Aspect Xtra Hearing Aid
 Aspect Xtra combines two of amplified hearing's best ideas into one different, integrated system. Together, Aspect Xtra's open fit and digital technology offer an ideal blend of amplified and natural sound.
Aspect Xtra's soft, flexible earbud fits inside the ear canal. Its unique fin design provides a secure fit, yet keeps most of the sound passageway unobstructed.
This "open" fitting lets many sounds pass through naturally, without being amplified. In fact, a fully inserted earbud maintains as much as 70 percent of the canal's open volume and prevents the "plugged-up" feeling that first-time hearing aid wearers often experience.
As sounds reach the ear, Aspect Xtra's Precision Audio Imaging-based circuitry recognizes the exact frequencies needed to enhance your understanding. Its digital processor amplifies these signals, while automatically filtering out the unnecessary background sounds and eliminating the possibility of feedback.
Aspect's placement between the head and the top of the ear maximizes its sound reception capabilities and takes advantage of the outer ear's largest hiding space.
Unlike miniature BTEs , the tiny On-The-Ear ( OTE ) case, micro-thin tube and discreet earbud give Aspect Xtra an invisible appearance - comparable to today's smallest premium hearing aids. Hear better with confidence, knowing others will never see you're wearing Aspect.
Aspect Xtra Features:
- Exclusive, Lightweight On-The-Ear Design
- Instant fit earbud or Exact Fit custom earmold available
- Automatic feedback cancellation
- Automatic noise management
- Wide-band expansion
- Indicator tone for low battery
DaVinci PxP Hearing Aid
 Simply put, the DaVinci Precision Extreme Power ( PxP ) is the most powerful digital, directional, behind-the-ear ( BTE ) instrument available.

About Starkey
Starkey Laboratories got its start in 1967 when William Austin founded Professional Hearing Aid Service, an all-make hearing instrument repair service in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. After setting new standards for the way repairs were handled, Austin acquired Starkey Laboratories, a small earmold company, in 1971. With a mission to provide better hearing rather than just hearing aids, Austin merged the two businesses under the Starkey name, and eventually began making custom in-the-ear hearing aids with a then-revolutionary no-obligation trial and "worry-free" warranty.
Today, that trial period is not only common practice among manufacturers, it's a legal requirement in many US states. And Starkey Laboratories is the world's leading manufacturer of custom hearing instruments with 38 facilities in 23 countries throughout North America, Central America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and a workforce of over 4,000.
