There is good news for all of my contemporaries who are starting to have hearing problems. Made for iPhone hearing aids are supposedly better than many of the traditional ones out there because they will give you more and better options to suit your specific needs.

I started to notice that more people were mumbling a few years ago. It never occurred to me that my hearing abilities were changing. I’m still not totally convinced that it’s me, but okay I will give in a little bit.

Hearing problems can occur at any age, but it is prevalent in folks 65 to 74 according to the National Institutes of Health. Approximately 36 million people report hearing difficulties.
The average hearing aid user is 69 years of age.

Hearing aids from Starkey and GN ReSound are among those designed to connect directly to iPhones. The reason why these apps are so good is because they have numerous settings that allow people to easily adjust the sound settings to the environment. They also have geotagging features integrated into the GPS for customized settings when the user returns to the same place over and over.

The app’s Live Microphone feature addresses ambient noises. The user can place the phone in front of the person opposite him/her to pick up the conversation.
