These include wireless microphones, remotes and television headsets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transmitters and receivers.<\/strong>&nbsp;These are helpful in educational situations (a teacher\u2019s words are transmitted directly into the student\u2019s ears) and for children. Transmitters and receivers work together to overcome background noise, distance and reverberation, and contribute to a better learning experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power adapters and cords.<\/strong>&nbsp;These add versatility by allowing direct input from various audio sources (FM systems, MP3 players, TVs and computers). Available with both monaural and binaural cords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assistive listening devices\/personal amplifiers.<\/strong>&nbsp;A microphone placed close to the speaker amplifies the sound that reaches your ears, giving your hearing aids a boost. Excellent for lectures, church service, theaters and television.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Earwax filters.<\/strong>&nbsp;Filters prevent earwax, a leading cause of damage to electronic components, from entering the hearing aid. This helps&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pentadocs.com\/hearing\/hearing-aids\/caring-for-your-hearing-aids\/\">prolong the life of the instrument<\/a>&nbsp;and provides you with clear, natural sound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleaning kits.<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.asha.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1044\/1059-0889%282012\/11-0019%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keeping your hearing aids clean<\/a>&nbsp;can result in a longer life for your instruments. Cleaning kits give you a leg up on keeping your device in prime working condition. They typically include a wax removal brush and pick, a tube and vent cleaner, battery door opener and battery replacement magnet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Batteries.<\/strong>&nbsp;It\u2019s wise to have extra batteries on hand in case your current ones die in the middle of an important listening situation.
