Hearing loss is one of the most debilitating health conditions that impacts one in six Australians. It can affect both young and old, but some solutions can help you improve your quality of life.
Whether you have minor or severe hearing loss, Adelaide Hearing aids can help. They offer a range of hearing aids that are individually tailored to suit your lifestyle and budget.
ReSound Preza
ReSound Preza is a family of rechargeable receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids available in two technology ranges. One features lithium-ion batteries, and the other uses traditional zinc-air batteries.
The RICs also include an integrated Tinnitus Sound Generator to mask the annoying ringing or buzzing in the ears and head. They also offer a NatureSounds feature that lets you select water-inspired sounds to soothe and relax.
These Resound RICs are powered by the company’s OMNIA chip platform, which was released in 2022. OMNIA is designed to improve speech understanding in background noise. Several other features also make these RICs an excellent choice for hearing loss patients. For example, they have a variety of microphone options, including a 4-microphone beamformer.
They also use Resound’s Smart 3D app to adjust sound, volume, and balance settings, manage tinnitus settings, and enable remote adjustments by your provider. It’s an easy way to maximise your hearing aid experience.
Widex PureSound
Widex PureSound is a breakthrough in digital signal processing that promises to overcome many hearing aid users’ objections that hearing aids sound tinny and unnatural. The technology is incorporated into Widex’s latest WIDEX MOMENT hearing aids, which feature two distinct signal pathways – a “classic” pathway and a new ZeroDelay Accelerator pathway that dramatically changes how hearing aids sound.
The first pathway in Widex PureSound-based hearing aids focuses on core functions like acoustics stability, adaptive gain control and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. It also offers TruAcoustics, a feature developed from years of analytics and hundreds of tests that helps ensure precise gain calculations for all hearing losses, delivering the most personalised fitting possible.
Compared to other hearing aids, hearing aid wearers are significantly better at discriminating room locations and are more satisfied with the naturalness of their voice when wearing PureSound-based Adelaide hearing aids. This is especially true in noisy environments, where the ability to localise sounds makes a difference to the listening experience.
Phonak Lumity
Phonak Lumity is a brand-new hearing aid range from Phonak, and it brings a range of innovative features to the Australian market. These include Phonak SmartSpeech Technology, which improves speech understanding in noisy environments and helps reduce listening effort in challenging situations.
The advanced AutoSense sound processing system fine-tunes over 200 individual sound settings to optimise your listening experience in all routine environments. Using machine learning, AutoSense OS 5.0 optimises your audio settings every 0.4 seconds to ensure they are always tailored to your domain.
Universal connectivity allows the Phonak Audeo Life to connect with iOS and Android devices, TVs, and Roger accessories. Bluetooth technology allows for hands-free phone calls and streaming music, and Tap Control lets you answer calls, pause music, and activate Siri or Google or Alexa voice assistants. The Audio Life is also the first waterproof* rechargeable hearing aid. It can be submerged in up to 1/2 a meter of fresh, pool or salt water.
Phonak SmartSpeech
Phonak SmartSpeech Technology improves speech understanding and reduces the effort you must put into listening. This frees you up to be more present in conversations and enjoy hearing the world around you.
Phonak hearing aids are designed to be adaptable and automatically change features such as dynamic noise cancellation, speech enhancement and motion sensor hearing, depending on the environment. This allows you to hear easily, even in noisy situations.
Phonak SmartSpeech also includes stereo zoom 2.0, which provides a narrow and focused beamformer to focus on a speech from the front in challenging listening environments, which has been shown to increase social interaction and engagement. This feature also helps reduce front/back confusion common with omnidirectional microphones, especially in quiet situations.
