Technology Solutions for Better Hearing
Hearing Professionals use technology plus their expert ability to help you hear to the best of your ability.
Completely in the Canal (CIC) design
Hearing aids are worn behind the ear, in the ear, in the canal or completely in the canal (CIC).
Although the CIC design is more discreet to wear, the small size and placement in the ear canal allows you to hear better. The natural curves and folds of the outer ear were created to direct sounds to the ear canal. Conventional instruments worn in the outer ear obstructed the sound path of important frequencies needed to understand speech. The outer ear also protects the hearing instrument from wind noise. Additionally, the CIC instrument located closer to the ear drum requires less volume thus reducing feedback noises and enables most patients to talk on the telephone.
Computer Programmable
Better hearing is a process not an event. Aural Rehabilitation and instrument adjustments require additional office visits following the
fitting of a hearing aid. Hearing instruments with programmable circuits enable fine tuning adjustments to be made in the Hearing Professional’s office vs. sending the instrument back to the manufacturing
lab.
Digital and Advanced Electrical Circuits
Conventional hearing instruments amplified sounds for a hearing loss. Today’s latest electrical circuits quickly and accurately amplify
sounds to match the hearing you have left.
