TruLink Connects Your Hearing Aids With Your iPhone
|
Phone Calls
Enjoy carefree communication and great sound quality when you use your iPhone for calls. Answer calls with the touch of a finger, then hear the entire conversation streamed directly into your Made for iPhone Hearing Aid via Bluetooth technology. |
|
SoundSpace
Easily adjust sound settings to specific environments using the feature called SoundSpace. By simply moving your finger on the screen, you can adjust sound quality then save it as a TruLink Memory. This means that no matter the environment, you can enjoy hearing just the way you like it. |
|
TruLink Memories
Using the SoundSpace feature, you can easily create up to 20 TruLink Memories. It's easy to personalize a sound setting to any environment, then save it as a TruLink Memory. What's even more interesting is that you "geotag" that specific memory if you want. A "geotag" adjusts your sound settings to a very specific location. It uses the built-in GPS on your iPhone to know where you are then automatically adjusts your hearing aid to that tagged location. For example, "Coffee Shop" memory automatically activates as soon as you walk in the coffee shop. |
|
Remote Control
With TruLink, you can easily change volume and switch memories on your Made for iPhone Hearing Aids. And because both volume and memories are adjusted using a visual indicator bar, you have better control and nearly infinite levels to suit your sound preferences precisely. |
|
Audio Streaming
Every experience is enhanced with Made for iPhone Hearing Aids. You will enjoy pristine audio streaming of music, videos, FaceTime®, Siri® or any media played through your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or iPod touch - for a sound that's impressive and an experience that's more immersive and personalized than ever before. Halo 2 Made for iPhone hearing aids process speech and music independently from one another to better the acoustics of listening to music and other sound. |
|
Live Microphone
Live Microphone lets you record, play back and even email audio as it happens. You can listen to it later or simply save it to enjoy a special moment over and over again. This feature also allows you to use your iPhone as a microphone to enjoy group conversations. Simply set your iPhone nearby, turn on the feature and conversations are streamed directly to your hearing aids. |
|
Find My Hearing Aids
Easily find lost hearing aids using the Find My Hearing Aids feature, showing both a location and a time stamp. A signal detector sends a stronger or weaker signal based on how close you are to locating your hearing aids. |
|
Beacons
TruLink™ beacons are small, low-energy Bluetooth® devices that broadcast a unique identifier your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or iPod touch and TruLink app can recognize and use to automatically change memories in the hearing aid. Beacons can be placed in any location where you want an automatic memory change. When the Apple device enters the region for the TruLink beacon, it will inform the TruLink app that a beacon has been detected. The TruLink app will change to the memory assigned to that beacon. When the device leaves the region, it will alert the TruLink app to revert the hearing aids back to the previous memory in use. |
