Digital hearing aid.Phonak, Inc., introduces [Claro.sup.TM], a next-generation digital hearing aid A hearing aid that processes sound in digital form.

The product of six years of intensive research and development at Phonak's R&D facilities in Switzerland, this new hearing computer cuts through room noise with technology never before available in a hearing instrument. Claro features a first-of-its-kind Adaptive digital [AudioZoom.sup.TM] system that automatically activates in noisy environments to screen out extraneous ex·tra·ne·ous adj. 1.

Together, these two features offer a major advance in enabling hearing aid wearers to extract speech from background noise. The instrument adjusts automatically to quiet and noisy environments. |
