Hearing Doctors of Georgia

When hearing aid technology is not enough.

            In the next several weeks Hearing Doctors of Georgia will be discussing assistive devices that can further help hearing aid users in communicative situations.  Hearing aid technology over the last decade has definitely improved. The advent of digital signal processing, multiple microphones and blue tooth capability have “open the doors” for better communication ability for hearing aid users.  Although technology is improving yearly, hearing aid users still have difficulty hearing in background noise situations such as, restaurants, social events, lecture halls and classrooms. Fortunately, a new wireless FM system has arrived on the scene that assists hearing aid users in noisy environments. 

Comfort Contego by Teltex have designed a sleek high tech personnel FM wireless communication system that enhances and improves the quality of sound.  Contego includes a receiver and transmitter unit, a stereo headset and earphone connection, power supply and additional connectors for TV, CD or MP3 players.  The system has built in Zoom omni and directional microphones and volume controls that can be adjusted by the user.

We at hearing Doctors of Georgia have had great success using the Contego in conjunction with our patient’s hearing aids.  The patients are thrilled with the added boost and clarity they experience in situations that are typically difficult such as in a lecture hall, restaurants or in the car.  Additionally, the sophisticated design of the product is also appealing to our patients.  It is not a cumbersome or bulky piece of equipment and it is easy to learn and use.  Contego is a very affordable FM wireless system ($900-950)

One of our patients is an Emory professor who used the Contego and commented on the significant improvement in speech clarity that he experienced with his students.  He also mentioned that is was a sleek instrument and easy to use.

We invite you to contact us or visit Hearing Doctors of Georgia at our 5 convenient locations in the Atlanta, Georgia area if you are interested in learning more about this product or if you would like a demonstration of its use.
