Self-Fitting Hearing Aid Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

InnerScope Hearing Technologies Created the NEXUS Hearing Aid

— January 15, 2020 — Tech
InnerScope Hearing Technologies created a new hearing aid, titled the 'NEXUS,' which will be available at a number of different retail locations including Walmart, Sears, as well as Kmart. The NEXUS was designed to be a direct-to-consumer hearing aid that the customer can fit themselves. InnerScope Hearing Technologies designed the NEXUS with a self-testing system, which allows the customers to easily customize the device to fit their own hearing needs.

Making the NEXUS available at large retail locations means that the device will be widely accessible to any hearing-impaired consumers that may require the device. Additionally, it offers a streamlined hearing solution, as customers do not have to go through a lengthy testing process to optimize the device.
