The Atlanta Hearing Doctor, Dr. Maria Wynens, is One of the First Hearing Care Practitioners in the US to Offer the New Oticon Intiga Hearing Aid

    ATLANTA, GA, September 30, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Residents of Atlanta, Georgia, may soon be hearing a lot less of some familiar expressions at social gatherings, noisy restaurants or business meetings: "Pardon me?" "Can you repeat that?" "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said."

Dr. Maria Wynens, the Atlanta Hearing Doctor, recently attended a professional conference in Orlando, FL, that introduced a new hearing device that is specifically designed to address the needs and preferences of people new to hearing instruments. Results of a recently released international study conducted at two universities, Towson University in Maryland and The Horzentrum in Oldenburg, Germany, show that new Oticon Intiga triggers immediate acceptance by people new to hearing instruments.

"This challenges the commonly held myth that it takes time to get used to hearing aids," says Dr. Maria Wynens. "With Intiga, I am finding people who were reluctant to try hearing aids not only accepting their new hearing solutions immediately but also seeing themselves as long term users of amplification."

The Atlanta Hearing Doctor is one of the first hearing care practitioners in the US to offer Oticon Intiga. "Intiga delivers immediate and obvious benefits to first time users," says the Atlanta Hearing Doctor. "Intiga's advanced technology combined with its sleek ergonomic design and miniature size can motivate people with hearing loss to take action now to improve their quality of life."

In addition to quality of life benefits, Intiga also appeals to the almost universal desire for a hearing instrument with discreet size and style. Intiga's small, sleek ergonomic design hides easily behind the ear and is comfortable to wear throughout the day. The fully automatic technology also means there are no buttons to adjust.

Wireless connectivity allows Intiga to connect wirelessly to cell phones, becoming a virtual hands-free headset. With addition of the Oticon ConnectLine system, audio from televisions and landline phones can be streamed directly to the hearing instruments. The discreet ConnectLine clip-on microphone can be used with Intiga to enhance a user's ability to engage in one-on-one conversations in difficult listening environments.

Intiga is available in 13 colors ranging from subtle shades that blend to complement natural skin and hair tones to more vibrant contemporary colors including terracotta, vivid lilac and natural henna.

"I always encourage people to consider a trial of new hearing instruments," adds the Atlanta Hearing Doctor. "The international study provides an added incentive to make that trial with new Intiga."
