Axio ST and HearLens Provide Innovative New Options for Hearing Aid Wearers

Carrollton, Texas, May 15, 2010 — Hearing Haven is proud to announce that it is one of the first to offer MicroTech's Axio™ ST and HearLens™. Axio ST is MicroTech's newest innovative hearing aid family featuring the most sophisticated noise reduction and speech preservation system in the industry. HearLens is an entirely new style of hearing aid – the first custom, completely invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) digital hearing aid featuring the technology and signal processing of Axio ST.

"We are excited to offer this new technology and hearing aid style to our patients," said Bob Bare, Founder and President of Hearing Haven. "Advancements in technology give hearing aid wearers more options to find the instrument that is best for both their hearing losses and lifestyles." "Our staff members will be attending advanced training sessions at the Microtech headquarters located in Eden Prairie, MN, so they can fit these new products and maximize their features", he added.

Axio ST features SpeechTrax, a new noise reduction and speech preservation system that is so fast and smart it is designed to reduce noise between syllables of speech and can be a solution to the biggest problem many wearers have with hearing aids – hearing speech comfortably in noise. SpeechTrax is designed to hold speech volume up and push background noise down, meaning that the wearer hears more of what they want to hear, like conversations, and less of what they don't, including wind and noise. SpeechTrax is paired with MicroTech's industry-leading feedback canceller, which is designed to virtually eliminate annoying buzzing and whistling, as well as other advanced features that provide superior performance. The Axio ST family includes a complete line of custom and standard hearing aid options.

HearLens is a custom-molded hearing aid built using MicroTech's Comfort Fit process and lives in the second bend of the ear. Meaning, HearLens is truly 100 percent invisible and conquers vanity concerns associated with yesterday's hearing aids. HearLens features the advanced technology of Axio ST, is designed to be removed daily to promote better ear health and allows wearers to change the batteries on their own without needing additional tools or visits to their hearing care professionals. HearLens can be used for a wide range of hearing losses.
