Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.    Building more tech into hearing aids.   Phonak has created the first hearing aid with a universal direct mobile phone connection.  The Audeo B Direct is small, comfortable and very versatile.    It pairs with any cell phone and with your TV through a connector hub.  It can make a huge difference. Life changing for many.  Phonak’s Dr. Christine Jones says an app lets you control how much ambient sound you hear while you are listening…

“So sometimes I want to be fully immersed in theatre quality sound.  I want to feel the effects and I want to hear the richness of music and then I can have a very full focus.  Other times, I want to sit around and chat with somebody and just kind of monitor the TV for a news story or something in the background.”

There's more info and even an online hearing test at Phonak.com.
