The manufacturer's latest Insio in-the-ear (ITE) instrument family made its debut at the event and has been designed for what the company said was a range of requirements and degrees of hearing loss.
'Many people with hearing loss prefer ITE devices, because they are worn discreetly right inside the ear canal. These are especially suitable for people who also wear glasses, because the hearing aid and the temple piece don't obstruct each other behind the ear,' said a manufacturer statement on the devices.
A new type of ventilation hole called Optivent has been developed for the new Insio models. The hole was said to minimise the effects of occlusion, which can make the ITE devices feel like a plug in the patient's ear and cause them to experience distortion in their own voice. In addition, the new vent was also said to ensure sounds remain natural.
