New Signia Hearing Aids Combine Convenience, Discretion, and Quality Sound

Signia’s (http://ift.tt/29sqzaU) newest hearing aids Pure Charge&Go offers wireless rechargeability and natural sound quality. With a lithium-ion power cell and an inductive charger, Pure Charge& Go can be simply placed in the charger for charging at night and will remain charged all day. The lithium-ion cell technology in this hearing aid lasts significantly longer than traditional zinc-based rechargeable batteries, even after multiple years of use, eliminating the need to change batteries frequently. Wearers can enjoy streaming up to five hours per day via Bluetooth and still have 17 hours of battery cell run time, or 19 hours of run time without streaming. Built with Signia’s Own Voice Processing technology, Pure Charge&Go is equipped to identify the user’s voice and processes it separately from other sounds and create the most natural-sounding own voice for its user.
 
Other features include access to Signia’s myControl App, which allows users to change the settings on their smartphones, and the myHearing App, which provides support, exercises, and user guides. Users can also access TeleCare, which allows them to schedule remote consultations with their hearing care professionals.

Can Listeners Hear Who Is Singing? The Development of Voice Category Perception

Publication date: Available online 2 March 2018
Source:Journal of Voice
Author(s): Molly L. Erickson, Jacob Burchard, Payton Phillips
Objective and HypothesisThis study sought to investigate if a small amount of training in identification of voices elicits the development of prototypical vocal categories.Study DesignThis study used a between-group design.MethodsThis study used an ABX paradigm where listeners heard two different singers singing “ah” at the same pitch. Listeners identified which of the two singers was the producer of a third “ah” at a different pitch. Stimuli were recorded from two baritones, two tenors, two mezzo-sopranos, and two sopranos across a 1.5-octave range. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups, one group that received a training session using voices that were different from those in the experimental session, but of the same voice category, and one group that received no training.ResultsTraining listeners with voices that are different from those of singers presented in the experiment did not significantly improve the ability to discriminate individual voices of the same voice category, but did significantly improve that ability to discriminate individual voices when the voices being compared were of different voice categories.ConclusionsSmall amounts of purposeful exposure to human voices appear to result in the beginnings of listener voice category formation, providing listeners with prototypical categories that can aid them in discrimination of novel voices of those same categories.
