For Spring/Summer 09, Leightons are teaming up with some of the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers such as Oticon, Phonak and Resound, to bring even more choice to their already sizeable range of digital hearing aids.
Leightons are helping to offer a more fashionable range of digital hearing aids, coining the description “designer digital hearing aids”, being the best way to describe some of the latest devices that are changing the stigma associated with more traditional hearing aids.
Just like today’s fashionable spectacles, that are now available for all eyesight prescriptions, the latest designer digital hearing aids are suitable for a wider spectrum of hearing losses than ever before. Similar to the world of eyewear, which has seen a movement towards fashionable and must-have sunglasses and spectacles, a similar trend is now occurring in the world of digital hearing aids.
With the growing number of younger generation hearing aid wearers, with mild hearing loss, choosing to seek help with their hearing for the first time, the era of designer digital hearing aids has arrived.
GN Resound was one of the pioneering hearing aid manufacturers who helped start the movement towards making digital hearing aids more acceptable with the launch of Resound Air, way back in 2003. Resound Air, most suitable for people with high frequency hearing loss, was one of the first stylish and small open ear hearing aids that started to change perceptions and made hearing aids acceptable for people in their 40’s and 50’s. The open fitting, or open ear hearing aids, help the wearer have a more natural sounding response and a more comfortable fitting. Resound continue to develop innovative solutions for younger hearing aid wearers with the latest stylish designer digital hearing aid be by Resound, proving extremely popular.
The movement towards hearing aid acceptability and the attraction of a younger wearer has continued and the designer hearing aid was born when Oticon released Delta, a digital hearing aid in a cleverly designed and stylish shell in early 2006. Since then, the iconic Delta has been redesigned and the hearing aid technology upgraded to provide an even better listening experience in Oticon Dual. With its nano-coated shell, Oticon Dual can be transformed in seconds to suit the wearer’s clothes and hair colour or even their mood. Oticon Dual, is also packed full with amazing digital hearing aid features to help the wearer in all listening environments and can now even connect with mobile phones and other listening devices.
Amongst the growing number of Leightons carefully selected designer digital hearing aids, includes personal listening devices from Phonak, one of the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers. Phonak has recently released a new family of stylish digital hearing aids that offer exceptional performance. Phonak Audeo Yes, is just one of this family, a small digital hearing aids that combine unique style, performance and even has mobile phone connectivity.
Leightons are helping to change perceptions about hearing loss and the negative stigma of older generation hearing aids. By working with the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers, Leightons will continue to provide designer digital hearing aids that combine stunning performance, with the finest materials and quality craftsmanship.

Oticon Dual benefits appeal to both new and experienced hearing aid wearers
New Oticon Dual appeals to first-time users who have previously resisted hearing aids. Oticon Dual’s stylish design sparks interest and opens minds, shifting focus away from hearing problems to discussion of hearing solutions and their benefits. At the same time, Oticon Dual hearing aids provide the level of performance and range of features and benefits that more experienced hearing aid users require in a highly desirable “fashion” hearing device.
Oticon Dual – the digital hearing aid that combines stylish design and great performance
Conventional hearing aids force you to choose: Great looks or great performance. But why make that choice at all? With its high-tech elegance and the benefits of natural sound quality, Oticon Dual is designed to please inside and out.
Oticon Dual capture a wider range of sounds than many other traditional hearing aids on the market - particularly in the high frequencies. Speech will sound clearer and music far richer with Oticon Dual. You’ll also have a much better idea of where you are in relation to people and objects in your environment.
When you’re active and outgoing, you need a flexible hearing aid that offers the best sound quality in a wide variety of listening situations and that’s when Oticon Dual comes in.
“Dual is unmatched in the desirable small design segment. Now, people no longer have to choose between small scale ‘beauty’ and big performance ‘brains’ when seeking a hearing device,” states Oticon President Peer Lauritsen. “Dual offers users the performance they need and the stylish, modern design they want in a range of choices, all based on Oticon’s advanced ultra fast RISE platform that delivers more bandwidth, significantly higher levels of processing power.”
