Many people that wear hearing aids are wearing aids that are outdated. In 2010, openfit.com encourages consumers to upgrade their hearing aids to more modern aids. Over the past several years, there has been a revolution of hearing aids. Below are some of the many advantages of today’s hearing aids.
Size:
Bulky bte hearing aids have been replaced with miniature openfit hearing aids. Openfit aids fit on top of the ear and instead of using ear molds, transmit sound through thin tubes that go into your ear canal. Open fit aids require no ear mold. Best of all, open fit hearing aids are so comfortable and so small people often forget that they are wearing hearing aids at all!
Listening Programs:
Today’s hearing aids are equipped with multiple listening programs. Listening programs are simply different settings of the hearing aids for different listening environments. Generally, hearing aids are setup with one program for day to day listening, another program for listening in crowded situations such as restaurants and another program for music or television.
Adaptive Directional Microphones:
Adaptive Directional Microphones means that the hearing aid adjust depending on the situation. For example, as noise from the front of the hearing aid increases, adaptive microphones will focus more on the front rather than the rear.
Affordability:
One of the most exciting changes in the hearing aid industry has been the rapid decline of hearing aid prices. Openfit.com has been a leader in bringing hearing aid prices down to an affordable level. We sell top of the line hearing aids for less that $1000 each. Elsewhere, these same aids are more than $3000. Additionally, all of our aids can be adjusted on your computer.
