanced technology. Many hearing aid manufacturers offer wireless connectivity. With the latest wireless technology and Bluetooth capabilities, users benefit from advanced connectivity features such as direct audio streaming and hands-free calling. This allows users to link their hearing aids with smartphones, TVs, electronic devices, and other compatible devices, including a wide range of wireless devices. Features like Bluetooth compatibility and intelligent noise reduction mean that hearing aids can adapt to different listening environments, providing clearer sound and a more natural hearing experience.

Whether you’re at home, in a busy restaurant, or out for a walk, hearing aids can make a significant difference in your ability to communicate and participate fully in life. With ongoing advancements in wireless connectivity and digital processing, hearing aids continue to improve, offering new ways to overcome challenges.

What exactly is Bluetooth Hearing Aid Technology?

Bluetooth hearing aid technology allows your hearing aids to wirelessly connect to devices like:

  • Smartphones (Apple, Android device, or other mobile phone)
  • Laptops & desktops
  • Smart TVs
  • Tablets and music players

Bluetooth hearing aids use the Bluetooth protocol to ensure reliable wireless connections with a variety of devices.

For hearing aid wearers, Bluetooth connectivity means they can wirelessly stream audio from digital devices and enjoy hands-free communication, greatly enhancing everyday convenience.

That means your hearing aids can stream sound just like wireless headphones or bluetooth headphones: phone calls, Zoom meetings, music, Netflix or even GPS directions. The best Bluetooth hearing aids can connect to almost any audio device, including MP3 players or dedicated streamers, for seamless audio streaming.

How Bluetooth Hearing Aids Work

Bluetooth hearing aids work by harnessing the power of Bluetooth technology to create a wireless bridge between your hearing aids and your favorite digital devices. When you pair your Bluetooth hearing aids with a smartphone, TV, or laptop, the devices communicate using radio waves, allowing audio to be transmitted directly into your ears. This means you can enjoy crystal-clear calls, stream music, or listen to video content without the need for extra headphones or complicated setups.

The process is simple: your hearing aids act as receivers, picking up the audio signals sent from your connected device. Whether you’re taking a call or watching a movie, the sound is delivered straight to your hearing aids, providing a personalised listening experience with improved sound quality. This direct streaming not only makes it easier to follow conversations and entertainment, but also reduces background noise and distractions.

Recent advancements, such as Bluetooth LE Audio, have taken this technology even further. LE Audio offers better sound quality, lower power consumption, and the ability to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. With features like Auracast, users can even access public audio streams in places like airports or theaters. As Bluetooth hearing aids continue to evolve, users benefit from more reliable connections, enhanced audio clarity, and a truly seamless integration into daily life.

It Just Works.

The PocketAid Diamond Stream 12 connects seamlessly to any Bluetooth enabled device, including phones (Apple and Android), Televisions, Tablets, Computers and many more.

Can Bluetooth hearing aids really enhance my quality of life?

In a word – yes. It’s not just about listening; it’s about living better.

Imagine taking a phone call without holding your device to your ear. Bluetooth hearing aids enable clear, hands-free phone conversations and allow for stress free phone calls by streaming audio directly to your hearing aids, making calls more comfortable and convenient. Picture enjoying music or podcasts on the go without bulky headphones. Or attending an online class, work meeting or family video call and hearing every word clearly, without missing a beat.

With Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, you’re no longer simply amplifying sound. You’re integrating hearing support directly into the technology you already use every day. That means less effort to keep up with conversations, clearer audio from multiple sources and more confidence in busy or noisy environments.

You can walk into your favourite café and hear the barista over the background music. Go for a walk while listening to a guided meditation streamed directly into your ears. Watch TV without needing subtitles, or the volume cranked to the maximum. Bluetooth hearing aids make streaming music, watching TV with direct TV audio, and enjoying stereo sound possible, providing a richer and more immersive listening experience.

The bottom line? We understand it’s not for everyone, but getting comfortable with Bluetooth hearing aids can help you to stay connected, stay mobile and stay in the moment. That’s not just convenient. That’s life-enhancing.

But before you commit to this technology, there are a few things you should know.

What they don’t tell you (and what you deserve to know)

The frustrating reality for many users is that not all Bluetooth hearing aids play nice with all devices. Only compatible hearing aids can connect seamlessly with both iOS and Android phones, while some models offer limited support for Android phones. In fact, many people are left confused, disappointed or downright annoyed because

‘Made for iPhone’ does not mean made for everyone

Several hearing aid brands are built only for Apple’s iOS. iPhone hearing aids are specifically designed for seamless integration with Apple devices, but may not offer the same experience for other platforms.

