Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:44:55 +0000

The Beltone Edge was designed for people with hearing loss in high frequencies, who are the most common. It amplifies high pitched sounds and lets other sounds enter the ear without any distortion. Its open design is also great for those who do not like the occlusion of other hearing aids designs.

Its features include: Rapid Compression System™ for clean and clear sound quality; Active Feedback Cancellation™ to give you more power, while minimizing whistling; Speech Pattern Detection™ to reduce amplification for non-speech like sounds; Silencer System™ to minimize distortion and enhance sound quality; Delayed Start-Up™ so you can put your hearing aid in without experiencing whistling or feedback.

It is an open design hearing aid that allows users to receive clearly the sounds that they can understand while enhancing those sounds that the ear cannot clearly distinguish and cause misunderstandings.

The hearing aid is virtually invisible when in place and works perfectly even in noisy surroundings. It is easy to put in the ear and will not fall out, even if you go for jogging with it or any other sports. It has automatic volume control, so no need for you to be bothered by any buttons to change the sound level as you change surroundings.

It is fully rechargeable; it is the smallest and most convenient rechargeable hearing aid in the market. The Wind Noise Suppression works charms in windy conditions, offering comfort and convenience. You don’t even notice you are wearing it, and people around won’t even notice you are wearing it. It can be easily charged overnight, no need to take out the batteries, just place it in the charger.

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:02:38 +0000

Gone are the days of clunky hearing aids that are ugly and cumbersome when used. Advancements in the design and technology of hearing aids have produced a sleek and sophisticated line of hearing aids that could come straight out of a science fiction film. Today’s most advanced hearing aids have become very small, light and transparent that they are virtually invisible when worn.

One of these high-tech hearing aids that are ‘designed to disappear’ is the Beltone Marq. It is in fact the smallest and most cosmetically transparent hearing aid in its category. It features an ultra-ergonomic shape that follows the ear’s contour. The Beltone Marq comes in two different models the Marq17 and the Marq9, named after the number of channels that each model has.

Beltone Marq Hearing Aid Specifications

Models: Marq 17 & Marq 9
Wide Dynamic Range – Correct level of amplification for all sounds
Compression – Curvilinearity
Channels – Clear and natural sound quality
Time Constants – Limits distortion of sound
Multichannel Maximum Power Output (MPO) – Prevents uncomfortable exposure sudden loud sounds
Improved Adaptive Active Feedback Cancellation (AFC) – Immediate and effective prevention of squealing and echoes
Speech Spotter – Automatically switches to focus on speech signals
Smart Beam – Focuses on speech signals in three different widths
Speech Pattern Detection (SPD) – Reduces irrelevant background noise
Silencer – Reduced amplification for low level background noise
Satisfaction Journal – Logs data on how the hearing aid has been used
Delayed Activation – Switches on a few seconds after closing the battery door
Notification Beeps – Beeps indicate low battery level and program selection

Weighing a mere 1.4 grams (including the battery and receiver), the Beltone Marq is extremely light. It is also ergonomically designed to fit behind the ear discreetly. Because of its extremely small size and shape, the Beltone Marq is in fact a visually and acoustically transparent hearing aid that is both durable and comfortable.

Routine functions such as volume adjustment and microphone directionality are now automated. It also reduces feedback, detects electro-magnetic fields, and adjusts accordingly. The Beltone Marq is an intelligent hearing aid it can actually learn from the individuals hearing routine as well as tell the user that it’s time for a visit to the audiologist.

Pros:

Advanced design and cutting-edge technology
Extremely small size and lightweight makes the Marq visually and acoustically invisible
Offers a wide range of features

Cons:

Pricier than most hearing aids
