Yes. These hearing buds are equipped with a microphone and easily connect to your smartphone through bluetooth. This means you can listen to music, podcasts and take calls throughout the day with your Nuheara IQbuds Max. If you are taking calls in a busy location, like the street or a crowded restaurant, you can activate the background noise cancellation feature to be able to hear more easily.

These hearing buds are designed to be sweatproof and water resistant. This means you can exercise as hard as you like, even in light rain, and the Nuheara IQbuds Max will function perfectly. They are water resistant, but not waterproof, so we don’t recommend taking a shower or going swimming in your hearing buds.

The battery length will depend on how you use your hearing buds. If you are using them to stream media, like videos, music and podcasts through bluetooth, you will have five hours of continuous use. If you just use the hearing features then this is extended to eight hours. Most people mix between the two so your batteries will last differently depending on how you use them. The portable charger case will give you three additional charges, so you can charge up on the go and never be left without your hearing buds.

The Nuheara IQbuds Max are sold as a pair, so that you can enjoy full immersive sound when listening to music, or can benefit fully from the active noise cancellation features they provide. It is possible to use one bud only, but this must be the left bud, and manual adjustment will have to be done through the app rather than through the tap touch capability. For general mild to moderate hearing loss, Nuheara can help give you a more natural and clear soundscape, but if you have profound hearing loss in one ear only, it may not be the best option.
