What are Hearing Aid Accessories?
Hearing aid accessories are extra devices that help make hearing aids work better. They add features that regular hearing aids don’t have.
Hearing aid accessories include:
- Remote microphones: You can wear them as a personal microphone to make one person’s voice louder, or you can place them on a table to help make all the sounds in the room clearer.
- TV streamers: TV streamers link up with your TV and send the sound straight to your hearing aids. This means you can set the volume just the way you like it. With a TV streamer, you can listen to the TV at a different volume than everyone else in the room. You can even mute the TV for others but keep listening comfortably through your hearing aids.
- Hearing aid cleaning tools: Your hearing aids need regular cleaning to work well. Use tools like brushes, wire loops, wax picks or guards, and multi-tool kits to keep them clean.
- Hearing aid batteries: Audio Help Hearing Centers offer free replacement hearing aid batteries for patients who bought their devices from us. You can pick up these batteries for free at our office. If you need us to mail the batteries to you, you can order three packs of eight batteries each. There is a $5 fee for mailing the batteries.
- Dryers and dehumidifiers: These tools are very important for making sure your hearing aids last a long time. Hearing aid dryers and dehumidifiers remove moisture from your devices, which can help prevent expensive damage to the electrical parts inside.
- Filters: You might need new wax filters for your hearing aids. At Audio Help Hearing Centers, you can buy filters for $7 per pack, and each pack has eight filters. They can be sent to you by mail for the same $5 fee as hearing aid batteries.
- Hearing aid clips: These accessories help keep your hearing aids safe by attaching them to your clothes. This way, it’s less likely that you’ll lose your hearing aids. They’re great for kids who use hearing aids and people who are very active. You can also get these safety accessories as headbands.

Assistive Listening Devices
Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) help people with hearing problems hear better. They make it easier to communicate in places where there is a lot of background noise, the sound is far away, or the acoustics are bad. ALDs come in different types to meet various hearing needs.
Here are some common types of ALDs:
- Personal Amplifiers: These are small devices that you can carry around. They make sounds louder and clearer. You can use them in noisy places or when talking one-on-one.
- FM Systems: These use radio signals to send sound from a microphone to a receiver. They are great for classrooms or big meeting rooms, helping people hear the speaker better.
- Infrared Systems: These use light waves to carry sound. They are often used in theaters and churches. The sound is sent to a receiver that the person with hearing loss wears.
- Induction Loop Systems: These use a magnetic field to send sound directly to hearing aids with a special setting called a telecoil. You can find these in many public places like airports and auditoriums.
- TV Listening Systems: These help people hear the TV without turning up the volume too high. They send the TV sound directly to a headset or hearing aid.
Using ALDs can make a big difference for people with hearing loss, helping them stay connected and enjoy conversations and events more easily.
