Debary, FL. January 5, 2012 - During everyday use, hearing systems are exposed to many circumstances or environments that can cause malfunctions and irreparable damage. Therefore, audifon protects each of its BTE hearing systems with nanoShield.
This innovative process, referred to as nano-coating, involves coating the finished hearing aid and all of its components, including the digital signal processor and converter, with an ultra thin polymer layer. The process utilizes a special pulsed ionized gas in a vacuum chamber to apply a polymer layer that is one thousand times finer than a human hair. This layer alters the surface texture of the device and components, creating a water and dirt repellent surface. Moisture coming in contact with nano-coated devices will form tiny droplets which then roll off of the instrument and its components, preventing moisture-related damage.
In a long-term study conducted under extreme laboratory conditions in a climate controlled laboratory, the protective effect of audifon nanoShield was put to the test. The impressive results revealed no rust or corrosion build-up on any of the tested instruments.
