"The open fit design gives our customers another option for hearingsolutions that meet their specific needs," said John Costello, CEO of Zounds."The new hearing aid is ideal for the tens of thousands, who like me, who havea mild, high-frequency loss.
"Although our existing Z1 hearing aids are designed for comfort andminimal occlusion, the new Open Fit Mini BTE model completely eliminates thiseffect and is the ideal choice for customers that require a higher level ofocclusion management. Our licensed Hearing Consultants will help customersfind the best solution for their individual loss."
Occlusion is the result of bone conduction when the opening of the earcanal is closed off by a hearing aid. The Zounds Open Fit Mini BTE hearingaid uses a clear, soft and disposable tip that lies within the ear canal.Because nothing seals the inner walls of the ear, occlusion is not an issue.Zounds feedback management system helps eliminate nearly all feedback,especially when using the phone.
The Zounds Open Fit Mini BTE features the same technology found in all Z1hearing aids, including multiple directional microphones, patented feedbackand noise cancellation technology, rechargeable batteries and high-fidelity(16 bands through 8000 hertz) covering all consonant and speech sounds.
All Zounds Z1 hearing aids are priced at the same, affordable amount.Hearing tests from one of Zounds' licensed Hearing Consultants are free ofcharge.
