The Melody A3 is an example of a hearing aid that does everything right, and at a price that is affordable to even those on a limited budget. The devices, approved by the FDA and made in the United States, have been creating quite the stir among health communities.
The introduction of the Melody A3 brought rave reviews for a simple reason: it featured a dual microphone in the ear piece that allows for stereo-like sound. Much like a surround sound system is in a different class than the mono sound from an old television, these hearing aids provide a completely different experience. Previous models such as the Melody A1 and A2 do not have this upgrade.
Noise filtering efficiency has been worked on with the Melody A3 model. Noise filtering is the process of taking out background noises, so that sound from intended sources of audio can be clearly heard. Background noise such as static, crowds, ambience, and noisy environments can be filtered out to a certain degree with the Melody A3.
The Melody A3 is extremely lightweight, and since it is an over the ear design, it will also be very comfortable for the end user. The designers created a feather-light design that can be taken off and on like a breeze. However, those who buy the device are recommended to obtain an audiogram, so don’t skip this important step before deciding to purchase the Melody A3. Most physicians can conduct an audiogram.
The device itself was created for those with minimal to extreme hearing loss- effectively allowing most cases to be the benefactor when using the device. The system can accommodate a maximum hearing loss of 110 dB, which is quite phenomenal compared to other devices. Doctors will likely position clients to order less powerful devices if their hearing loss is minimal, but keep in mind that the extra features might not be featured with cheaply made models.
There are three current models of the Melody line of hearing aids. The A3 is the most potent, and thus the more expensive option. The A3 is currently $875, although this is subject to change in the future. The A2 and A1 models are less expensive, but also don’t have all the features that the A3 does. Deciding between one over the other isn’t always easy, so enlist the help of retailers for aid.
