The Sound of Progress: Exciting Advancements in Hearing Aid Technology

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of progress! Hearing aid technology is advancing faster than ever before. Whether it’s improvements to sound quality, more user-friendly connectivity, or a sleeker, more cosmetically appealing design, we’re always excited to check out what’s new in the world of hearing aid technology!

At Premiere Speech and Hearing, we know that selecting the right hearing aid involves considering several important variables: your lifestyle, listening needs, finances, and more. We will go through some new products and upgrades that are currently available.

Oticon Intent

Have you heard of Oticon Intent? This new product from medical device company Oticon features new BrainHearing technology that aims to support the brain’s natural way of processing sound. What makes these hearing aids special is their ability to track head and body movement, conversation activity and the acoustic environment.

This groundbreaking 4D Sensor technology seamlessly adapts to changing listening needs to deliver personalized support. In addition to increasing your hearing aid confidence, Oticon Intent wants to help keep your mind focused, alert, and engaged with what matters most.

Phonak Audeo Lumity

Next up on our hearing aid innovation list is the Phonak Audeo Lumity. This hearing device is the second generation model of the world’s FIRST waterproof rechargeable hearing aid. This option is ideal for those with an active lifestyle – people who put their hearing aids to the test!

Most hearing aids on the market come with an IP “water-resistant” rating. However, the Phonak Audeo Lumity can be submerged in up to 50cm (or 1.64 feet) of fresh, salt or pool water. No more worrying about rain showers, pool parties, or beach days – this waterproof technology can keep you connected to the sounds you love, wherever life takes you!

Signia Pure Charge&Go IX

One of the standout features of these hearing aids is their advanced rechargeability, eliminating the hassle of frequently changing batteries. With a robust lithium-ion battery, users can enjoy an all-day hearing experience on a single charge, and the device supports quick charging for busy lifestyles.

The Pure Charge&Go IX also introduces cutting-edge audiological advancements, such as the enhanced Own Voice Processing (OVP) technology. This feature provides a more natural sound quality by reducing the occlusion effect and ensuring that users hear their own voice clearly and comfortably. The hearing aids are also equipped with Acoustic Motion Sensors, which adapt to the wearer’s movements and changing environments.

Resound Auracast

Bluetooth is a convenient hearing aid component, but it can drain the battery quickly. Fortunately, the new Auracast Bluetooth technology from Resound solves this problem! Auracast is a new low-energy solution that allows you to stream from personal and public spaces, including airports, buses, theaters, audio guides at museums, stadiums, TV and more!

If you’re looking for a great option, check out the Resound Nexia. This model was made for Auracast and offers clear sound and the lowest battery consumption for all-day streaming. Plus, it’s smaller than ever. This new technology will enhance how you engage with others and the world around you.

It’s not uncommon for patients to develop a hearing aid brand preference, but occasionally we’ll have someone come in and say they are curious about another brand. Sometimes, we’ll even have them “test drive” two different brands and they’ll immediately have a preference between the two. Trying new things is the best way to know what will work for you in your everyday life.
