Concha labs has do over -the -counter hearing aids Since 2017, marketing only one product – the Concha Sol.
THE hearing aids Have a familiar design, a classic configuration behind the ear with a simple switch control at the back of each. CONCHA TAKES in particular its personalization: the floor is available in your choice of four colors, and can be configured with lead wires in four different sizes, although it is noted that many competing hearing aids have lead wires which can be adjusted on the fly and replaced by larger or smaller.
At the time of your order, CONCHA works to convert hearing aids in size of your ears, complexion and color of your hair (if you are lucky enough to stay), maximizing the probability that they blend and adapt correctly. I received the gray model with the longest wires available and measured the weight of these devices at 2.03 grams, which is very light for hearing aids behind the ear.
Replacement batteries
The main reason behind such a light weight is the largest drawback on the ground: the replaceable batteries. It is a bit of a non-start in the world of hearing aids today, and it is surprising that Concha Labs always clings to a model of discoloration power which requires that the annoying user by sliding in a new pair of small batteries every 5 to 7 days. Although the replaceable batteries offer a much longer lifespan than even the best rechargeable cells (as well as the lighter weight above), they are always workers from which little appreciate. (The last search I saw, from 2021, showed that 70% of hearing aid users prefer rechargeable audience systems.)
Assuming that you agree with a replaceable battery system, the Concha Sol has a lot for them. It starts with the adjustment. CONCHA does not use predefined sound profiles like most over -the -counter aid. Predefined profiles are preneminate frequency forms based on thousands of historical hearing tests that people have taken over in years. These audiograms are averaged and a handful of representative audiograms are loaded on the equipment. When you pass an integrated hearing test, the application determines which of these audiograms is closest to yours and loads the appropriate corrections in the hearing aid equipment. It’s not perfect, but for most users, it’s pretty good.
CONCHA has an audience test integrated into its application, but it is completely unlike the typical hearing test, where you listen to pings at different frequencies and volumes until a complete image of your hearing loss develops. After a few initial levels, the Concha system, called Soundscope, asks you to listen (with each ear) to repeated speeches extracts, then identify if the sample A or the smill B sounds best. It’s like an examination of sight, only for your ears.
