Baby Boomers…The New Senior Citizens???

Wednesday - August 15, 2007

It’s official. The age of the “Baby Boomers” as senior citizens is upon us. Who would have thought that the same folks pictured in Time magazine cavorting at Woodstock will soon be ready for social security ? It gives new meaning to the old adage “time flies”.

Baby Boomers evolved during an unusual period in our history. They are the by-product of an industrialized society . They were weaned on “hard rock” music . It seems that they have been bombarded by loud noise their whole lives. As a result, they are far more prone to have a hearing loss than any generation before them. Because of their vast numbers, the market place has been catering to “boomers” for the past 40 years. It should come as no surprise that special new hearing devices have been developed just for them. Former president Bill Clinton is one such “boomer” benefiting from this new technology.

Help is Here

Hearing loss, even a mild hearing loss, can be annoying and lead to miscommunication. This can lead to tension and misunderstanding. Who needs this added stress in their life?

It certainly doesn’t have to be that way.

Different and Better

These specialized hearing devices are very small and usually go unnoticed when worn. They are designed with sophisticated digital circuitry to enable the user to hear and understand conversation in all but the most difficult background noise situations. They overcome many of the problems encountered by users of ordinary hearing aids. As a result of this new technology, you have a comfortable, discrete hearing device that really helps you hear what you need to hear. Clinical tests indicate up to 40% better understanding using this new technology. One of the main reasons for the acceptance of this new technology is comfort. Unlike conventional hearing aids they do not fill the ear canal so there is no “stuffy” feeling.

New “Shadow” Leads the Way

The tiny new “Shadow” is one of the latest entries in this fast growing field of hearing devices. The virtually invisible “Shadow” is specifically designed as a “personal communication device” or PCD for short. For those just realizing that they may not be “getting it all” in a conversation the “Shadow” may just be their ticket to better listening clarity. The big advantage of the

“Shadow” is the low price. It is priced at less than half the cost of similar products, yet it has the same key features. It is available in Hawaii exclusively at Ohana Hearing Care. If you have been thinking of doing something about a mild communication problem the “Shadow” may be your answer. Of course it is nice to know that Ohana Hearing Care always offers a written low price guarantee
