As opposed to
the Melody A1 model which has 2 channels, the
Melody A2 model has 4 channels for processing
sound, providing an increase in clarity of the
sounds transmitted to the eardrum. The Melody A2
is able to rectify most hearing losses up to the
following decibel limits:
All of our Melody
Hearing Aid are designed with an advanced Over-The-Ear (OTE) open-fitting
design. The open fit design provides a personalized fit and excellent
wearing comfort. The sleek, smooth, feather-light
design provides advanced technology and reduced occlusion
for outstanding performance.
The patent pending design addresses the needs of individuals who have a wide range of hearing loss, especially high frequency loss. Because of the slim lines and available colors, the Melody

Just like
equalizer bands on a stereo, the Melody A2
model has 12 bands of
frequencies that can be adjusted to best meet your hearing
loss. Amplifications at each frequency are pre-set at the factory
for the most common hearing loss curves
but will be customized if you provide an
audiogram.
4

With or without custom programming, you
will be able to toggle through 4
amplification settings by tapping on the
battery door: 1 beep - Normal
listening, 2 beeps - Telephone, 3 beeps

speech from someone speaking out of a
room full of noises

speech without distortion. Also
increases amplification of soft speech
normally not detected.
Look-ahead detection
Checks
micro-seconds ahead for loud sounds and
dampens them so they don't affect the

10 bands of layered noise reduction
which responds to noise of all intensities
Look-ahead detection monitors signal
path for loud transients and reduces gain in advance of oncoming
transients; nearly eliminating signal clipping due to loud transients.
Automatic
threshold levels in each of the 4 channels from 40 to 70dB
