New
hearing aid available locally

Clinical Audiologist
Oticon, Inc. today
introduced ADAPTO, a new hearing aid that prioritizes the human voice
over other sounds in the environment, providing optimal adaptation to
listening environments for people with hearing loss. Using a proprietary
feature called VoiceFinder, Adapto detects the synchronous harmonic
signals of speech in noise environments and immediately processes these
sounds for maximum understanding. When no speech is detected, ADAPTO
automatically switches to a comfort mode, tuning out noise and irrelevant
sounds to protect those with hearing loss from the listening fatigue
that often results from constant "unfiltered" noise.
