About The Hearing Loss Association of America - Tampa Chapter
HLAA is a volunteer international organization of hard of hearing people, their relatives and friends. It is a nonprofit, non-sectarian educational organization devoted to the welfare and interest of those who cannot hear well.Otologics, Inc. Begins Clinical Trial
Otologics, Inc, has just begun a clinical trial in the Tampa area for a new fully implantable hearing device.
The Otologics Fully Implantable Hearing Device may let you lead a more active life. Traditional hearing aids may prevent you from enjoying the activities you love – like swimming, aerobics, or playing tennis. For many, a hearing aid restricts activities because it has to be removed before participation. This is not only a nuisance – it can leave you without good hearing during those activities. Unlike traditional hearing aids, this device is surgically implanted under the skin. Nothing is worn in the ear canal and no part of the device is visible externally. Because the Otologics Fully Implantable Hearing Device is completely concealed, you can freely participate in activities without worrying about your hearing device being damaged.