They either don’t work with Android or only support select Android models.

And even when they do connect, users report dropped calls, one-ear audio or no streaming at all.

The ‘App Trap’

Some hearing aid manufacturers have Bluetooth hearing aids that require multiple apps to adjust settings, stream audio or even just turn them on.

Forgetting your phone or struggling with updates often means you’re stuck at default settings.

So, why does this happen?

Bluetooth Isn’t one-size-fits-all

Standard Description Limitations
MFi (Made for iPhone) Apple’s proprietary connection method for hearing aids. Often excludes Android devices.
ASHA Google’s audio protocol for Android hearing aids. Only works with some brands & phones.
LE Audio Bluetooth LE Audio is the latest standard for bluetooth wireless connectivity, offering improved sound quality, lower latency, and energy efficiency. Integrates Auracast for public and personal audio streaming. Still being rolled out. Limited availability.

The underlying bluetooth protocol is what enables these standards to provide reliable wireless connectivity and audio streaming between hearing aids and other devices.

We listened. And we delivered.

The world of Bluetooth hearing aids can be confusing. But it doesn’t have to be. Are you ready for Bluetooth hearing aids without the hassles?

The Diamond Stream 12 delivers real simplicity, real compatibility and real peace of mind.

Did you know? Some so-called 'Bluetooth' hearing aids don’t actually stream audio

It might surprise you, but when some hearing aid brands say their devices offer Bluetooth functionality, they’re not talking about audio streaming.

In some cases, the Bluetooth only allows you to connect to an app on your phone, for setting, volume and program mode adjustments. This means you cannot use your hearing aids wirelessly to stream audio from your devices.

That’s right. No calls, no music, no podcasts – just settings control.

This can be frustrating for users who buy a hearing aid expecting it to function like modern wireless earbuds. If you can’t stream your favourite playlist or answer a phone call through your hearing aids, is it really Bluetooth in the way you imagined?

That’s why the Diamond Stream 12 is different. It delivers true Bluetooth streaming, meaning you can actually hear calls, music and video audio directly through the devices in your ears. With the Diamond Stream 12, you can stream audio directly from your smartphone, TV, or computer, and stream calls without the need for intermediary accessories. And with no app dependency required, you don’t have to worry about software compatibility or mobile brand restrictions.

So, before you buy, make sure you’re getting full-featured Bluetooth hearing aid, not just Bluetooth in name only. It's also important to check with the hearing aid manufacturer about which Bluetooth features are supported.

OTC Hearing Aids: What You Need to Know

OTC hearing aids, or over-the-counter hearing aids, are a recent innovation designed to make hearing support more accessible. Unlike traditional hearing aids, which require a prescription and fitting by a hearing care professional, OTC hearing aids can be purchased directly from stores or online. This makes them a convenient and often more affordable option for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss.

These hearing aids typically come with pre-set programs and basic customisation options, allowing users to adjust volume and select different listening modes. While OTC hearing aids can be a great entry point for those new to hearing technology, they may not offer the same level of personalization or advanced features as prescription devices. For individuals with severe hearing loss or more complex hearing needs, working with a hearing care professional is still the best way to ensure optimal results.

If you’re considering OTC hearing aids, it’s important to assess your own hearing needs and understand the limitations of these devices. While they can provide meaningful improvement for many, they aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Consulting with a hearing care professional can help you determine whether OTC hearing aids are right for you, or if a more tailored approach is needed for your hearing care.

Compared to OTC hearing aids, NHS hearing aids may offer different features or levels of Bluetooth connectivity, and some models are compatible with accessories like the Phone Clip+ for enhanced device pairing and audio streaming from smartphones or tablets.

Hearing Aid Brands: Who’s Leading the Way?

When it comes to Bluetooth hearing aids, several hearing aid manufacturers are frequently mentioned. These include brands like Oticon, Phonak, and ReSound, each offering a range of Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids.

Oticon’s Intent hearing aids, for example, are known for their Bluetooth connectivity and decent sound quality, making them a popular choice for those seeking to improve their listening experience.

Phonak’s Audéo line has Bluetooth compatibility, allowing users to connect with a variety of Bluetooth enabled devices, from smartphones to TVs.

ReSound’s hearing aids have noise reduction technology and clear speech processing, claiming users can enjoy conversations even in challenging environments.

Some of these hearing aid brands also offer wireless accessories, such as remote microphones to further enhance usability and convenience. With so many options available, it’s important to consider factors like device compatibility, sound quality, and additional features when choosing the right Bluetooth hearing aids.

