A Review Of The New Melody A3 Open Fit Hearing Aid
Posted on January 2nd, 2010 in General, Health And Fitness, Home And Family, Product Reviews, Society | No Comments »
Melody has long been in the business of creating hearing aids for the elderly and hard of hearing. Melody has a new model out, the A3, which combines the latest technologies with comfort to make for one of the most delightful hearing aids on the market today.
The Melody A2 and Melody A1 are similar models, but have notable differences from the A3. The Melody A3 is set apart from its dual microphone technology that creates a “3D” sound instead of the flat mono sound that is created with most hearing aids. The best part is that sounds can be judged from distance and direction more effectively- a vital upgrade that none should be without.
Filters are present in the Melody A3 that make for easy listening. If you are trying to focus on a quiet conversation in the midst of a noisy family gathering, you will encounter some inevitable problems. The Melody A3 works to balance out noise levels and filter out background noise that you have no need to amplify. It results in crystal-clear quality matched by few.
Over the ear designs, or OTE, aren’t always the most comfortable. The Melody A3 was designed with lightweight materials that make it feel as though it isn’t even there- and it’s able to contour to the ear to make it quite forgettable. In addition, the Melody A3 currently comes in three colors that can either match the contrast of one’s skin or offset it for a stylish design. OTE designs are among the easiest to care for and maintain.
The need for a hearing aid depends from one person to the next. While one person may only have a moderate hearing loss, others might have extreme or minimal hearing loss to worry about. The Melody A3 can cater to all levels of hearing loss, as it is stated to facilitate hearing aid for those with up to 110 dB in hearing loss. It’s certainly a very robust model, but sometimes even more extreme hearing loss can be apparent, and you may have to look at other opportunities.
There are three current models of the Melody line of hearing aids. The A3 is the most potent, and thus the more expensive option. The A3 is currently $875, although this is subject to change in the future. The A2 and A1 models are less expensive, but also don’t have all the features that the A3 does. Deciding between one over the other isn’t always easy, so enlist the help of retailers for aid.
In Conclusion
The Melody line of hearing aids has been long revered as one of the best hearing aid lines for its price. The developers continue to research and create better technologies to include in future releases, making it an exciting time for those with hearing loss to find help.
