MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 7 2011 - Starkey Laboratories, Inc., a global leader in hearing technology, is excited to introduce AMP™, the hearing aid for people who are not ready to wear a hearing aid. Many are reluctant to consider hearing aids because they do not want to be seen wearing one or have outdated perceptions of how they sound, but Starkey's new AMP addresses these concerns. AMP is invisible in most ears, more affordable and sounds great. Additionally, AMP's programming method makes fitting efficient so that patients can walk out the door wearing an AMP in a single visit.
AMP offers an array of benefits including:
- Completely digital, four-channel signal processing
- Feedback cancellation to extend the fitting range
- Elastomeric sleeves designed to promote airflow and reduce occlusion - available in a variety of sizes to fit a range of ear anatomies
- A size 10 battery
- A magnetic wand that allows patients to turn AMP on and off as well as adjust volume
