It's about the size of a pea, the world's first digital
completely-in-the-canal hearing aid. Developed by Widex
Hearing Instruments, this device automatically adjusts volume,
high and low frequencies, feedback and background noise.
Cathy Kurth, a clinical audiologist in Scottsdale,
believes it will appeal to patients who have resisted
hearing aids because of the vanity factor. "Now we have
a hearing aid that provides the highest quality sound
processing with the cosmetic benefit all wrapped up in
a device that fits in the tip of your finger,' Kurth said.
