PurTone Hearing Centers Helps Baby Boomers Look as Sharp as They Hear

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

Edward Maznio, President of PurTone Hearing Aid Centers in Phoenix aims to change forever the perception of hearing aids among the 50-plus generation. With the help of a new, state-of-the-art digital hearing aid with a groundbreaking new design, he plans to show adults beginning to experience hearing loss that getting the hearing “boost” you need, doesn’t mean giving up on looking as good and as young as you feel.

 

“Every second person over the age of 50 experiences loss of speech clarity in noisy listening situations such as work, social gatherings and crowded restaurants,” Mr. Maznio states. “They may still hear well enough to get by in less demanding situations but more and more, they will find that they are understanding less of what is being said.”

 

A fear that hearing aids will make them look older and out of step with their active, busy lifestyle prevents many adults from taking advantage of the extra edge provided by hearing amplification. Now,  PurTone is offering a new groundbreaking hearing device with sleek lines, hot colors and brushed metallic surface that appears to have more in common with modern high-tech communication devices or fashion accessories than traditional hearing aids. Called Oticon Delta, this state-of-the-art digital hearing device combines eye-catching contemporary design with the most advanced hearing aid technology available today.

 

“This is not your grandfather’s hearing aid,” explains Mr. Maznio. “For the first time, I can offer patients a hearing device that meets the important image and style demands of people in the 50s and 60s and provides the needed boost in listening clarity for mild to moderate hearing loss.”

 

New Oticon Delta comes in seventeen different brushed metallic colour styles, ranging from “Cabernet Red” and “Artic Blue” to “Racing Green” and “Wildlife” that give this sleek and fashionable hearing device a new attitude for a new generation of hearing aid users.

 

Edward Maznio is hopeful that Delta’s innovative good looks will encourage adults experiencing early hearing loss to give hearing amplification another look. “With Delta, even the most image-conscious adults can easily stay active and in touch with their surroundings without having to worry about missing something. They can put Delta on when they need it and just forget about it,” Mr. Maznio states.
