Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids let users stream signals from these and other electronic devices directly to their aids, improving their versatility and convenience. You can make phone calls, listen to music and watch television through your hearing aids, without disturbing other people around you.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"overview-section overview-even overview-hearing-aids overview-hearing-aid-manufacturers\">\r\n<div class=\"overview-image\">\r\n<div class=\"translucent-box-top\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"overview-image-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"hearing-aid-manufacturers\" src=\"https:\/\/hearingsystemsinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/hearing-aid-mfrs-img-sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"contain overview-content\">\r\n<h2>Hearing Aid Manufacturers<\/h2>\r\nWe offer a wide selection of hearing aids from the industry\u2019s top manufacturer designed for all types of hearing loss, lifestyles and budgets.<br \/><br \/>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingsystemsinc.com\/hearing-aids\/hearing-aid-manufacturer-oticon\/\">Oticon<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingsystemsinc.com\/hearing-aids\/hearing-aid-manufacturer-phonak\/\">Phonak<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingsystemsinc.com\/hearing-aids\/hearing-aid-manufacturer-resound\/\">ReSound<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingsystemsinc.com\/hearing-aids\/hearing-aid-manufacture-widex\/\">Widex<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should You Upgrade Your Hearing Aids?