What if you're tired of endless appointments, check-ups, and high costs from your local hearing care professional? That's where we come in. Provided you don't have a medical condition that requires specialist treatment, PocketAid's over-the-counter alternatives could be the perfect solution, and are available at a fraction of the cost.

What to look for in a Bluetooth Hearing Aid

If you’re shopping for Bluetooth hearing devices, ask these smart questions:

  1. Will this work with both iPhone and Android?
  2. Can I use it with my TV, laptop or tablet?
  3. Do I need a specific app? What if the app updates or crashes?
  4. Does streaming affect battery life?
  5. Will it switch back to hearing mode when I stop streaming?

To ensure you choose the right Bluetooth hearing aids, consult expert recommendations and compare the best Bluetooth hearing aids and Bluetooth compatible hearing aids to find the features and connectivity options that match your specific needs.

Additionally, compare the features of the Diamond Stream 12 with other hearing aid brands to make sure you are selecting the best option for your needs.

Meet the Diamond Stream 12: A smarter solution

Too many brands promise seamless tech but deliver frustration.

While other aid manufacturers may offer varying levels of Bluetooth integration and connectivity, the Diamond Stream 12 stands out for its advanced hearing aid features and superior performance compared to other hearing aids. While high-end options like Oticon Intent and Oticon Intent hearing aids offer niche features such as Bluetooth LE Audio, deep neural network technology, the Diamond Stream 12 provides universal compatibility and ease of use.

That’s why we developed the Diamond Stream 12, to take the guesswork out of wireless hearing aid technology.

What is Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and why does it matter?

When it comes to hearing clearly – especially in noisy environments – one of the most important concepts to understand is Signal-to-Noise Ratio, or SNR.

In simple terms, SNR is a measure of how well your hearing aids can distinguish speech (the signal you want to hear) from background sound (the noise you want to avoid).

The higher the SNR, the easier it is to understand speech. Even a small improvement – just 1 decibel – can result in a 10% increase in speech understanding.

So, in places like cafés, restaurants, supermarkets or busy waiting rooms, SNR can make the difference between following a conversation effortlessly and struggling to catch every other word.

Bluetooth hearing aids can vary significantly in how well they handle SNR. Many depend heavily on external apps or limited microphone configurations, which may not always adjust well in real time.

Advanced microphone configurations and high SNR both contribute to superior sound quality in Bluetooth hearing aids, ensuring clearer streaming of music, phone calls, and everyday conversations.

Cutting through the noise clutter

The Diamond Stream 12 combines intelligent noise reduction algorithms with dual directional microphones, so your ears focus on the person in front of you, not the chaos behind them.

One mic at the front picks up voices, and another at the back suppresses background sound. This smart configuration helps enhance the SNR in noisy places. It’s like having your own personal sound spotlight focused on the speaker.

In addition, intelligent noise reduction algorithms work behind the scenes to filter out unwanted ambient sound. And because the Diamond Stream 12 handles this processing onboard, it doesn’t rely on your phone or an app to do the heavy lifting. This results in faster adaptation and more reliable performance in everyday situations.

SNR is central to how comfortable and effective your hearing experience will be. And with the Diamond Stream 12, you get cutting-edge technology that’s built to keep the signal strong and the noise under control. These features enable users to hear conversations more clearly, even in challenging listening environments.

Daily Life with Bluetooth Hearing Aids

Bluetooth hearing aids have transformed what it means to live with hearing loss, making everyday activities more accessible and enjoyable. With wireless connectivity, users can stream audio directly from their smartphones, tablets, or TVs, turning their hearing aids into high-quality audio devices for music, podcasts, and phone conversations. This direct streaming means you can take calls hands-free, enjoy your favorite shows with enhanced sound quality, and even follow GPS directions while on the move.

Modern Bluetooth hearing aids also offer the convenience of remote control through smartphone apps, allowing users to adjust volume, switch programs, or fine-tune settings without needing to touch their hearing aids. Features like Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast are opening up new possibilities, enabling users to connect to public audio systems in places like airports, restaurants, and theaters. This means you can stream audio directly from public address systems or TVs, making it easier to stay connected and informed in any environment.

The impact on daily life is significant: Bluetooth hearing aids provide greater independence, improved communication, and a richer, more connected experience for those with hearing loss. Whether you’re catching up with friends, attending a meeting, or simply relaxing at home, Bluetooth hearing aids ensure you never miss a moment.
