Telecoil will be replaced by low-energy Bluetooth within the next ten years, according to a retired professor of audiology from Gallaudet who in June spoke to our local (DC) chapter of HLAA. He advised the audience, when they would be shopping for their next pair of hearing aids, to look for ones equipped with low-energy Bluetooth-capable ones, not telecoil. Some brands are already producing them but more will come. He suggested that, while a very few buildings and offices had put in telecoil, low-energy Bluetooth will be universally adapted, in houses of worship, lecture halls, medical & lawyers’ offices, conference rooms, govt offices, libraries, etc. Telecoil is going the way of analog TVs and coal-burning furnaces. It’s a technology of a past era. This is not my opinion, I’m simply restating what he told us.
