New Sound Amplifier by Aurilink Makes Custom Hearing Aids Obsolete
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 repeatedAll 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.

What You Should Know about Children's Hearing Aids
It is estimated that more than 1 million children in the U.S. have some form of hearing loss. Even if hearing loss is not very severe, this impairment in children can have a profound affect on their educations. Some children with hearing impairments may be mistaken to have learning disabilities, or assumed to be defiant or downright stubborn. Even with more and more hospitals screening newborns for hearing loss, still slip through the cracks.
Parents may not even be aware of a slight loss of hearing until other problems develop.
Fortunately, for both parents and children, many models of child hearing aids are available to consumers. The first step is to have your child evaluated by an audiologist. This specialist can determine the level of hearing loss in the child and recommend solutions and aids to help them. Children as young as a week old have been reported to have received hearing aids.
The same models offered for adults are available...
