Wearing a pair of hearing aids is definitely a blow to some people, as that means displaying an external sign of ageing (assuming gray hairs or a bald sheen have not made their appearances yet). Phonak Group from the Switzerland aims to make wearing hearing aids a more comfortable idea with it’s new line of Personal Communication Aids that comes in various styles and colors. They’re barely visible (which is good) and works great when amplifying high-pitched sounds like consonants and rustling paper that are typically more difficult to hear. Unfortunately, these hearing aids fall in the price range from $1,500 to $3,500 which pretty much puts them out of range for most people.
