About Siemens

In 1878, Werner von Siemens designed one of the first amplified hearing aids — a telephone handset with powerful amplification. This design was like nothing you’ll see at a hearing aid store today, but it gave way to another innovation by Siemens in 1913: the Phonophor hearing aid. This included a battery, microphone and receiver, and people carried it in a handbag when they weren’t using it. Just one year later, Siemens took that design to a new level and added a miniature receiver that sat close to the eardrum. Looking at this design, it’s easy to see how it gave way to modern Siemens hearing aids.

Hearing Damage in Movie Theaters

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

A friend forwarded us the SmartMoney.com article “10 Things Movie Theaters Won’t Tell You.” The list contains some interesting information — theaters prefer that you don’t come to a movie on opening night, and concessions usually account for about 25 percent of a theater’s revenue, for example. But what’s most applicable to our Hearing Aid Blog came in at number nine on the list: “Going to the movies could be hazardous to your hearing.”

The article states that decibel levels are different at every movie theater, but the loud special effects of some action films can be as dangerous to your hearing as sounds at a loud rock concert. According to the Center for Hearing and Communication, this can possibly contribute to hearing loss.

In the article, the director of public education for the Center for Hearing and Communication says that they have received complaints about movie theater noise levels. What’s more is that people who have complained to the movie theater, says the director, “have been met with resistance.”

Even though movie theaters may not be cooperative in keeping sound levels to safe levels, there’s something you can do to help prevent hearing loss. The article notes that you can purchase a sound level meter, which will measure the decibels around you.

Protecting yourself from hearing loss is very important. Exposure to loud noises, whether it’s from a loud concert or MP3 player, can potentially cause lasting damage. If you are currently suffering from hearing loss and have questions about hearing aids, contact us at Hearing Aid Express — we’ll be happy to help you. We carry a wide selection of hearing aids from Starkey, Unitron, ReSound and more.

Open-Fit Technology Hearing Aids

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Open-fit technology hearing aids are a very appealing choice for many thanks to their discreet appearance. These hearing aids sit behind the ear, and there is usually a clear tube that runs over the curve of the ear to deliver sound to the ear canal. Their design makes it so the hearing aid provides top sound quality and does not block the ear canal.

ReSound Open-Fit Technology Hearing Aids

Released in 2003, the ReSound Air was the world’s first open-fit hearing aid and wound up winning several awards because of its design and technical innovation. This unit is best for people who have moderate hearing loss in high-frequency ranges. We’re proud to carry these amazing ReSound Air hearing aids at Hearing Aid Express.

In addition to the Air, ReSound makes several other open-fit technology hearing aids. One such unit is the ReSound Azure, which boasts an elegant and sleek design along with the latest digital sound technology. Some features include a program button and volume control. That means easy adjustment to any listening situation.

Other OTE hearing aids we offer include the ReSound Dot, ReSound Ziga, Starkey Destiny and many more. Be sure to visit our hearing aids page to see all that we have available.

All About Hearing Aid Styles

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

There are several different kinds of hearing aid styles, which is great news for people suffering from hearing loss who are concerned about how their hearing aids will look. For people who fear that their hearing aids will be noticeable to others, there are hearing aid styles that make the instrument nearly invisible. Advancements in technology and innovative manufacturers are to thank for the many hearing aid styles available today.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids

The Dot by ReSound is an example of a behind-the-ear hearing aid. This hearing aid style is appropriately named: It sits behind the ear, making many of them hard to spot. In fact, ReSound calls the Dot “the smallest, most discreet behind-the-ear hearing aid available.” It should be noted, however, that not all behind-the-ear hearing aids offer the same discreet look as the Dot by ReSound. Behind-the-ear hearing aids can be typically be worn by people of all ages with mild to profound hearing loss.

Open Fit Hearing Aids

Open fit hearing aids are similar to behind-the-ear hearing aids. They are also placed behind the ear, and according to the Mayo Clinic, the sound travels from an open fit hearing aid to a speaker in the ear canal via a small tube or wire to a tiny dome or speaker. Open fit hearing aids may be best for people with mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss.

Other Hearing Aid Styles

Many other hearing aid styles exist, like in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids, in-the-canal (ITC) hearing aids and completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids. To find out which hearing aid style is best for you, get a hearing evaluation. We offer free hearing evaluations at Hearing Aid Express, and there is never any obligation to buy hearing aids from us. If you have questions or want to find out more about hearing loss or hearing aids, contact us online or visit one of our stores.

Spotlight on the Dot by ReSound

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

We’re proud to offer the Dot by ReSound, a behind-the-ear hearing aid. On their website, ReSound describes this unit as “the smallest, most discreet behind-the-ear hearing aid available.” A well-known and highly regarded name in the industry, ReSound manufactures innovative hearing aids. For those with hearing loss or tinnitus, these units are worth considering.

Features of the Dot by ReSound

Fully automatic, the Dot by ReSound doesn’t need to be adjusted manually. And with 100 hours of battery life, these hearing aids last a while before needing new batteries. Its appearance is appealing to many, as it’s very discreet. The Dot by ReSound is for people with mild to profound hearing loss.

Dot by ReSound: Variants

There are actually three different variants of the Dot by ReSound for different hearing situations. The ReSound dot10 is for quiet listening environments. The ReSound dot20 is for moderate listening environments, and the ReSound dot30 is for demanding listening environments. All offer the innovation and quality that comes along with ReSound hearing aids, and they are all behind-the-ear hearing aids.

More ReSound Hearing Aids

At Hearing Aid Express, you’ll find many more ReSound hearing aids if the Dot turns out to not be the right one for you. Visit one of our locations in Austin, Houston or Dallas to find out more and get your questions answered by our great staff. Also, feel free to contact us online.

New Year, New Hearing Aids

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

It’s not uncommon for people to make New Year’s resolutions, and the resolutions typically are about improving a person’s life and well-being. If you suffer from hearing loss, make it your resolution to do something about it: Get hearing aids to start hearing sounds more loudly and clearly.

Here are some things that hearing aids do:

  • Enable you to participate more fully in activities and conversations
  • Help you hear certain pitches, like high-pitched consonant sounds (s, t, f and sh), better
  • Make sound louder
  • Make speech easier to understand in most situations

By contrast, hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, transform distorted sound into clear sound, let you hear only what you’d like to hear or deliver the ability to hear speech perfectly when competing sounds are present.

Two hearing aids are better than just one. Think of it this way: If you closed one eye, your depth perception would be distorted. It’s important to see with both eyes just as it’s important to hear with both ears. Understanding can be affected if you’re only hearing with one ear, as hearing occurs in your brain, not your ears. Hearing sound from both ears helps the brain understand sounds.

Hearing Aids

At Hearing Aid Express, we have an impressive selection of hearing aids from ReSound, Unitron, Starkey and Sonic Innovations. Stop by one of our many convenient locations in Austin, Dallas or Houston, where our friendly staff will be happy to answer questions you have about hearing aids and hearing loss. Our stores also offer free hearing evaluations.

If you’re trying to decide whether hearing technology is right for you, we encourage you to first have your hearing tested before you make a decision. New hearing aids for the new year may help improve your life — contact us to find out more.
