Introducing Our New Streaming OTC Hearing Aids
At Soundwave Hearing, we are proud to announce the launch of our latest innovation in hearing technology: the Sontro Self-Fitting, OTC Hearing Aids Model AI-S, with Bluetooth® Streaming from Soundwave Hearing.

What is audio streaming for hearing aids?
Audio streaming involves sending data, such as phone calls or podcasts, directly from a paired smartphone or tablet to your hearing aids via Bluetooth®, resulting in clearer and more natural sound.
What are the benefits of streaming for OTC Hearing Aids?
Streaming capability in Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aids offers several desirable benefits that enhance the user experience and overall functionality of the devices.
Enhanced Connectivity: Streaming functionality enables seamless connectivity between the hearing aids and various audio sources such as smartphones, tablets, and computers. This connectivity allows users to directly stream phone calls, music, podcasts, audiobooks, and other media content directly to their hearing aids, improving accessibility and enjoyment of audio content.
Improved Communication: By streaming phone calls directly to the hearing aids, users can enjoy clearer and more intelligible conversations, even in noisy environments. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with hearing loss, as it minimizes background noise and ensures that they can hear and understand conversations more effectively.
Convenience and Accessibility: Streaming technology provides users with greater convenience and accessibility to audio content. Instead of relying on external speakers or headphones, users can listen to audio content directly through their hearing aids, eliminating the need for additional accessories and simplifying their listening experience.
Personalized Sound Experience: Streaming capabilities allow users to customize their sound experience according to their preferences. Many hearing aids offer companion apps that enable users to adjust volume levels, change audio settings, and fine-tune sound quality in real-time, providing a personalized listening experience tailored to individual needs and preferences. The otoTune app is the companion app for Sontro Self-fitting OTC Hearing Aids.
Social Engagement: By enabling users to participate more fully in conversations, and enjoy other forms of audio entertainment, streaming technology promotes social engagement and reduces feelings of isolation or exclusion often associated with hearing loss. This feature encourages users to remain active and engaged in social activities, leading to improved overall well-being and quality of life.
