Starkey Hearing Aids Review
Your hearing loss and therefore your need for a hearing aid is unique to you and you alone.
It is a fact that age was once the primary factor in hearing loss and therefore its onset and progression was somewhat predictable, but now the primary cause of hearing loss is exposure to prolonged or loud noise and is no longer a problem just for the elderly.
Hearing loss is usually gradual and can become a factor for any age group, if you need to ask “what was just said” you probably need to get your hearing checked.
You will eventually need to navigate the labyrinth of hearing aid availability and one of those searches should include Starkey Hearing Aids. If you are a golf fan it would be well to note that the “King” himself, Mr. Arnold Palmer wears and endorses a Starkey Hearing Aid.
Two distinct models are available, one called the “Destiny” comes in the 400, 800, 1200, and 1600 series and the “Zon” 3, 5, and 7 each one in the series adding a bit more technology.
The Zon models are “receiver in canal” models and are very stylish with state of the art features like Bluwave signal processing which automatically switches the listening program to accommodate your listening environment, specifically the difficult situations encountered when driving in a car, listening to a child’s voice or eating in a restaurant.
The Zon automatically cancels feedback with a process called active feedback intercept, the Zon also has a directional speech detector which allows the wearer to locate the origin of the voices he is listening to. The Zon is designed to be an elegant looking unit with colors to suit your skin type or hair color.
The “Destiny” family has the same features as does the Zon with the exception of automatic switching but has the addition of voice indicators (male or female) to alert you to a low battery or low memory, among others.
There is a feature that allows for a functional test of the microphone circuit and a reminder feature to alert you of the need for maintenance or a visit to your audio professional. The destiny series also come in a variety of colors to blend with your hair color or skin tone.
There is no one hearing aid that is right for everyone it is therefore beneficial to do your homework and check out the various manufacturers. An examination of Starkey Hearing Aids would be a major step in finding the one hearing aid that is best for you.
