Oticon OPN™ S
The biggest challenge for people with hearing loss is understanding speech in noisy environments when multiple people are speaking at the same time. Oticon Opn S breaks the limits of what you thought possible with hearing aids.
Previous hearing aids dealt with noisy environments by focusing on one speaker, such as a person right in front of you, while suppressing all other sounds. The technology in Oticon Opn S gives you access to the relevant sounds around you, including speech, and puts you in charge of which sounds you want to focus on.
Proven to provide even better speech understanding with less effort in noisy environments than our previous generation of hearing aids, Opn S lets you take an active part in difficult listening situations – just like people with normal hearing.
What’s Included with
Empire Hearing Aids
At Universal Audiology, our Empire Insurance Hearing aid program includes payment in full for your hearing aids every four years. We include a 4-Year Repair Warranty with all hearing aids in The Empire Program. This means your hearing aids are insured against damage for the entire four years before they can be replaced again under your Empire Insurance.
Our office processes all claims to Empire Insurance for payment for the hearing aids. As always, all fittings at our office include a 45-day trial to ensure the proper fit and selection.
After an audiological evaluation at our office by a NYS licensed audiologist, we will explain the benefits of the different options available to you. Once you decide which hearing aid to test out, we will make all the necessary adjustments and fine-tuning changes to ensure a proper fit. As always, follow-up, checkups, and adjustments for the life of your instruments are included with your Empire Insurance coverage.
