Let’s talk a bit about what hearing aid developments may come in the new year. Let’s also talk about a wish list of things we wish that hearing aids would add in 2010 but most likely will not.
What may happen in 2010. It is certain that one of the major players, maybe siemens or oticon will again push the envelope for the size of hearing aids. The battle for smallest hearing aid may never be won and we consider that a good thing. There is no doubt the new year will bring a smaller model.
What we can not guarantee is that 2010 will bring us a hearing aid that deals better with ambient noise. The reality is that there still is no hearing aid from Siemens, Oticon or any other provider that can perfectly block out the loud background noise of a crowded restaurant. This is a shame and this goes on top of our wish list for 2010, a hearing aid that can deal perfectly with background noise.
