SC has been coming to our Zephyrhills office for many years. She is a longstanding hearing aid user. Her last set of hearing aids (7 years old) had stopped working, and she was struggling to communicate. I fitted her with Starkey Edge AI 24 rechargeable receiver in the canal hearing aids because she is very active and is in many challenging listening environments. These hearing aids employ Edge Mode to improve hearing in noisy places. They are also very natural-sounding hearing aids. They offer Bluetooth if you would like to connect to a cell phone. They even have Fall Detection!
After one week of use, she returned to the office very pleased with how well she was hearing. She commented that she had been at a “small” luncheon of about 100 people in a clubhouse and that she understood everything. She did not have to make one adjustment to her hearing aids! She had been to restaurants and to social gatherings and was hearing great!
Today’s hearing aids are far superior to hearing aids from even just 7 years ago. The amount of work that they do behind the scenes without any input from the user is amazing. I always tell my patients “Leave them alone and give them a chance to do their job without any interference from you!”
