Noise – the not so silent thief of hearing and well-being
The importance of good hearing for overall well-being is gaining increased attention. Hearing well starts with protecting the delicate sense we have, and a common culprit for damaging hearing is noise!
Phonak Roger™ – Soundwaves to the ear!
What do the New Zealand sailing team and the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra have in common? They both use Roger™ technology to deliver on accessibility and expand possibilities for those with and without hearing loss.
Knowledge is power and Naída delivers!
Audiologist David Crowhen explains how Naída M-SP delivers power to the people.
Breaking down barriers to deliver better hearing in noise at a distance
A recent field trial shows that a Roger™ receiver is faster and easier to set up in hearing aids with RogerDirect™ than previous systems requiring external receivers.
Sometimes less is more!
As a musician and an audiologist, I have learned that sometimes less is more. Measurement on an ear model shows that deeper fitting molds can increase average hearing aid output at the eardrum by up to 8 dB!
