Hearing Aids: The Brain Connection Hearing aid signal detection does not guarantee perception. A perceptual event is dependent on not only the integrity of the signal at the level of the ear, but also how that sound is coded and integrated using multiple networks in the brain.

Egans welcomes Oticon OPN!

OTICON OPN - Available now at Egans

Oticon has released its Oticon Opn™, characterizing it as a paradigm shift in hearing aids that combines breakthrough technologies proven to enable people with hearing loss to experience less listening effort and enjoy better speech understanding.

Powered by the Velox™ platform, the newest BrainHearing™ solution from Oticon employs an “open sound” approach to manage multiple speech and noise sources, even in complex listening situations. The company says the new OpenSound Navigator™ scans the environment 100 times per second to analyze and balance every sound individually. Environmental sounds are said to be accessible, but not disturbing.

Opn open deviceWith this open sound experience, Oticon reports that it makes traditional directionality, designed to focus on the main sound in front and suppress background sounds, a thing of the past. Users can now focus on a conversation while staying attentive to people and things around them, and switch focus quickly and easily.

It only makes sense to take care of your hearing health, just as you care about the rest of your health. Because there’s a lot more riding on it than your hearing.

It's about more than hearing
Advanced hearing loss is also associated with a variety of serious medical conditions including:

Heart and cardiovascular disease: The negative influence of impaired cardiovascular health on both the peripheral and central auditory system has the potential to affect an individual’s capacity to hear.

Diabetes: Hearing loss is about twice as common in adults with diabetes.

Cognitive function, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease: Studies show that older people with hearing loss are more likely to develop dementia, and that hearing loss is associated with a faster rate of cognitive decline.

Depression and anxiety: Hearing loss can lead to isolation and other emotional conditions that can affect both quality of life and mental health.

Chronic kidney disease: Research has shown that people with moderate chronic kidney disease have a higher prevalence of hearing loss. BOOK AN APPOINTMENT *FREE HEARING TEST*
