Tech Talk For Today’s Hearing Help
By Frank “Pete” Fox, Lake Erie Hearing
Hi there, I am Frank “Pete” Fox, MA and Fel- low of the American Academy of Audiology MA/ FAAA, owner of Lake Erie Hearing.
In this article we will be looking at various as- pects of the latest technology available to remain fully engaged in life. Today’s topic is, how artificial intelligence makes hearing simple:
Hearing devices of 3-4 years ago were quite remarkable in their own right, as they could alter their behavior at the touch of a button. The problem was that they were not smart enough to ap-
ply the changes instantly and without disturbing the hearing device wearer. The wearer had to:
1) Find something unpleasant or miss some part of a conversation.
Then:
2) Push a button to change the hearing device to a different setting or
program; in any event you of- ten found yourself responding after the fact.
Obviously, hearing technology that can ana- lyze the listening environment in live situations changed how it worked to assure the best possi- ble combination of comfort and understanding.
This is exactly what we see today in the Re- sound Linx 3D series of discreet hearing
products.
