This unique type of hearing loss requires special attention. If you have trouble
distinguishing women's and children's voices and miss words the ch,s,t,f sound,
these are some tell-tale signs of a high-frequency hearing loss. The best results
are achieved when hearing aids are used in both ears. Many behind-the-ear
instruments can be used with a special open-type custom ear-mold (seep. IS).
The goal of our fitting is to provide you with amplification of the higher tone while
letting your natural hearing hear the lower tones. A good fitting will improve word
discrimination and understanding of conversations.
CUSTOM IN-THE-EAR MODELS:
The custom models on pages 5-9 and 13-14 can be specially designed to fit high
frequency losses at no extra cost. These are appropriate for users who have
good hearing up through 1500 Hz to 2000 Hz.
OPEN-FIT INSTRUMENTS:
In the past few years there have been exciting new products launched by several
of the leading manufacturers for high-frequency hearing loss. These are primarily
small behind-the-ear style instruments with a tiny wire tube that comes around
the front of the ear. These are digital circuit aids with very open, non-occluded
earpieces. Prices vary, but these instruments are generally in the mid-digital
technology price range.
This is the fourth pair of hearing aids I have purchased. The quality of sound is great, I
am able to use with my phone much easier than any of the others I have had!! I appre-
ci ate being able to order the aids at such a reasonable cost and the fact that they fit so
much better! As far as I'm concerned, you have a customer for the rest of my lifetime.

Congratulations on taking a step toward
improved hearing. Research has shown
that hearing instruments substantially
benefit most people who wear them.
But hearing instruments may not pro-
vide the same advantages to all wear-
ers. Individual hearing improvement
depends on the fit of the hearing instruments, the degree of severity of the
|
hearing loss, and the accuracy of the
patient evaluation.
Also for proper fifing of a hearing aid,
some customers may need from a
licensed hearing aid dispenser or audiologist (I) the results of a hearing
examination within the past S months
and (2) an ear impression.
