Miracle-Ear

Sixty years ago, in 1948, Ken Dahlberg started a company that would go on to revolutionize the hearing aid industry. Mr. Dahlberg, a World War II aviator turned electronic inventor, created the pillow radio for hospital patients' private listening. This inspired the founding of Dahlberg, Inc., which became the foundation of Miracle-Ear.

A few short years later, Miracle-Ear invented the smallest hearing aid of the time — it was the first hearing aid to fit entirely in the ear, without any cords or tubes. Since then, Miracle-Ear has continued to introduce innovative technology to remove the barriers of hearing loss. Hearing aid size has been reduced and technological improvements allow customization of a hearing solution to an individual's hearing loss profile. Additionally, Miracle-Ear’s customer service practices ensure that you are completely satisfied with the products and support you receive from your Miracle-Ear representatives nationwide.

Kay Scroggins, Odessa’s Miracle-Ear representative, has been helping people with their hearing for more than 20 years. “In the last few years, there have been many advances in hearing aid technology,” Kay says. “One new advance is the open fit instrument.”

Benefits of the Open
Fit include:
• More natural looking,   thanks to the clearly in-  conspicuous thin tubing
• More natural sounding   because the Open Fit de-  sign doesn’t “plug up”   the ear canal
• Comfortable to wear be-  cause the tiny, light-   weight receiver tucks   neatly behind the ear
• Convenient one-visit fit-  tings (no molds to make)  let you walk out with   better hearing the same   day
 
In addition, digital technology has advanced hearing aid capabilities enormously. Custom listening programs, background noise reduction, digital feedback cancellation and directional microphones are just a few of the options available on hearing aids today.

Miracle-Ear offers many other types of hearing related products including amplified telephones, TTYs, television amplifiers and FM systems. Custom earmolds, either for hearing aids or a specialized need such as a musician’s earmold, can be ordered. Batteries and repair services for most makes of hearing aids are also available.
