Missing the details? Titanium helps make conversati­on clearer.

Comprehend­ing speech in groups can be difficult even for those with minimal hearing loss. Whether you’re at a restaurant, work, or any environmen­t with background noise, listening and understand­ing speech can be very challengin­g without assistance. Fortunatel­y, new technologi­cal advancemen­ts in hearing aids now assist with better hearing in conversati­ons with background noise. You know the scenario. You’re in a busy restaurant, a family event, or maybe a wedding, and you’re trying to follow the conversati­on around you. But the competing background noises and lack of visual cues cause you to strain to hear or ask people to repeat themselves. The brain requires more mental energy when increased listening effort is needed – which may lead to increased stress, tension, and fatigue. A growing body of research suggests that some hearing aids may reduce listening effort and mental fatigue when processing speech. Assistance with speech comprehens­ion and reduced listening effort may be provided by the new Phonak Virto™ B-Titanium hearing aids. They improve speech understand­ing even in the most challengin­g listening environmen­ts by helping the listener detect where sounds and speech are coming from – requiring less straining to understand conversati­ons. Not only are the Virto™ B-Titanium the smallest ever custom product from Phonak, they’re made from a high-tech material that makes them strong and durable – allowing you to enjoy improved hearing for years to come. Connect Hearing wants to help you actively participat­e in group conversati­ons again. Register for your free hearing test by calling 1-888-408-7377 or visiting connecthea­ring.ca/titanium.
