Sonic Innovations Delivers Superior Hands-Free Operation with Velocity(TM)
SALT LAKE CITY, April 19 /-- Sonic Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCI), a leading producer of advanced digital hearing aids, today announced Velocity(TM), its new premium digital hearing aid product family at the American Academy of Audiology National Convention and Exposition. Velocity combines a sophisticated set of breakthrough algorithms to provide the hearing impaired consumer with outstanding hands-free operation in a variety of listening environments.
The automatic and adaptive systems offered in Velocity give hearing impaired consumers the ability to use their hearing aids "hands-free." Using environmental sound cues, Velocity is able to automatically adjust the hearing aid settings to best meet the challenges of a particular listening situation, without requiring the wearer to press a button.
Velocity is the result of continued research with hearing care professionals and hearing impaired consumers, and delivers on Sonic Innovations' commitment to develop and introduce the latest hearing aid technologies. Velocity features patented digital signal processing and advanced noise reduction, patent-pending adaptive directional technology, automatic directionality, adaptive feedback cancellation and several advanced user options, including patient-friendly voice alerts and automatic telephone listening settings that are activated when a conventional telephone is held to the ear. These advanced technologies seamlessly combine to provide a robust listening experience for hearing aid wearers.
"The hearing aid industry is moving toward products that focus on ease-of- use for the hearing impaired consumer," said Sam Westover, President and CEO of Sonic Innovations. "With Velocity, hearing care professionals can offer their patients a product with superior hands-free operation unrivaled by competitors."
Velocity will soon be available for order.
