Kathleen Coates Attends International Conference on
Baby Boomers and Hearing Health
Changing attitudes About Hearing Loss with Great Performance and Good Looks
Anaheim, March 29, 2006—According to a survey conduction by the Better Hearing Institute, as many as one in two Americans over the age of 50 has a hearing problem. A six-year study by the House Ear Institute found that Baby Boomers in particular may be swelling the numbers of people with early hearing loss, due to their excessive exposure to loud rock music.
Kathleen Coates of Anaheim Hearing Center in Anaheim recently joined leading audiologists from across the United States at a conference on Baby Boomers and hearing loss in Copenhagen, Denmark. The conference explored attitudes and issues surrounding hearing loss among this new generation and looked at the newest high tech hearing solutions designed with technology-savvy, style-conscious Baby Boomers .in mind.
“Many adults will begin to see the first noticeable changes in hearing acuity as they reach their 50s,” states Coates, “In fact, every second person over age 50 experiences a decrease in speech understanding in noisy listening situations like business meetings, social gatherings and restaurants.”
According to Coates, many people in the 50-plus generation resist addressing hearing loss, often waiting until the hearing loss is seriously affecting their quality of life. For Baby Boomers, who expect to continue working or plan to stay socially active, untreated hearing loss negatively impacts work situations and relationships and can drastically affect future employment prospects.
But now, a new hearing device is changing the perception of what it means to have a hearing loss. In Denmark, Coates was among the first hearing care professionals to learn about the new Oticon Delta, a revolutionary new design in personal hearing devices, which looks more like a high tech fashion accessory than a hearing instrument.
“This is definitely not your grandfather’s hearing aid,” explains Coates. “Oticon Delta doesn’t look at all like a hearing aid. It has a fashionable, high tech appearance and a streamlined triangular shape and it’s so tiny that it’s virtually invisible when being worn. Best of all, this trendy hearing device contains some of the most sophisticated computer sound processing technology available so that it can give a significant improvement in speech understanding in noisy listening  situations.”
Delta’s cutting edge technology and fashionable good looks cater to Baby Boomers’ hearing needs and style sensibilities. Coates offers new Delta in 17 metallic and pearlescent colors including “Cabernet Red” and “Racing Green”.
“With Delta, Baby Boomers can stay active and in touch with their surroundings without feeling self conscious about wearing a hearing device,” says Coates. “They can just put Delta on and forget it—It’s that comfortable.”
