Latitude Hearing Aids by Unitron Hearing

Unitron Latitude, the next step. Unitron started with the Element Series and then improved that with the Next Series. Now with the Latitude Series Unitron continues its attention to producing the best hearing aid technology at a great price level to the hearing impaired.

Go to the "Select Product Line" dropdown box to the right to find pricing on the Latitude Hearing Aids.

Two big features, noise reduction and feedback reduction, are improved in the Latitude series over the Next series just as the Next series was an improvement over the Element series.

Be sure to visit our "Features" and Compare/Models tabs above for a better explanation of the differences between the Latitude 16, 8 and 4.

Unitron is on a faster pace than most manufacturers to introduce improved technology while still keeping prices reasonable. The new Latitude series introduces a midline priced hearing aid technology as a great price alternative to Unitron’s top of the line Passport series.

Latitude Hearing Aids by Unitron Hearing

Latitude series by Unitron is an update of Unitron’s mid range Next series. In our opinion Latitude offers one of the best values in the hearing aid market place. Undated technology means better performance in noise and less irritation from feedback.

Over the long haul if your hearing aids don’t drive you nuts in noise and don’t irritate you with feedback they are close to being a winner. If they don’t cost an arm and a leg while at the same time giving top performance then you do have a winner.

Latitude by Unitron is a winner!

Small = Hearing aids that use size 10A
batteries Medium = Hearing aids that use 312
batteries Large = Hearing aids that use size 13
batteries Full size = These hearing aids use
size13 batteries and have larger components for
higher power.
Wind noise is an important feature for those that
spend time in the outdoors by reducing the roar of
wind across the microphone. This feature is
improving but is not effective in gusty wind
conditions.
Microphones are the electronic component that
picks up sound. Microphones are very small and
can be made to pick up more sound in one direction
than all others. This is called a directional
microphone.
Remote controls for hearing aids are small enough
to comfortably fit in a pocket. A remote control
will enable more functions than can be put on a
hearing aid itself.
Controls on hearing aids usually have one or more
of: 1 A momentary button used to change from one
memory to the next 2 A button used to increase
the level of volume 3 A rocker switch where
pushing on one end does one function while the
other end does another function 4 A wheel that
will control volume
For a hearing aid to be classified as Totally
Automatic, the device will have the ability to
choose from multiple memory settings (based on
programmed noise settings) chosen solely by the
hearing aid.
Volume control is generally considered to be a
manual adjustment that the user can control. All
hearing aids have automatic gain control designed
to make soft sounds audible and loud sounds
tolerable. This is done automatically within
limits programmed into the device.
Multiple memory settings can be programmed into
the aid to give the user the ability to cope with
changing sound and noise environments with the
push of a button.
RIC (receiver-in-the-canal) hearing aids have the
speaker located at the end of the tube that goes
into the ear canal rather than in the body of the
hearing aid and then “piped” into the ear canal.
RIC hearing aids have slightly higher fidelity of
sound, but have higher level of maintenance, as
well.
Human speech ranges in frequencies roughly from
250 to 6000 Hz. Hearing aids are built so that
this group of frequencies (250 to 6000 Hz) is
divided into smaller groups, called bands or
channels. The overall spectrum of frequencies
can be controlled individually, and each of the
smaller bands/channels can also be controlled
individually.
The two most common technologies used in hearing
aids are analog and digital. Digital is newer and
considered to be much more flexible, capable of
doing more operations, and the only technology
used in modern hearing aids.
Conventional Hearing Aid Batteries cost less than
a dollar per battery and are very easy to change.
DAI is only on Large and Full Size hearing aids
due to the need for terminals on the outside of
the case. Using DAI allows other devices to
connect directly to the hearing aids and input
their audio signal.
Being able to couple your hearing aids with a
BlueTooth-enabled device, such as a cell phone,
allows phone conversations to be heard through
your hearing aids.
Communication from one hearing aid to the other is
a very low strength signal designed to keep both
hearing aids operating in the same mode at the
same volume.
Telecoils help with telephones that are rated
hearing aid compatible.
This feature helps make hearing aids acoustically
comfortable by ramping up sudden loud noises, such
as a dropped dish.
Acoustic Feedback, is also known as squealing,
buzzing, ‘your aids are talking to you’, etc.
Technology to separate voices from other sounds is
continuously being improved. Each manufacturer has
a patented process and trademarked name for noise
reduction.
