Dr.’s Luekenga and Whitaker, in conjunction with Dixie Hearing and Balance Center, are pleased to announce that after months of clinical observations, have found the best quality hearing aids for every type of ear. After gathering feedback from patients on which hearing aid systems are most effective for certain types of ear anatomy and hearing loss, they have narrowed down the two best hearing aids for 2011 to SoundLens and Alera.
“We are witnessing a striking breakthrough in hearing aid design and performance with innovative technology,” said Dr. Richard Luekenga.
SoundLens is the first custom fit invisible-in-the-canal hearing aid that is 100% invisible and features the latest feedback canceller and a new noise reduction and speech preservation system, making transitions between quiet and loud environments smoother than ever. Truly 100% customized and tailored to each patient’s ear, doctors of audiology can custom fit SoundLens to each individual’s personal lifestyle.
“The SoundLens has made it easy for me to wear a hearing aid and nobody knows I have it on! Having a hearing aid has immensely improved the quality of my life,” said Susan Taylor, patient.
Alera is the most flexible and technologically advanced aid on the market with highly consistent sound quality and Bluetooth capability (allowing wireless connection to TV, radio and phone) making it one of the simplest and most user-friendly aids available. As a top-of-the-line hearing aid with many features, the overall quality is supreme as well as the value, as it comes in three different price points and is the best quality with the most comfortable fit. Alera comes in many different styles and does not fit in the ear canal as deeply as other brands, making it more natural and comfortable.
“I’ve been wearing hearing aids for ten years and with Alera, this is first time I can hear every bit of the dialog on the television. And my wife is asking ME to turn up the volume! ” stated Alan Bird, patient.
