Hearing Loss. The Miley Cyrus Haiti Mission Trailer
Haiti Mission Trailer with Miley Cyrus The Starkey Hearing Foundation embarked on a life-changing mission to Haiti after the earthquake to give the gift of hearing to more than 500 children affected by profound hearing loss. Renowned singer and actress Miley Cyrus volunteered on the mission, joining our efforts at Institut Montfort School for the deaf in Port au Prince, Haiti. Cyrus’s hard work and spirit were a special part of the mission and—as this short clip reveals—had joyous results. Starkey Hearing Foundation’s Haiti Hearing Mission was one of the many conducted each year both domestically and internationally. All Starkey Hearing Foundation missions include the distribution of hearing aids and batteries, custom fittings, audio testing, and counseling on how to care for the devices to individuals in need that are affected by hearing loss. The Foundation will return to Haiti on mission with Miley Cyrus in 2012 to continue worldwide efforts to share the gift of hearing with those who have hearing loss. “I grew up around music with my brothers and sisters and couldn’t imagine what it would be like if we couldn’t hear the magic of music — it’s had such an influence on my life — so I want everyone to have the ability to enjoy sound as it was intended.” The 18-year-old actress won a silent auction over the weekend at the So The World May Hear Awards Gala that would send her back to Haiti on her second hearing mission. “After I went on my first mission to Haiti with the …

The Advantages Of Digital Hearing Aids Compared To Analog Hearing Aids
Hearing aids (www.hearaidstore.com), until recently, used analog signal processing. While these older analog instruments may still be available, nearly all hearing aids recommended today rely on digital hearing technology because of these advantages Lightweight and comfortable — Digital electronics allow amazingly complex technologies to reside in a small, barely noticeable instrument. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) — Digital hearing aids can analyze an incoming sound, classify it into a category (such as speech, music, background noise, or feedback), then trigger the features that best manage that sound. Noise Filtering Technology — Identifies background noise and reduces it in comparison to primary listening sounds, providing increased speech clarity and listening comfort. Directional Technology — Turns down sounds coming from behind and around the sides of you. This helps direct your hearing to the sound you’re facing like the person you’re speaking to, a television, or a live performance. HearAid products feature the same components and digital hearing technology found in much more expensive hearing aids. It is not unusual for us to hear from our customers that a HearAid sounds as good as, if not better than, a traditional hearing aid they’ve tried that costs thousands more www.hearaidstore.com.
