THE PROBLEM:
THAT
BLOCKED-UP FEELINGWhen your clients start talking about
how “my voice
sounds hollow”, “my voice echoes”, or “I sound like I’m talking in a barrel”, you know there is a serious
threat to their satisfaction. In fact, occlusion-related complaints are among the top three reasons*
for client rejection of hearing instruments. Occlusion
is also one of the greatest barriers to the use of bilaterally fitted instruments, depriving many wearers
of the benefits of hearing with both ears and resulting in auditory deprivation of the unaided ear.
And last but not least, occlusion is a significant barrier to the growth of your business. *Source:

THE
SOLUTION:
TRULY
OPEN INSTRUMENTSDespite
the negative effects of occlusion, most professionals avoid prescribing open-fitted instruments for
the majority of their clients. Why? Because simply putting a vent into an ordinary digital instrument
brings with it a host of problems such as bulkier appearance, runaway feedback and unacceptable compromises
in gain. GN ReSound is the first manufacturer to focus on
the unique
requirements of open instruments. We’ve designed wide-open venting systems in all our instruments, and
we’ve invented a special set of hardware and software technologies called ComforTec™. Together these
innovations deliver the comfort, feedback-free gain and cosmetic discretion demanded for successful
open fittings.
