Sonic Innovations:

SONIC innovations designs, develops, manufactures and markets advanced, digital hearing aids that are intended to provide the highest levels of satisfaction for hearing impaired customers. Capitalizing on our advanced understanding of human hearing, we developed patented digital signal processing ( " DSP " ) technologies and embedded them in the smallest single-chip DSP platform to be installed in a hearing aid.

For decades, hearing aid technology was limited to basic analog amplification. In other words, "your grandfather's hearing aids." In the late 1990s, all of this changed when the new digital age was ushered in. Three world renowned scientists took on the project of creating cutting-edge mathematical algorithms and tiny, digital micro processors with the sole purpose of enabling the hearing impaired to hear sound like no other aid could provide. Their scientific breakthroughs led to the founding of SONIC innovations.

SONIC innovations quickly became the fastest growing hearing aid company in the world, and was quickly catapulted into international recognition.

SONIC innovations produced:

+ The first digital aid of its kind clinically proven to improve speech understanding in noise.
+ The first digital noise reduction algorithm to improve speech understanding in noise.
+ The first digital hearing aid to outperform analog aids in matched head-to-head field trials.
+ The first directional aid to produce additional benefit from a digital noise reduction algorithm.

2005 S.M.A.R.T. TechnologyT, a breakthrough in digital hearing aid design, which incorporates a suite of systems that constantly measure the listening environment and reacts within milliseconds to transparently adapt before important communication is lost. This clinically-proven technology allows patients to easily interact in their changing environment.
2006 ionT, the smallest, most powerful open ear hearing aid available. The ionT family of products is the realization of superior design and unparalleled technology. A leader in cosmetics, comfort, and clarity, ionT has become the open ear product of choice for both hearing care professionals, and hearing aid wearers across the globe.
2007 VelocityT, our premium automatic hearing aid, combines a sophisticated set of breakthrough algorithms allowing it to seamlessly react to any environment. With VelocityT, hands-free operation is now a reality. No hassles, no distracting sounds, no worries-just better hearing.

Building upon this success, SONIC innovations continues to grow with over 700 employees worldwide, operating in nearly 30 countries across the globe.
