New Technology for the New Year
The Latest Trends in Hearing Help
Hear Better, Feel Better There are also now hearing devices that can function as both a hearing aid and a fitness tracker.

Falling can happen to anyone at any time, but according to the National Institute on Aging, 1 in 4 persons older than 65 falls each day in the U.S. Their medical bills can collectively rack up to more than $50 billion. Similarly, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Communicative Disorders, hearing loss also affects a predominant number of older adults. Now, some hearing aids can provide fall detection and alerts. This connects two problems for older adults into one compact and safe solution.
