America Hears Digital Hearing Aids
America Hears, Inc. and its predecessors, Authorized Hearing Systems and Ototech, LLC, have served the hearing health care industry since 1979 offering a variety of products and services.
Our hearing aids are high quality, sophisticated, state-of-the-art digital instruments that feature ADRO® technology (see below) and rival all high end units available today for a fraction of the price.
They are programmed to your hearing loss prior to shipping and can be adjusted in our fitting center or via the internet with a programming kit that is available with each order.
There are four basic hearing aid styles to choose from. Receiver-In-The-Ear (RITE), Open Fit (OF), Behind-The-Ear (BTE), and Custom In-The-Ear (ITE).
America Hears ADRO Digital Hearing Aid Technology
A hearing aid is essentially a small computer that receives and processes sounds for a user. And like any computer, its software is its core.
The sound processing software used in hearing aids is referred to as algorithms. Algorithms allow hearing aids to be programmed to the specific requirements of each user and adjusted as those requirements change over time.
AHI uses a proprietary version of Advanced Dynamic Range Optimization (ADRO) digital sound processing algorithms exclusively. ADRO was designed by Peter Blamey, the physicist who developed the sound processing algorithms used in cochlear implants. Instead of using compression technology, which simply compresses sounds, ADRO continuously performs sophisticated analyses and applies fuzzy logic rules to optimize the output of hearing aids. The result is increased comfort for the user and improved speech perception in all listening environments.
Using ADRO digital sound processing instead of compression technology enables AHI hearing aids to provide naturally amplified sound. Independent studies have shown that 74% of the respondents prefer ADRO to compression because of its distinct superior sound quality and speech perception.
So what does this all mean for you? Natural sound quality with enhanced speech understanding, automatic and instantaneous adjustment in ever-changing environments, and effortless intelligibility and comfort in noisy situations.
