Product launches are one of the most exciting times of the year at Davidson’s. Giving our clinicians a chance to experience the new updated technology and learn what benefits each manufacturer offers. It is just as important to give our clients a chance to learn about the new technology on the market and understand the key features each hearing aid has to offer. This fall we have seen new products from Oticon, ReSound, Signia, and Starkey. Phonak has just released the details on their newest product, Marvel, which will hit the Canadian market on November 28, 2018.

Signia’s revolutionary design is the fruit of their efforts to redefine what hearing aids should look like. They are extremely small, featuring an all new type of Pin battery versus the traditional coin battery.
The new design also boasts a new robust charging system that is small enough to put in your pocket. The charger lasts on a single charge for 3 days allowing you to take your hearing aids and charger on the go for a long weekend without the need of extra cables.
Using the Signia Pure Nx Platform these hearing aids offer incredible features that the other Pure Nx hearing aids offer. With built in bluetooth, you can control everything right from your smartphone. In addition, you can stream TV directly to your hearing aids, or hear every word that your tour guide has to say, even if you are at the back of the group. Signia has worked on developing their Own Voice processor (OVP) which allows the wearer to hear the sound of your own voice as nature intended.

Resound just recently launched the LiNX Quattro hearing aid with their new Chip Platform. The new computer chip boasts 100% increase in speed, 20% more power and double the memory than ReSound’s former chip. As a result, these advancements enable the hearing aids to distinguish layers of sound while providing you with clarity in the finer details.
The new LiNX Quattro rechargeable system showcases the longest lasting rechargeable hearing aid on the market. A full charge only takes 3 hours and can last up to 30 hours on a single charge. On the go and don’t have time for a full charge? 1 hour will provide you an additional 16 hour. Above all, a 10 minute charge will keep your hearing aids powered on for another 2.7 hours!
Furthermore, both low and high-pitched sounds are fuller and more natural. Quiet situations are truly quiet and louder sounds are comfortable, crisp and distortion-free. Children’s laughter and the high notes and deep tones in music, are now fuller and more enjoyable.
