Find out why! DID YOU KNOW? Did you know that it is not our ears that do the listening, but our brain? Our ears capture the sounds, but it is the brain that recognizes and interprets them. That is why it is vital to be able to hear the widest range of sounds as clearly as possible. CALL TODAY to book your (Age 55+) Hearing aids of the past attempted to help by only increasing the volume of every sound. But that's not how it's done today. Devices like Oticon Alta now use the latest breakthroughs in microprocessor design and audio signal processing technology to sharpen the focus of what you want to hear. You are better able to focus on a conversation in a wall of party noise, and shift attention from one voice to another as you choose. It becomes easier to understand and respond to a soft, high-pitched voice ­ a child or an elderly person, for example ­ because your hearing instrument works to help your brain recognize natural speech cues and keep competing noise to a minimum. This is not your grandmother's ear trumpet. Nor is it your father's large, bulky hearing aid. Instruments like Alta are programmable to precisely match your hearing pro le and work with your brain to help you hear more naturally, even in difficult hearing situations. While there are many different types and levels of powerful sound processing technologies, ve basic components are common to them all: · Microphones that pick up sound. · An ampli er that makes it louder. · A loudspeaker (receiver) that sends ampli ed sound into the ear. · An ultra-small computer chip that processes the sound to t your hearing needs. · A tiny battery that runs the sound processors. The various hearing instrument shells may or may not look alike, but it is the performance of the technology inside you are paying for.
