World’s best hearing aids?
Hi-tech hearing aid trials to take place in Colorado and they’re looking for locals with hearing difficulties.
Connect Hearing is partnering with Phonak, the worldleading hearing aid manufacturer, to evaluate their bold claims about the new Phonak Audéo™ Marvel hearing aids in a major national Consumer Study and product trials. In gratitude for their involvement, participants to receive a FREE $50* gift card from their choice of leading retailers.
It is estimated that around 48 million Americans are significantly affected by hearing loss. When untreated, they struggle in social situations, particularly noisier environments where it becomes tiring and difficult to engage in conversation.
Over time, this increases feelings of isolation, frustration, and leads to lower incomes1, in part due to decreased effectiveness in the workplace. It also leads to increased risk of serious health issues, including depression, decline in memory and concentration, and even early onset dementia2.
Despite these issues, just 14 percent of those who could benefit from hearing aids use them3. Many are put off by perceived limitations of hearing aids, including: ‘tinny’ sound quality, being awkward for people with dexterity issues, and not wanting a hearing aid that others can see.
According to leading audiologist, Pauline Dinnauer, from Connect Hearing, there could now be a new hearing aid that overcomes these limitations better than ever before:
“The Phonak Audéo™ Marvel is the result of years of extensive research and development, focusing on user expectations and requirements for a clear, rich sound experience… research papers released by the manufacturer indicate that’ Marvel’ achieves some remarkable results for wearers.”
Despite Marvel hearing aids being super-discreet and comfortably sit behind your ear, they are packed with the most advanced features for modern hearing aids wearers.
Marvel adjusts automatically to match every listening situation, without wearers needing to think about or tweak hearing aid settings.
Cutting-edge lithium-ion rechargeable battery technology, ensures that Marvel hearing aids charge quickly for a full day of hearing and streaming. Hasslefree with no more disposable batteries to change.
Marvel is the first ever hearing aid that seamlessly stream audio from iPhones and Android smartphones, and other Bluetooth® enabled phones, into both ears. Wearers can even take hands-free phone calls when their phone is out of reach, due to built-in microphones that pick up their voice and call answering with a simple push of a button on their hearing aids.
Phonak’s myCall-to-Text app transcribes phone conversations into text on their mobile phone. Users can read along and not miss a word, with background noise never getting in the way of communication.
Between now and the end of March 2019, Connect Hearing will be undertaking national Consumer Study and product trials to evaluate whether the Phonak AudéoTM Marvel are, in fact, the most “liked” hearing aids in the world. And they need your help!
Do you find it difficult to follow conversations in noisy environments (e.g. restaurants, large gatherings)?
Do you wear hearing aids, but want to know if another solution could make hearing easier and clearer?
If you answered “yes” to either of those questions, then you would be a perfect candidate.
