NFL’s Minnesota Vikings wearing custom ear plugs for NFC Championship game.

The Minnesota Vikings were fit with custom ear plugs to help deal with the overwhelming noise expected at the Superdome. When exposed to excessively loud sounds the ears and brain are overwhelmed with noise making it difficult to hear speech clearly. The custom ear plugs are fit with filters, similar to what musicians wear to attenuate (or lower) the overall volume evenly so not to distort sounds, but make them softer so that the brain can process the speech that it hears. These types of plugs have been used previously in the NFL. The intention was to help the offensive line hear the quarterback’s snap count clearer over the stadium noise. For the teams followed, it was noted that there was a decrease in false starts. There are also an increasing number of uses in other professional sports.

Oticon has just made their award winning Bluetooth technology on their Vigo and Vigo Pro models. This technology was once only available on the premier line of hearing aids and is now available in their moderately priced models. The Vigo Connect line is built on the same RISE technology as the premier line Epoq and Dual models. It also incorporates wireless connectivity via the MediaLink or Streamer, enabling users to connect directly to a variety of audio devices, including mobile phones, TV, computer, and stereos.

Historically hearing impaired patients, whether wearing hearing aid devices or not, have expressed difficulty with hearing and understanding on the telephone and while watching television. The Streamer or Media Link provides hearing impaired patients the absolute best clarity available in these listening environments.

Lyric Hearing Featured as one of the Best 100 Health Innovations in Popular Science

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:14:47 +0000

Hear Florida is thrilled to announce that Lyric® Hearing has been featured in the December issue of Popular Science. Lyric Invisible Hearing Aids are being recognized as one of the “Best of What’s New” innovations for 2009. Every year Popular Science finds the best 100 innovations and highlights them in this issue – only 12 “innovations” were chosen in the “Health” category, out of hundreds of entries that were reviewed. Lyric Hearing Aid is the only hearing-related product that won this award.

The all day and all night Lyric Hearing Aid is the first you can wear for months straight without surgical implantation. The bean-size hearing device stays inside your ear canal even when showering and sleeping, for up to four months. Sitting just a sixth of an inch from the eardrum, closer than any other hearing aid, it maximizes use of the entire outer ear to capture sound naturally. On the speaker end, the short distance to the eardrum reduces distortion. The user adjusts volume levels or turns it on or off by holding a small magnetic wand up to it. Patients replace the used Lyric every three to four months during a quick visit to the audiologist.

At Hear Florida, we provide hearing care services using the most advanced hearing aid products including the award-winning Lyric hearing aids. Contact us today to schedule an appointment at one of our South Florida hearing care centers with convenient locations in Miami, Boynton Beach, and Boca Raton.
