Hearing aids are expensive. Hearing aids are also incredibly important – lifesaving. Considering these two facts, it’s no surprise that people want the best out of their hearing aids. The best value. The best performance. The best hearing aid accessories available.

Enter Phonak.

Phonak is an international hearing vendor dedicated to making life easier for hearing loss sufferers everywhere.

The name is a little cheesy, but this small RIC (Receiver-In-Canal) hearing aid accommodates the latest in hearing technology, while providing a very comfortable hearing aid for its user. They are super light that you will forget that you’re even wearing it.

The Widex Passion have a program called Zen that plays random, non-repeated and infinite tones and chimes with no sudden changes in tonality or tempo. Great if you go birdwatching or hiking.

At the heart of Passion440 is the Dual Integrated Signal Processing (ISP) technology. Dual ISP doesn’t just analyse and process isolated sounds; it brings the details to life by creating a dynamic listening experience while giving you control of the preferences that suit you best.

I think the coolest feature is the SmartSpeak feature which actually uses recorded speech to inform you of various hearing aid functions, such as low battery power and program modes–SmartSpeak is available in over 20 languages.

Hearing loss is usually stereotyped as an older person’s issue or disease.

The senior citizen cupping his hand to his ear and yelling “what did you say?” to the toaster is practically a cliché. It’s understandable, in a way – hearing does degenerate as you age.

But over half of the 36 million American hearing-loss sufferers are under the age of 65.

What options does a young hearing-loss sufferer have?

The Nios Micro, the world’s most technologically advanced pediatric hearing aid. This hearing aid comes with SoundRecover (especially helpful because fellow children’s voices tend to be higher pitched),  RealEar Sound, and WhistleBlock technology.

Depending on the model, it can also come with a wide variety of other features, including Voice Zoom, for speech intelligibility, and NoiseBlock processing, which filters out background noise in a way that even healthy ears can’t.

As a bonus, it comes in 13 (!) different styles. Even a picky child can find the right one for themselves.

Hearing loss isn’t just for the old. If you think your child might be suffering from it, do not hesitate to visit an audiologist, or give us a call–we’ll be happy to answer any questions.

Attractive. Easy-to use. Functional.

Those are the hallmark qualities of Unitron hearing aids. Unitron employs purpose-driven technology to promote clearer, easier hearing. What sets Unitron apart is the range of dynamic features it offers:

• DuoLink, which assures that sound stimuli are heard in both ears
• UDirect, which assures functionality with Bluetooth devices
• Cable-Free Programming
• Noise-Reduction
• Anti-Shock

Perhaps what’s most exciting about the Unitron Passport hearing aids is the endless number of ways you can make them yours.  Smart Control allows you to adjust the parameters  to what you need. Not only that, but the addition of Self-Learning means that the aid gradually and intelligently begins to adapt to what you need without your even needing to program it.

The way it blends with a high level of functionality makes the Unitron Passport an excellent choice in hearing aids.

Hearing loss, especially in a large, busy city, can negatively affect your ability to properly react to dangerous elements.

So why are people so hesitant to get hearing aids?

A variety of reasons:

>>Hearing aids can be bulky.

>>Hearing aids can be unseemly.

>>Hearing aids can be a hassle–where’s the guarantee that when it comes to a crowded party or loud restaurant? Will these hearing aids even work properly?

Enter the Audéo SMART, the world’s smallest hearing system with full wireless functionality.

It’s a small, compact, discreet hearing aid that uses wireless functionality to ensure that you can hear properly no matter what the circumstance is. Wirelessness in hearing aids is a fairly new development that allows you to adjust your aid to the environment. You can even use them in conjunction with a wireless microphone–no more frustrated yelling over too-loud music.

The Audéo SMART is also highly customizable. It comes in 11 colors and 3 different strengths depending on your need and budget:

>>The SMART IX is a high-end CRT (canal receiver technology) hearing solution, for those that demand the best out of their hearing aids. It incorporates the latest innovations in hearing aid techonology.

>>The midrange SMART  allows flexible control with high-performance and includes SoundFlow advanced.
