CNN: Can Apple Help Make Hearing Aids Cool?

Apple and Danish company GN ReSound have teamed up to introduce a hearing aid that’s compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, reports CNN.com. The LiNX hearing aid works with the accessibility options in iOS 7, letting users control it right from their Apple device. Doctors are hoping the high-tech factor will take some of the stigma out of seeking help for hearing loss. “The association with Apple is going to make a great difference in getting people in the door in the first place,” audiologist Dr. Ken Smith says.
