Due to COVID-19, we’ve all had to rethink how we do things. Restrictions and limitations on face-to-face contact have made it necessary for the majority of individuals to receive care via video using a cell phone, tablet, or computer. The transition to virtual care has been a smooth one for Beltone because of the technology included in the Beltone HearMax App. We’ve put together a quick guide to help our customers become more familiar with this app and take advantage of its easy-to-use features, particularly Remote Care Live.
Who Benefits Most from the Beltone HearMax App?
Even without COVID’s restrictions, the Beltone HearMax App represents a convenient option for elderly or disabled individuals who struggle with transportation and mobility issues. However, it also makes things easier for active individuals or those who live in remote areas to maintain high-level technical support and fine-tuning for your Beltone hearing device 24/7.
Basic Features of the Beltone HearMax App
The Beltone HearMax app is available for smartphone users in combination with Beltone hearing aids.
