Knowles and Lucid Hearing, a hearing aid company, have partnered to bring the hearing health industry the Westone Audio High Fidelity DWT, a hearing aid with a Receiver in Canal (RIC) that delivers “exceptional sound quality for music listening.”
Robert Bishton, BC-HIS, says we have recently seen the introduction of what could be called “Superfecta” hearing aids: instruments that come in a cosmetically pleasing small RIC/RITE form-factor, are rechargeable, equipped with wireless connectivity (to smartphones, remote mics and TV streamers) as well as a built-in telecoil.
The “self-contained irrigation unit heats water to body temperature to help avoid vertigo effects and gives the practitioner the ability to control pressure and flow within a safe limit.”
The new feature is part of a firmware upgrade to Listen EVERYWHERE, the award-winning wireless system that streams audio and customized content directly to smartphones and smart devices.
Energous’ WattUp wireless charging technology is based on radio frequency (RF), which helps provide “a number of benefits for wireless charging, including the ability to fit into small form factor products and devices without flat surfaces.”
The research team believe that the new fabrication process could result in a generation of ultralightweight, flexible electronics for wearables and sensors.
The results of the study show that the area of the ear canal called the "first elbow" is closely linked to noise attenuation by earplugs.
The kits contain 30 squares of cleaning putty, 10 sanitizing alcohol wipes, a magnifying glass, and two delicate brush heads.
“The Minneapolis Star-Tribune” reports that over 200,000 people have joined a mass tort against 3M, alleging that Aearo’s Combat Arms earplugs “were knowingly defective, imperceptibly loosening and leaking in noise.” The Combat earplugs were acquired by 3M as part of its $1.2 billion purchase of Aearo Technologies in 2008.
