Wikipedia's definition of Bluetooth is an open wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs).

I was talking with one of my patients the other day, and he mentioned he got rid of his home phone service and is just using his cell phone. He calls his kids up north quite a bit and they talk for long periods at a time. He says he doesn't like having to hold the phone for a long time because his arm gets tired. He wears behind-the-ear hearing aids so I had an idea for him. I asked him if his phone was Bluetooth compatible and it was, so I mentioned to him about trying out the Noizfree Beetle Bluetooth Headset.

 The Beetle is lightweight, small and very easy to use with the telecoil in his behind-the-ear hearing aid. He followed my advice, and it worked great. So now when he call his children he places the Noizfree silhouette behind his ear next to his hearing aid and turns on the telecoil and he can hear his children real well, his arm does not get tired, and he can even work around the house while he is talking to them. I for one am a big fan of Bluetooth. It is a great addition to the hearing healthcare industry, as more and more hearing aids are coming equipped with Bluetooth.
