The Ion Digital Hearing Aid, available from Sonic Innovations , is an open ear aid which enables users to hear both the amplified sounds from the hearing aid and the surrounding natural sounds. Open ear hearing aids are small and unnoticeable. The case secures itself behind the patient’s ear and a clear, thin tube extends into the ear canal. These can be customised to suit individual needs and provide more hearing power.
Ion also features Advanced Directional Systems which offers greater amplification of sounds from the front and reduces unnecessary noise from behind. Feedback Management Technology reduces the whistle or squeal that tends to be heard with hearing aids. Also included is Noise Reduction, which minimises any loud background noises.
