Beltone has announced the Beltone First, “Made for iPhone”hearing aids. They allow users to receive sound streamed directly from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Users can also tap into the iDevices’ features from audio controls to communication with the Siri “personal assistant.” A free Beltone HearPlus app recognizes the places an individual regularly visits and automatically applied the proper settings. The app’s “Find my Hearing Aid” locates misplaced devices.

The Beltone First utilizes 2.4GHz technology. For more info go to the Beltone web site (www.beltone.com).
