Hearing Components and GN Resound Announce New Technology to Make Demonstrating Easier for Custom Hearing Aid Wearers

Share:
Oakdale, Minnesota, February 8, 2005 - Hearing Components announces a new technology alliance with GN Resound, to make the first compliant mini Canal Aid hearing aids designed for demonstration and loaning to hearing aid users. This licensing arrangement allows GN Resound to create the first, practical instant fitting, final-electronic-product-comparable, demonstrator and loaner hearing aid for Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) hearing aid users.



Hearing Components' Comply CapsuleTM System utilizes viscoelastic foam with a specially designed capsule with built-in patented compliant coupling technology. The mini-canal sized capsule was designed to hold the electronic parts necessary to build multi-channel digital aids. GN Resound now utilizes this system with their unique electronics and software to create their own demonstration instrument for hearing professionals.

Digital electronic technology enables customization of circuits in much smaller instruments and allows for adjustments on each individual's hearing loss using standard methods and software. The patient information, which is already stored electronically in the hearing professional's office, can be directly downloaded into the electronic capsule in seconds making for a perfect demonstration, allowing the patient to experience the true electronics. When the electronics are combined with the Comply Capsule and Snap Tips, this system offers patients the first digital custom demonstration.

"The combination of the Hearing Components and GN Resound technologies provides the practitioner with a superior solution for their patients who want to experience how a custom performs. The technology alliance has created a significant win-win opportunity for practitioners and their patients." reports Karen Dee, National Sales Manager for Hearing Components. "Also, when a patient who wears a custom must surrender it for factory service or repair, the hearing professional can relieve this hardship by offering a temporary, yet customized, loaner to the patient."
