In short, Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology that uses radio waves to securely transmit data between electronic devices. Many modern technologies employ Bluetooth technology, including:

What are Bluetooth hearing aids?
Bluetooth hearing aids are a technological advancement that lets those with wireless hearing aids eliminate the need for a secondary device to capture sound. Thanks to Bluetooth, your hearing device can connect directly to a smartphone. No more switching between devices—now you can do everything right from your hearing aids.
Benefits of Bluetooth hearing aids
The benefits of having Bluetooth in your hearing aids is clear: you can connect to your smartphone for easy streaming at the push of a button. With select models, including the Beltone Achieve, this functionality is further enhanced by the ability to take phone calls hands-free.
Bluetooth technology helps to eliminate normal annoyances found with traditional hearing aids, such as:
