Beth, from Phonak, stopped by our Elizabethtown office yesterday to show off some of their latest products.  Phonak makes the world's only titanium hearing aids.  Yes, titanium!  They are the most durable hearing aids on the market and we are now certified to make custom fit titanium hearing products right here at Pure Sound.

Phonak also offers the best hearing aid charging system on the market.  The aids charge in only 3 hours and the charge lasts for 30 hours, plus the battery is designed to last the life of the hearing aid.   No other product can make that claim.  In fact, many rechargable batteries barely make it through the day without needing recharged.

In honor of better hearing month, Beth has given us several discounts that we can pass along to you.  $500 off any custom made titanium hearing aid set or a free battery charger with the purchase of any set of rechargable hearing aids!

Phonak has been making hearing aids for 70 years now and they are on the cutting edge of technology.  We love them!
