MAXUM Benefits
Hearing aids have limitations because they use a speaker to amplify sound. Some of this amplified sound can escape from the ear canal and get picked up by the hearing aid’s microphone which causes feedback, an obnoxious squealing sound. To manage feedback, it is necessary to plug up the ear so that less sound can escape which can cause occlusion. When the ear canal is plugged, amplified sound waves from the hearing aid speaker reflect and bump into each other causing a distorted or unnatural sound quality.
MAXUM Changes That
MAXUM is speakerless! The MAXUM System utilizes an advanced electromagnetic coil and implant which directly drives the inner ear to “amplify” sounds providing cleaner, crisper sound quality and more amplification while reducing or eliminating feedback and occlusion.
