HSDC Offers Revolutionary New Hearing Aid Technology
Seattle’s Hearing, Speech & Deafness Center is one of the first clinics in the United States to be certified to fit the breakthrough hearing aid known as the Oticon Syncro. An entirely new breed of hearing aid, Oticon Syncro uses artificial intelligence to mimic the way the brain processes sound. Making as many as 17,000 intelligent calculations and adjustments per second, Oticon Syncro significantly improves speech understanding in difficult sound environments such as busy streets, offices, or crowded restaurants.

Chris Borders MA-CCC-A, Director of Audiology at the Hearing, Speech & Deafness Center, joined 300 leading hearing care professionals at a national technology conference to learn how to use Syncro’s multi-media interactive software to ensure her clients receive the maximum benefit of the hearing aid’s advanced technology. “With Oticon Syncro, I am better able to help my clients hear more of what they want to hear and less of what they don’t,” stated Ms. Borders.

Like the human brain, Syncro can detect whether it is hearing a human voice or just noise. It can also determine from which direction a sound is coming, how loud a sound is and even whether or not the wind is blowing. The Oticon Syncro then analyzes all of these incoming signals, selects desirable sounds such as voice or music and at the same time works to suppress annoying noises.

“Just as we know that every hearing loss is as unique as a fingerprint, we know that each patient has a unique sense of lifestyle needs and desires when it comes to getting the most from their hearing aid,” explained Borders. “Whether their priority is enjoying a round of golf with friends, going to business meetings or taking part in church activities, Syncro allows clients to fully participate in selecting a fit that is perfect for them.”

The Oticon Syncro is available in a full range of cosmetically attractive, small styles. For more information, please us contact at:
