Are you a hardworking professional who also happens to need the assistance of hearing aids for better communication at work? You’re not alone.
Many professionals like you have already become aware of the benefits of better hearing for improved collaboration and workplace productivity. Hearing aids and hearing assistive technology can also improve your ability to communicate during conference calls and online meetings.
Now that a large portion of the modern workforce is working entirely from home or in some sort of hybrid arrangement, the use of online meetings and conference calls has become an integral part of how business is conducted.
If you are among those with remote employment, you may wonder whether your hearing aids can help ensure that you don’t miss any of the important details discussed during conference calls as well as help you stay attentive and more productive at work.
A common question among the professionals we work with is how they can utilize their hearing aids during conference calls.
Not only is it possible, but it is incredibly easy!
How Can My Hearing Aids Help Me at Work?
Many professionals who use hearing aids at work can testify that they provide some huge positives, like better communication during meetings, no missed conversations, and improved productivity levels. For this reason, they are an investment into your professional life as well as your personal life.
Professional hearing care that is tailored to address your unique needs includes supporting your occupational needs, making better performance at work a breeze. That allows you to work smarter and harder so you can delay retirement and get the most out of your professional life.
Connecting Your Hearing Aids to Your Computer
One of the issues you might face during conference calls, whether you use hearing aids or not, is falling behind during conversations. So, imagine how much more insightful and timely your comments will be if you can keep up.
Just about all modern hearing aids are Bluetooth compatible. If this is the case with your hearing aids, all you have to do is connect them directly to whatever device you use during conference calls and online meetings, like your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.
Find the Bluetooth menu on your device and follow the instructions for connecting and pairing your hearing aids to your device.
If your hearing aids are not Bluetooth compatible, you may need to connect to your computer using cables, which essentially makes your aids into wired earbuds.
Fox Valley ENT can provide the needed technical support for the specific computer compatibility options available for your hearing aids.
