Trying to think of a great gift for a loved one who wears hearing aids (and that “loved one” can be you, too)? Wireless hearing aid accessories make a wonderful stocking stuffer—designed to bring comfort and joy into the listening experience of any recipient into the new year.
Wireless hearing aid accessories are devices that can enhance the functionality of your hearing aids so you can more easily engage with the world around you. And by “wireless," we mean you can effortlessly link them to your hearing aids using Bluetooth® connectivity.
An asset that can benefit any type of hearing loss, accessories are the perfect “co-pilot” for any environment with lots of background noise and some distance between the person or thing you are trying to hear—or a combination of the two.
So, what are we waiting for? Put on your Santa hat and join us on a walk-through of the most innovative, jolly-good wireless hearing aid accessories out there:
StarLink Edge TV Streamer

How to use it: Simply connect this accessory to your television or other electronic audio source (e.g., computer, tablet, DVD player, cable box)—built-in Bluetooth® LE Audio makes pairing easy—and by picking up the audio signal, that source will stream the sound of the entertainment straight to your hearing aids.
