The latest Hearing Aids available in St. Louis

We always look forward to introducing new hearing aids on the market. As technology continues to advance, so do the capabilities of these hearing aids. These new models feature cutting-edge technology, sleek designs, and advanced features, providing users with a more natural and customizable listening experience. 

Let's look at some of the latest hearing aids available in St. Louis. 

Oticon Real 

Oticon has launched a new hearing aid called Oticon Real, representing the next BrainHearing journey milestone. This new device builds on the company's strong premium legacy and Oticon More, providing users with comfortable access to all relevant sounds in balance and with exceptional detail and clarity.

A new solution for background sounds

As Audiologists, we understand that one of the biggest challenges that hearing aid users face is dealing with soft and loud disruptive noise, such as rattling keys, ringing phones, slamming doors, and keyboard clicks, which can add richness and meaning to any listening environment, but can also be challenging to handle. Oticon Real's innovative technology is designed to address these sounds, including the world's first feature for balancing soft and loud sudden sounds and the world's first wind and handling noise prevention feature.

Oticon Real features two new technologies: Wind & Handling Stabilizer and SuddenSound Stabilizer. 

Wind & Handling Stabilizer is a double-patented technology that immediately detects and cleans up the signal up to 500 times per second. It reduces wind noise by 22% less than a competitor and improves speech clarity by 17% in wind. 

SuddenSound Stabilizer is another innovative technology in Oticon Real that instantly detects and balances soft and loud sudden sounds. It can handle more than 500,000 sudden sounds during a typical day, and it dynamically and instantly reduces and releases gain as the sounds occur, with no impact on speech understanding. 

The Oticon Real family includes four styles: miniRITE R, miniRITE T, miniBTE R, and miniBTE T, available in three performance levels and nine color options. All styles feature state-of-the-art connectivity, enabling direct streaming, hands-free calls, and more.

Starkey Genesis 

Starkey has released the new Genesis AI, a ground-breaking hearing technology system representing a new frontier in the hearing industry. Designed to provide patients and hearing healthcare professionals with an unprecedented experience, Genesis AI is completely reimagined from the inside out, featuring an all-new processor, sound, industrial design, fitting software, and patient experience. 

Starkey Neuro Processor

The all-new Starkey Neuro Processor is the most advanced in the industry, with six times more transistors than previous processors, 5x more computational memory, and 10x the amount of non-volatile memory. The new Neuro Sound Technology provides the best hearing experience for patients in all situations, synthesizing signals from slow and fast compression systems for optimized perceptual outcomes.

Genesis AI also features an all-new, sleek, discreet, and stylish aesthetic product design that is comfortable for all-day wear and helps reduce the stigma of hearing care technology. 

Starkey has developed a My Starkey App that gives patients complete control over their hearing aids, including the ability to access intelligent features designed to simplify their lives, track their health, and receive helpful tips.

The company also leads the hearing industry in incorporating health and wellness features into hearing aids, including detecting falls and sending alerts, counting steps, tracking and encouraging social engagement, and supporting hands-free calling through compatible Apple and Android devices. The improved streaming capabilities of Genesis AI utilize binaural phone streaming to support two-way calling and provide natural-sounding results.

Starkey’s Pro Fit feature

Starkey's new fitting software, Pro Fit, was architected from the ground up based on input from hearing professionals around the globe, providing a seamless fitting experience from first fit to fine-tuning. Genesis AI represents the best-sounding, best-performing hearing aid available, offering endless benefits to patients and hearing healthcare professionals.

Phonak Lumity

Phonak has announced the launch of its next-generation hearing aids powered by the latest Lumity platform, beginning with the Audéo Lumity models. 

Unparalleled Speech Understanding

The new Lumity platform provides Phonak's best performance in speech understanding, which is the most basic but still the most crucial purpose of a hearing aid, according to Angela Pelosi, The Director of Global Audiology for Phonak. The Lumity platform features the proprietary SmartSpeech Technology, providing improved speech understanding and reduced listening effort, especially in challenging environments. The new platform delivers an average of 15% better speech intelligibility from the back and sides and 16% better speech understanding from the front in noisy environments.

Other features of the Phonak Lumity

Lumity also includes universal Bluetooth connectivity, advanced directional microphone technology, and sound quality expected from a hearing industry leader. 

Optional integrations like the ActiveVent receiver and Roger On further improve speech understanding. At the same time, the myPhonak app empowers users to make adjustments, track personal health data, and connect directly with a hearing care professional. 

The Audéo Lumity is also available as Phonak Audéo Life, designed to be waterproof and tested beyond the IP68 rating.
