Focus on Unitron Hearing Aids

Brad — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:39:23 +0000

Unitron hearing aids are among the industry leaders in assistive hearing loss technology. We proudly offer a wide variety of products from this manufacturer, which is among one of the fastest-growing hearing aids manufacturers in the world.

Unitron Moxi & Unitron Moda II

The Unitron Moxi has a unique, innovative design consisting of two parts. A tiny receiver is placed in the ear canal, which is connected to a case which hides behind the ear. This design allows the Moxi to provide excellent hearing enhancement at an affordable price. The Unitron Moda II has a similar design, and both products are designed to last for years.

Unitron Next

The Unitron Next series of hearing aids has several classes of product designed to fit your budgetary needs. On the basic end is the Unitron Next E, which features two manual program settings which help users transition between different environments, thus customizing your listening experience. On the other end of the spectrum is the Unitron Next 16, which boasts of a host of automatic programming modes which smoothly provide a more comfortable boost to the user’s hearing.

The Unitron Next 4 and Unitron Next 8 round out this series, The 4 features (you guessed it) four manual programs to customize your receptiveness to the environment around you, while the 8 includes a wind noise manager and a feedback management system.

Unitron Yuu

The Unitron Yuu is a fantastic open-fit hearing aid, which means it is nestled discreetly behind the ear. This nearly invisible assistive device doesn’t spare any utility, however, marrying comfort with excellent augmentation.

Helping Loved Ones Deal With Hearing Loss

admin — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:11:47 +0000

There was a really great article in the Creston News Advertiser yesterday about helping loved ones deal with hearing loss. The writer notes that when a loved one isn’t willing to help himself, helping them is one of the most painful challenges for a family to deal with. When the problem involves hearing loss, denial can prevent a person from getting the help they need.

The article also points out the fact that hearing loss affects people of all ages. With loud music and other loud noises capable of causing hearing loss, this is especially true. And when a loved one suffers from hearing loss, their denial might result in them asking people to repeat themselves and speak more loudly. Essentially, this means that loved ones are acting as that person’s ears. Dr. Sergei Kochkin from the Better Hearing Institute is quoted in the article regarding this, saying that doing this for a loved one does not help them. Instead, it “encourages unconstructive codependent relationships” and you will be “enabling the hearing loss to have a negative impact on many aspects of your loved one’s quality of life, including job performance.”

No doubt, helping loved ones deal with hearing loss is a serious matter that requires patience and understanding, and working to bring the person to terms with their hearing loss so that they will get treatment for it. In the article, Dr. Richard Carmen from the Better Hearing Institute has some advice for this matter. He stresses that acting as your loved one’s ears is “counter-productive,” as they have no reason to seek treatment if you’re doing the work for them. He suggests instead that people involve their entire family in the effort to help their loved one hear again — family members can explain in a “calm, loving voice without condemnation” that they won’t be raising their voices or repeating themselves anymore.

Additionally, he advises that when your loved one asks someone to speak louder or repeat themself, to use a signal word like “Hearing Helper” as a way to alert that person that they are relying on another person to be their ears. This action, he says, will help your loved one realize just how many times they have to ask for assistance. The hope is that they will realize they need to get treatment.

Suffering From Hearing Loss? Tips for Communicating

admin — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:53:09 +0000

There was a great article at OrlandoSentinel.com yesterday that gave some tips for communicating with people who are suffering from hearing loss. The writer of the article discloses that she suffers from severe hearing loss and wears hearing aids. Though she’s learned to ask for help, she says, there are many who suffer in silence. She offers some tips for communicating with people who are experiencing hearing loss, noting that you might not even realize that a family member has lost hearing, and they might not know it either.

The first tip she offers is to be visible. Reading lips and seeing facial expressions is necessary, and you may need to politely tap a person’s shoulder or wave to get their attention.

Don’t shout, she says. Speak clearly in a normal voice, and state the context. And instead of repeating things louder and louder, rephrase what you’re saying so that the listener gets more clues and will better be able to understand you.

Background noise can make it very hard for a person suffering from hearing loss to effectively communicate. So make an effort to talk in a quiet place where there’s minimal noise.

If you’re misunderstood, just politely correct the person so that they don’t go off on a tangent. The last tip is to never give up, as you could make the person feel like they’re not worth being included.

If you or a loved one are suffering from hearing loss, you may find that wearing hearing aids greatly improves your life, enabling you to hear sounds clearly and loudly. At Hearing Aid Express, we offer a variety of hearing aids. We also accept Medicaid Hearing Aid Benefits.
