Resound has introduced the Dot hearing instrument as the smallest available. It is so small, nobody else will notice you are wearing dot. It virtually disappears on the ear. dot’s unique ergonomic design also makes it lightweight and comfortable. Now with an optional power receiver, the Dot can fit a larger range of hearing loss.
While dot is amazingly small, it also offers high tech performance to meet individual needs. It features automatic programming, so it is at home in any environment and requires no manual adjustments. dot offers personalized technology, like Onboard Analyzer™ II DataLogging, to deliver better hearing in the most difficult listening situations. Plus, dot features Dual Stabilizer™ II, a feedback cancellation system which effectively diminishes any whistling. For more information check out their website at http://www.trydotbyresound.com/

Hearing aids have taken on a new look and a new name; Personal Hearing Devices (PHD). Oticon has released the new Dual PHD that combines state of the art digital technology with a award winning design. Come in to see this new groundbreaking device. For more information check out their commercial here.
Dual captures a wider range of sounds than any other traditional devices on the market - particularly in the high frequencies. Speech will sound clearer and music far richer. You’ll also have a much better idea of where you are in relation to people and objects in your environment.
With Spatial Sound you can:
- enjoy dining out in busy restaurants
- communicate clearly and with confidence at meetings
- instinctively look the right way if a car is approaching from behind
Experience Spatial Sound
It’s not about being old - it’s about being smart Dual has a smart optional accessory called the Streamer, which helps you make the most of today’s technologies. It picks up the sound from your cell phone, TV, radio, mp3 player or PC, and sends it straight into both ears. With the Oticon Streamer you can:
- watch TV at a level the whole family can enjoy
- switch from listening to music to answering a phone call
- remote control volume and programs ____________________________________________________________________________________
Oticon Epoq : Wireless from the Ground Up.
Epoq's wireless ear to ear technology allows information from both ears to be processed as one for a more natural sensation. Epoq helps you tackle four distinct challenges with its high speed broadband processing: Being able to preserve and make use of the vast variety of sounds in our daily environment. Being able to keep up a conversation in noisy environments. Being able to discriminate where sounds are coming from. Being able to use a cell phone without distortion and interference
But wait.....there's more>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Through Epoq’s companion tool called the Streamer, a compact Bluetooth® device that acts as a gateway to external sources of sound and information, you can wirelessly connect to your cell phone, personal computer, MP3 music player or other Bluetooth® enabled device in both ears. This turns Epoq into the world’s smallest cordless headset. With the Epoq Streamer, you can answer your cell phone without even touching it. The speaker’s voice is automatically streamed to both your ears so you can focus on other things, such as driving or handling paperwork.

ReSound introduces the first hearing instrument that delivers the full benefit of advanced directionality without losing peripheral awareness.
Designed for the human brain
Natural Directionality applies the findings of extensive research into the workings of the human auditory system to return wearers to a more natural way of prioritising sounds both inside and outside the directional beam. It exploits the fact that the brain has an unmatched ability to receive and instantly prioritise input from any source, by using one ear for focus while the other emphasises peripheral awareness.
Automatic, individualized amplification in 7 environments
ReSound Azure’s focus on the way sounds are perceived and prioritised has led to the development of Environmental Optimizer™. This new system delivers individual amplification in seven different listening environments – all without changing programs or requiring manual user intervention.
Miss America/Resound Azure: Enjoy a video with 2005 Miss America Deidre Downs and her new Resound Azure hearing aids. This video was posted on YouTube.com in an effort to educate Americans on the latest ReSound hearing technology. Miss Downs says ReSound Azure is helping her to hear more naturally than ever before.
