Exciting New Advances Revolutionize
Hearing Aid Technology
MISSING CONNECTIONS:
THE CHALLENGES
OF HEARING LOSS
HEARING AIDS ARE
VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE
Misconceptions still exist that hearing aids
are large and make embarrassing whistling
or beeping noises. But today’s advanced
devices – like Beltone -FHFOE – are so
tiny, lightweight and comfortable, they
are barely noticeable – and people often
forget they’re wearing them.
Having a conversation in a noisy
restaurant can be a strain for anyone.
But if you are one of the 32 million
Americans with untreated hearing loss,
it may be next to impossible.
The sounds we take for granted –
talking with loved ones, watching TV,
even phone conversations – can be
difficult for anyone with hearing
loss. Plus, there is the danger of not
hearing alarms, emergency sirens or
even a doorbell ringing.
The most difficult hearing
environments for individuals
with untreated hearing loss:
AMAZING NEW TECHNOLOGY
DELIVERS NEW SOLUTIONS
1. Noisy places, like restaurants
2. On the phone
3. Watching TV with others
Plus, they have high-tech bells and
whistles like GPS tracking that
recognizes where the user is and
automatically adjusts settings –
and even helps locate a misplaced
hearing aid.
This isn’t hearing technology of the
future. It’s here right now, and it’s
called Beltone -FHFOE™, exclusively at
Beltone hearing care centers.
Beltone -FHFOE’s CrossLink
Directionality™ monitors changing
surroundings to help focus on
conversations without losing important
background sounds.
Where hearing aids once simply amplified
sounds, new features now automatically
adapt to changing listening
environments.
So, in noisy surroundings – they are able
to focus on essential sounds. The result:
conversations across the table
at crowded restaurants are easier.
)5((
IN-OFFICE
TRIAL
Ear-to-Ear Synchronization™ provides
smooth transitions when going from quiet
surroundings to noisy ones, so there’s less
need to adjust the hearing instruments.
Smart Gain Pro™ and Sound Cleaner
Pro™ automatically identify changes
in listening environments and remove
superfluous noise.
