New Product of the Year 2006 Finalist for Crystal Clear - April 06

"We’re delighted to see, yet again, such a wonderfully diverse and representative shortlist of nine finalists" states Richard Clarke, Head of Rehab events at EMAP Healthcare, as Crystal Clear is shortlisted for the prestigious Naidex &squo;New Product of the Year’ Award at the UK’s premier homecare show taking place from April 25-27 at Birmingham NEC. This ingenious unit uses RF (Radio Frequency) to transfer audio sounds from the base console to the miniature PicoAntenna receiver, which users wear around the home or classroom & which has its own tiny induction loop for communicating directly to the hearing aid.

Said James Laing, Sales Director at the Livingston based company " The reach of 200 metres from the console allows users to move around their home, enjoying music or television and offering continuous listening, even when nipping into the kitchen to make tea or check how dinner is progressing. The listening quality is extremely clear and the most attractive feature for many users will be the ease of use - removing the need to put a loop around their living room carpet, or skirting board, with all the cost and hassle this entails".
