What’s New in Hearing Aid Technology?
Hearing aid technology, like most technologies, is constantly improving. HES ensures that our audiologists stay current by providing constant and ongoing training on both existing and new hearing aid models.
The newest hearing aid introduced by Oticon, one of the largest and most cutting edge hearing aid manufacturers, is called Agil Pro. Several years ago Oticon introduced the Epoq which offered ground breaking technology that no manufacturer has yet been able to copy. Epoqs were the first and only hearing aids to actually communicate with each other wirelessly to provide the best hearing performance in background noise. They also provided natural “surround-sound” and were the first hearing aids to be Bluetooth compatible. Many of our patients, both new and experienced hearing aid users, have been wearing Epoq hearing aids with great success and satisfaction.
The new Agil Pro was introduced just a few weeks ago and replaces Epoq as the most advanced and natural sounding hearing aid on the market. Even our experienced Epoq users who recently started wearing Agil Pro hearing aids, were impressed with how much better they heard in background noise and group situations with the Agil Pros. We have heard reports that the Agils are the most natural sounding hearing aids they have ever worn. Agil Pro is Bluetooth compatible and available in a range of sizes and styles, including the very discreet slim tube and receiver in the ear styles. If you’ve been thinking about new hearing aids and want to maximize your hearing in group situations and noisy places, ask about Agil Pro.
