Resound Alera wireless hearing aid technology

Resound Alera

September 2010 heralded the launch of the all new Resound Alera hearing instrument. 

The Danish manufacturer Resound is well known within the audiological world as one of the leaders when it comes to technological breakthrough. Over the past 20 years they have been responsible for a multitude of ground-breaking innovations. The culmination of this is their most recent product family, the Resound Alera.

This clever device boasts perhaps the most comprehensive array of features designed to enhance the quality of life of the hearing impaired individual. Twin microphones located at the front and rear of the device enables it to focus amplification in several directions and to identify speech signals in the blink of an eye. It can then focus entirely upon the desired speech rather than background noises. Other clever innovations such as feedback cancellation and noise reduction support the rich sound quality that the hearing aid produces.

The sound processing strategy is based upon many years of research and it’s “Warp” processor is designed to mimic the function of a healthy cochlea (inner ear). The Alera’s “Onboard Analyser” actually stores important information about the wearer’s use of the hearing aid. It records the number of hours the wearer has worn the aid and even knows how long the person has spent in a particular environment.

Perhaps the most interesting feature is the ability for the Alera to send and receive signals from a telephone, mobile telephone, television, hi-fi and even computer. It does this by using a 2.4GHz radio signal to communicate with these devices.

The Alera is currently being sold at around the £2500 level from high street retailers. However, the shrewd purchaser should search online for the best price. www.hearingaid.org.uk  can provide these at under £1500 including fitting and unlimited aftercare.

Hearing Aid UK is committed to providing the best in hearing technology at affordable prices.
