Next Generation Hearing Aid Technology
The next breakthrough in hearing technology has finally arrived in the form of the Widex Clear 440 Hearing Aid. The official launch in the UK for the Clear is not until mid-October but Ebor Hearing are delighted to announce that we have been selected as a pilot site to offer demonstrations and trial fittings in advance of the launch.
The Clear is a premium Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) hearing aid which incorporates the next generation of wireless connectivity to devices such as mobile phones and televisions. Bluetooth technology has previously been used by hearing aid manufacturers to connect to such devices, but this has its limitations. Widex in Denmark have developed their own wireless technology to deal with the data and signal transfer between the hearing aids and other devices. This new breakthrough offers echo-free TV viewing with no signal delays, clear sound quality for programmes and clear speech on a mobile phone, all delivered through the World's smallest 100% wireless RIC hearing aids. Through Widex Link the Clear also offers true inter-ear communication between the left and right hearing aids. A pair of Clear 440s deliver 3D TruSound which more closely replicates natural localisation of sounds. There is also an option to manually select the direction which the hearing aids pick up speech from, which offers definite advantages in situations such as conversation in a car. The hearing aids will reduce the effect of the engine noise and can directly focus either to the side to hear the driver from the passenger seat, or to the rear to hear speech from the back seats.
To discover just how clear the Clear 440 hearing aids are and for demonstrations on the benefits of wireless connection with TVs and mobile phones please contact one of our branches. We are one of the few hearing aid companies that are able to offer FREE demonstration fittings in advance of the official launch from Widex UK. This is your chance to be among the first people in the country to experience the next generation of hearing instrument technology. We will be holding dedicated open days to showcase these hearing aids in due course, but in the meantime if you would like to get a first look and listen book an appointment today quoting 'Clear Demonstration'.

Open Days in June
.jpg)
We'd like to invite you to a very special series of Open Days in June where we'll have a Hearing Health Specialist on hand to run an information session on the latest technical developments in hearing aids. On Tuesday June 22nd Mr. Alan Clark FSHAA will be available to discuss how the next generation of digital technology can take your hearing to another level. Alan has many years experience in the hearing industry and along the way has helped hundreds of hearing aid users come closer to the real world of sound.
We are also pleased to announce that another Specialist Mr. Ian Arnold FSHAA will be hosting an information day in Scarborough on Tuesday 29th June and in Harrogate on Wednesday 30th June. Ian brings his own wealth of experience having managed a successful hearing aid business that has been in the Arnold family for over 60 years!
During these open days you'll have the opportunity to speak to Alan or Ian and find out how new hearing aids such as the Oticon Agil with it's breakthrough multidimentional sound processing, are making speech understanding more immediate so that cognitive energy is readily available for everyday interactions. No more missing out on what is being said. You can participate actively in conversations and follow them from the beginning.
• You can organise sounds so you know where they come from and make sense of your surroundings effortlessly and intuitively.
• Listen to the TV or radio at the same volume as everyone else using hearing aid accessories such as Oticon Connectline, can give you hassle free use of modern lifestyles devices, like TV, telephone and
mobile phone.
Alan explains: “People with hearing loss often struggle to hear and identify sounds meaning they use a considerable amount of energy to follow even the most casual of conversations”. It takes them more time and more energy to reflect on the meaning of sounds, to remember the flow of a conversation and to respond before the conversation has moved on.”

World Cup Fans Risk Hearing Loss
Fans at this Summer's Football World Cup in South Africa are putting their hearing at risk thanks to the locals' way of creating atmosphere and fun during the matches.
South African fans first started using the Vuvuzelas in the early 1990s as a way of intimidating opposing teams. The noise makes it difficult for players to communicate with coaches on the touchline, as well as each other on the pitch. It is something that all players, staff, commentators and visiting fans will need to get used to at the tournament.
However, in stadiums that will be holding over 60,000 spectators, the noise levels will be excessively high! Prolonged exposure to this noise over the course of a full game will put people at risk of hearing damage. Opinion is divided on the use of Vuvuzelas. There have been many people calling for them to be banned due to the distraction it presents to the players as well as the communication difficulties it can cause. Others believe it is such an important part of the culture in South African football games that to ban them would bring a significant reduction in atmosphere and fun for the home supporters.

Prepare your ears for the 3ft long, 127-decibel ‘vuvuzela’ – a £2 plastic trumpet which will provide a deafening background to the tournament.
It is louder than a chainsaw, noisier than a lawnmower and even more ear-splitting than a referee’s whistle – and it could damage your hearing in as little as 15 minutes.

Find out why festival goers are risking their hearing
More than half (53%) of festival goers believe loud music has damaged their ears,according to a recent poll.Four out of five have also experienced warning signs that they may have put their hearing at risk.
A total of 84% of people questioned has suffered dullness of hearing or ringing in the ears after listening to loud music.
Half (50%) had also experienced pain in their ears while listening to loud music, yet only 17% had ever taken steps to protect their hearing such as by turning the music down, stepping away from speakers and taking regular breaks.
The poll, for the RNID’s Don’t Lose the Music campaign, was carried out among 2,711 music fans at the Glastonbury, Latitude, Rise, Reading and Leeds festivals.
Emma Harrison, from the campaign, said “These results issue a stark warning about the UK’s future hearing health.
“Volume levels at festivals can reach levels over 110 decibels – that’s the same as a jet plane taking off. Repeated listening at this volume will cause premature hearing loss.”
A new campaign to save the hearing of our school children is being launched. With a fresh approach aimed at teenagers aged 13 to 18, the Noise Abatement Society is raising awareness about the danger of permanent hearing loss due to continuous exposure to loud music in the ears from MP3 players.
They say that it could be common place in 2020 to see one in ten 30 year olds wearing a hearing aid and unable to listen to an MP3 player anymore because of irreversible hearing damage.
Through the Love Your Ears campaign, the Noise Abatement Society is visiting schools with an interactive display to help students experience for themselves how loud they are listening to their MP3 players.
Deafness Research UK states that “A third of people under the age of 35 have experienced ringing in the ears, a sign of hearing damage, after listening to loud music”.
