October News | This could be the ONE for you…

Hey there,

As you probably know, hearing aids have come a long way since the early years.

Initially, people tried to solve their problems with hollowed-out animal horns and rudimentary ear trumpets, which didn’t work very well!

In the early 1900s, pioneering researchers invented electronic hearing aids, paving the way for over a century of technical developments.

Today, with full digitalization, smartphone connectivity, and features like “remote assist,” these fantastic instruments have reached an incredibly high level of excellence.

Manufacturers are always pushing the boundaries, and in September, a new hearing aid model was launched that many believe will redefine wearers’ experiences: The ReSound ONE.

Why this device might be revolutionary

Currently, a handful of our selected patients are trialing the ReSound ONE to determine if it offers the level of performance that the makers promise.

So far, the initial feedback has been very positive, and as specialists, we can understand why it’s growing in popularity.

This new device doesn’t just capture sounds via a microphone sitting behind someone’s ear, like most hearing aids.

Instead, it more closely mimics the way people hear naturally, using the outer parts of their ears to register the position and frequency of different noises.

It’s also equipped with an advanced processor, providing increased clarity, as you might expect.

If you’d like to find out more about this new hearing technology, give us a call at (407) 668-4546, and we can set you up with a trial, so you can experience the difference for yourself.

Updates from the Office 

The team at Preferred Hearing Centers continues to offer curbside drop-off and in-home patient care, meeting your needs during the pandemic.

Our specialists are available Monday to Friday, with after-hours appointments available on request.

For those requiring weekend consultations, our East Colonial office is regularly now open and staffed from 8:15-12:15 on the first and third Saturday of each month!

A number of our hearing aid wearers have lost their devices while trying to take off face masks recently. If you have a concern about this, we can help you to find a solution – just ask!

As an essential service provider, the team is also working extra hours to ensure that our offices remain sanitized and safe, in line with CDC guidelines. Your well-being is our top priority.

And finally, our co-founders, Mark D. Johnson and Brenda Johnson, recently took a fantastic Florida stay-cation over at Fort Myers and Sanibel Island. We are so fortunate that Florida has so much to offer, and places to relax and get away.

On the way, they visited loved ones who had been sheltering in place for six months. It was such a great visit and showed just how important family is at this time!

Given that healthcare providers only screen 12% of their patients for hearing loss, millions of individuals are suffering from hearing loss with no end in sight, and often are not fully aware of their difficulties.
