Advantages Beyond Cosmetics Of Deep Canal Hearing Aids

1. Acoustic advantages: The deep canal aid fits deep within the ear canal which allows your ear's natural acoustic features to work their greatest efficiency. This improves the performance achieved by the instrument.

2. Elimination of the volume control: The special features of a deep canal aid eliminate the need for a volume control wheel common to most hearing aids.

3. Wind noise: A hearing aid contained completely within your ear canal reduces the problem of wind noise.

4. Sleeptime wear: The fit, comfort and reduced feedback of a deep canal aid makes it possible to wear during sleep. This allows you to continue to hear important sounds such as speech or alarm signals.

5. Less distortion: A deep canal aid produces greater real-ear output which means that less sound amplification is needed. This reduces the likelihood of sound distortion.

6. A fit for active people: The sureness of a deep canal aid's fit makes it ideal for use during exercise and vigorous work.

7. Less feedback: This aid's position close to the eardrum, secure fit, and minimal venting work together to minimize acoustic feedback.

8. Comfort: A shell precisely made from a mold of your ear usually results in a deep canal aid that is very comfortable to wear.

9. Telephones: With a deep canal aid, you will experience less acoustic feedback. You will also find that this instrument's deep fit helps eliminate the discomfort of placing a telephone to your ear.

10. Easy removal: The permanently attached cord and small size of this aid make it easier to remove from your ear than most in-the-ear instruments.

11. Appearance: This may be the most popular feature. A deep canal aid is virtually invisible when worn.

12. Circuitry: Because of the reduction in the size of electronics, today's deep canal hearing aids are available in 100% digital signal processing.

Starkey OtoLens

Starkey has developed the first custom, completely invisible, fully programmable digital hearing aid called the OtoLens. The new OtoLens is placed so deep in the ear canal it cannot be seen. What's so amazing about this product is that it features top of the line technology.
OtoLens delivers:
  • Industry-leading feedback eliminator
  • 16 channels and 16 bands for high-resolution sound imaging
  • A remote function that allows patients to adjust volume and memories using a standard touch-tone phone
  • Wide fitting range with up to 60 dB of real ear aided gain
  • Voice iQ noise reduction and speech prevention system, which utilizes dynamic voice identification coupled with a spectral noise control that calculates appropriate gain on a per channel basis providing unprecedented sound quality
  • Uses the ear's acoustics for natural sound quality
  • Custom fit product to the patients specific hearing needs
Ear Health
Unlike other deep insertion hearing aids which must be inserted by an audiologist (such as the Lyric) OtoLens can be inserted or removed by the patient at anytime. This not only promotes ear health, it also allows the patient to remove the hearing aid when showering or swimming. I don't know about you but I like to clean my ears when I shower!
Safety
Most people take their hearing aids off at night to sleep, as it maybe hard to sleep when you can hear everything. Since the Lyric cannot be removed, the patient will probably turn it off at night. When the Lyric or other deep insertion hearing aid is turned off it is like having ear plugs in. The patient will then experience additional hearing loss up to 40 dB. This can be especially dangerous as the patient may not be able to hear a fire alarm at night. However with the OtoLens the patient can remove the hearing aid at night and still have their natural hearing.
Cost
Not only does the OtoLens have superior digital technology it comes with a much smaller price tag. The OtoLens is priced at $6,995 and will last up to 5 years. The Lyric on the other hand which uses analog technology costs $3,600 per year. Over a 5 year period the cost to have the Lyric would be $18,000.
The OtoLens is the best invisible hearing aid on the market today! Where other companies have created analog standard fit hearing aids, Starkey has created a product that has superior technology, costs less, and promotes ear health.
