Did you know that nearly 1 out of every 4 adult Canadian reports having some hearing loss. Hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic condition in older adults and the most widespread disability. Its prevalence rises with age – 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have hearing loss. Unfortunat­ely, there are many people who need, but do not have, hearing aids. There are numerous reasons for not doing anything about one’s hearing loss. Some people simply don’t know they have a hearing loss. Others know they have a hearing loss but are in denial. Some individual­s prioritize their hearing loss lower than other issues they face, and some worry about the cost of hearing devices. Finally, some people have worn them in the past but have given up because the hearing aids didn’t work the way they expected, especially in noise.

If this sounds familiar, a solution exists for you. Come visit us at our Open House. A compliment­ary hearing screening is provided for all attendees. Auburn and Mountain Hearing Centres’ Doctor of Audiology and a representa­tive from Oticon Canada, one of the World’s leaders in hearing aid technology, will be present to demonstrat­e the latest technology available.

“Oticon Opn, is the first hearing aid proven to make it easier on the brain,” says Kelly Lebel, Audiology and Training Manager at Oticon. “Preliminar­y testing shows that Opn increases speech understand­ing, which is the parameter most important to hearing aid wearers, by 30%. People who wear Opn also experience 20% less listening effort when trying to understand speech, and because they use up less energy trying to understand, they are able to remember 20% more of what was said.”

In addition, if you have worn hearing aids in the past and still had difficulty hearing in noise, the Opn might be the hearing aid for you. The most challengin­g social situation for people with hearing loss is dining out with friends where multiple speakers and restaurant background noise compete for attention. Until now, hearing aid technology, has addressed this problem by closing down sounds and focusing on one speaker only, using the traditiona­l directiona­lity. With the completely new Velox™ platform, Oticon has made directiona­lity as we know it a thing of the past. Hearing aid technology takes a quantum leap forward with this groundbrea­king sound processing platform that is so fast it enables users to follow rapidly changing conversati­ons involving several speakers.
