AMPLIFY YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE
Patented iPad app lets you ‘test drive’ several hearing aids within minutes
Purchasing a hearing aid can be a life-altering, yet often expensive decision. The joy of hearing sounds clearly for the first time in years or being able to effectively communicate with friends and family will bring joy and significantly increase one’s quality of life.
But this joy can be tempered — and money will be wasted — if hearing aids are not selected properly and consequently, not used. Many people buy hearing aids and end up not using them regularly. This could be for a variety of reasons: ill-fitting devices, hearing aids that don’t work properly, ones that distort the volume or quality of sound, ones that are uncomfortable to wear, or are difficult to insert and remove.
Don’t let your hearing aid end up in the sock drawer! They should amplify the quality of one’s life, and not a source of frustration.
There are many tempting deals and offers on hearing aids, but what if those hearing aids are not right for you? This is where EarScript comes in. EarScript is a patented iPad application allowing patients to compare vari- ous makes and models of hearing aids which are pre-set for each patient’s precise hearing loss. in a matter of minutes. Licensed to select hearing health care clinicians, EarScript allows significantly more participation from each patient into the selection of their hearing aids in a matter of minutes. The sound quality of each hearing aid can be appraised in a variety of listening situations, as simple or complex as those encountered in everyday life by the patient.
Buying a hearing aid can be like buying a car. Customers wouldn’t buy a car without taking a test drive, so why should they buy a hearing aid — especially when only partially subsidized by the provincial government - without taking a hearing aid “test drive”? And like purchasing a car, consumers can be confident they are getting the best hearing aid for the price point they choose, thanks to EarScript.
In Ottawa, the patented technology of EarScript is available exclusively at the two Sound Room Hearing Centres at 1800 Bank St. and 1541 Merivale Rd.
Thanks to EarScript, patients can look forward to wearing their hearing aids every day and to amplifying their quality of life, without the worry of buyer’s remorse.
