Hearing Aids For Arkansas Baby Boomer Seniors

Posted on March 26th, 2010 in Hearing Aids by admin

1 out of 2 Arkansas seniors experience a hearing loss and need hearing aids. Seniors who experience hearing loss find that it significantly impacts their lives at home and in the office, which hearing aids would greatly improve.

Says Suzanne Wyatt, executive direction of The EAR Foundation, a national nonprofit devoted to hearing loss education and prevention, “Hearing loss is a silent health issue, often overlooked and left unresolved.” She went on to say how hearing loss for seniors is compromising the quality of life for millions across the country, as well as impacting their performance and productivity on the job. Individuals, businesses and the government must become more attuned to the seriousness of hearing loss in our society and the steps they can take to help improve the situation. Finding ways to provide hearing aids for Arkansas seniors through Medicaid or other programs would be greatly beneficial.

Some studies of hearing loss made these findings:

  • Almost one-fourth (23%) of these individuals said their hearing loss is affecting their success in the workplace, while 25% said hearing loss is affecting their earning potential. The areas of their work that are most affected are hearing and understanding phone calls and conversations with co-workers.
  • 40% of the individuals who reported having a hearing loss said that it has affected their home life in many ways, such as having conversations with loved ones. 65% said they have trouble hearing the television. Watching TV with others and social gatherings are the areas that Boomers with hearing loss avoid most.
  • More than half (57%) of those with a hearing loss said they often have difficulty hearing on a cell phone.

So if you are experiencing hearing loss or hearing difficulty, you are not alone. Today’s seniors, known as the Baby Boomer generation, includes anyone born before the year 1964. There is a large portion of our society who have the very real need for hearing aids to  improve the quality of their lives.

You can find out what programs are available to help Arkansas seniors get the hearing aids they need to enjoy their lives to the fullest by contacting the Arkansas Hearing Aid Center in North Little Rock. Jerry Luker is a hearing aid specialist and he can explain to you the options available to you in your specific situation or you can find out more on our website.

Phonak Hearing Aids In Arkansas: Exelia

Posted on March 18th, 2010 in Phonak Hearing Aids Arkansas by admin

We offer various hearing aids to our customers depending on their needs and their particular needs in order to best manage their hearing loss. Among those offered by us are the Phonak Hearing Aids. One of the Phonak models is the  Exelia which is known as the Full Life Experience hearing aid.

Exélia is a unique combination of cutting-edge technology, audiological expertise and wireless connectivity, which delivers unprecedented hearing performance and user interaction together with easy access to modern communication and entertainment systems.

As part of its mission to give hearing impaired individuals access to all the activities that make up a full life, Phonak has applied invaluable input from end users and hearing care professionals to identify the three key drivers to the delivery of maximum client benefit: performance, control and connectivity.

Ultimate performance
Exelia’s superior hearing performance is based on SoundFlow, a revolutionary automatic system that seamlessly creates an infinite number of situation-specific programs. This is backed by VoiceZoom, the most sophisticated adaptive, multi-channel directional system available, and WhistleBlock Technology, which sets a new benchmark in feedback cancellation. With a host of other industry-leading features and superior audiological algorithms, Exelia is the most advanced hearing system to date.

Sophisticated control
Although seamless automatic hearing performance is paramount, users occasionally require manual control. The optional myPilot command center provides intuitive control of hearing instrument functions and sophisticated network status information. This includes ZoomControl – a world’s first, which enables users to control their hearing focus, offering a solution to difficult situations such as listening in a car. And Exélia QuickSync addresses those moments when fast, simple binaural adjustment is required, ensuring balanced, synchronized hearing at all times.

Unlimited connectivity
Technology surrounds us, and modern lifestyles require access to a multitude of devices and gadgets. iCom is a highly innnovative wireless communication interface through which any Bluetooth enabled device is accessible with stereo audio quality.  Exélia users can now enjoy interference-free, binaural mobile phone use with iCom. As an additional feature iCom can be directly connected to the proven FM technology from Phonak, allowing for the most comprehensive connectivity spectrum available in the market today.

Phonak CEO Valentin Chapero confidently states, “Exelia truly represents a major leap forward in hearing system technology, offering fantastic automatic functionalities in addition to a convenient wireless interface with the digital world. Exélia bridges the longstanding gap between the hearing instrument industry and the consumer electronics industry, providing wearers the same level of connectivity as everyone else.  When it comes to both audiological
performance and interaction with the world around us, Exélia has no peer”.

Exelia hearing systems are based on Phonak’s revolutionary new CORE (Communication Optimized Real-audio Engine) technology, a wireless processing platform which challenges the notion that all hearing instrument technology is comparable. CORE represents a whole new era in hearing technology introducing benchmark computing power and sophisticated wireless technology – even facilitating wireless transfer of fitting data to CORE enabled instruments.

iCube is the first programming device that allows for cable free fittings. As a result, hearing care professionals have more fitting flexibility than ever before, with the choice of iCube or standard fitting interfaces, HI-PRO or NOAHlink.

As a complete product family, Exelia caters to the diversity of personal communication needs and lifestyles with customized solutions for each individual wearer.  These include standard and micro BTE models and a full range of custom models from CIC to ITE. The high- performance features in every model are optimized for monaural or binaural fittings to ensure that every hearing loss and communication need can be addressed.

Exélia celebrates the diversity of personal communication needs and lifestyles with comprehensive, tailored hearing solutions for each individual wearer.

At Arkansas Hearing Aid Center, your needs are our primary concern.  We take pride in providing you with great services and superior products.  As part of our commitment to satisfying your needs, we proudly dispense the latest Phonak digital hearing instruments. Digital technology allows our audiologist to “fine-tune” a hearing instrument’s settings to your specific hearing needs while you’re wearing it! Your participation in the fitting process lets our staff quickly and precisely fit the hearing aids for your hearing loss.

The Exelia Phonak hearing aids are available to our Arkansas customers.
