New Sound Amplifier by Aurilink Makes Custom Hearing Aids Obsolete
Aurilink has developed a soft, comfortable sound amplifier for those who need occasional hearing assistance because of mild hearing loss, with programmable settings for a variety of listening environments.
(PRWEB) March 18, 2005 -- Aurilink, Inc. has developed a “ready-to-wear” sound
amplifier for individuals who want and need occasional hearing assistance
due to mild hearing loss. Such assistance was previously only available with
expensive custom hearing aids, but preliminary studies have shown that the
Aurilink Sound Magnifier is equal or superior to the most advanced DSP (digital
signal processing) hearing instruments
currently available.
“We like to think of the Sound Magnifiers as reading
glasses for your ears,” said Otis A. Whitcomb, President and CEO of Aurilink.
“We created our Sound Magnifier hearing instruments to be
ideal for occasional amplification and protection, especially for hunters,
birdwatchers, theater and churchgoers, seminar participants, executives,
students, and professionals—anyone who wants a little hearing enhancement, but
who aren’t ready for expensive custom hearing aids.”
All
Aurilink Sound Magnifiers contain a programmable four-channel digital signal
processor and a 3-D microphone. The DSP offers the wearer a selection of
programs, from “amplifier” to “electronic hearing protection”, suitable for a
wide range of listening environments. The 3-D microphone is a modified
pressure-zone microphone, common in the professional audio industry. This
microphone allows a depth-of-field and directionality previously unavailable in
the hearing instrument industry.
The sound
amplifiers are made with the soft, flexible 21st Century SoftEar technology.
The soft shell housing discreetly snuggles into the ear canal, creating a better
seal to minimize feedback, and unlike hard shell hearing instruments, the
soft Aurilink Sound Magnifier flexes rather than shifts when the jaw
moves.
The Aurilink Sound Magnifier is perfect for people who:
• Have
trouble with soft speech or whispers
• Hear but can’t always understand
•
Find they hear better when they see the speaker’s face
• Often need to have
things repeated
All Sound Magnifiers come with a one-year limited
warranty as well as a risk-free 30-day home trial. Free shipping is available
for a limited time. For more information on the Aurilink Sound Magnifiers, visit

About Aurilink Sound Magnifiers
Aurilink Sound
Magnifiers are discreet, soft shell in-canal hearing instruments. They
are composed of high quality digital sound processors and microphones capable of
receiving sounds in the speech frequency range (250Hz-6000Hz). These sounds are
magnified by up to 30dB, then delivered into the ear canal through the receiver.
The Aurilink Sound Magnifier may not be suitable for those whose hearing loss
exceeds 50dB at 500, 1000, or 2000Hz.
About Aurilink, Inc.
Aurilink
was founded in 1998 to provide affordable hearing instruments to
people of all ages. The developers of the Aurilink Sound Magnifiers are
university-trained audiologists and engineers, and have spent thousands of hours
testing and counseling patients with hearing loss and fitting and dispensing hearing instruments.
