Hearing And Listening Optimisation (HALO)

01/01/1970

Today's hearing aids are extremely capable devices - they're more like personalised listening computers, than "hearing aids". But to get the best out of them, they need to carefully fine-tuned and adjusted to match the way you hear sound. Your brain also needs time to learn how to best use the new sound it's getting.That's why we've developed H.A.L.O.™ - our exclusive Hearing And Listening Optimisation Programme - to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your new hearing technology.H.A.L.O.™ has three key stages, each part designed to optimise a particular aspect needed for successful hearing:Firstly: understanding the way you hear sound, what you want to use your hearing for, and identifying any constraints that might limit your potential.Secondly: optimising the tuning on your hearing aids, to ensure they are correctly aligned with your hearing, and so they react appropriately in 'real life' situations. Also we want to be sure you know what you're doing with them!Thirdly: improving your own brain's listening skills in challenging environments such as groups, fast talkers and competing background noise, with a home-based software/DVD course called LACE that's been clinically proven to provide up to 40% improvement in listening skills.
