It's all about staying connected! ❤️👂

Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely family meal at the The Shepherd and Dog in Onehouse, supporting one of our local pubs.

One of our family members wears Signia hearing aids, and with everyone gathered around a larger table, we put the Signia StreamLine Mic to good use. The microphone picked up voices around the table and streamed them directly to the hearing aids, helping our loved one follow the conversation and feel more involved.

It’s a great example of how the right hearing technology and accessories can make a real difference — particularly when eating out or getting together with family and friends.

With the festive season fast approaching, many of us will be enjoying Christmas parties, family meals and catch-ups with friends. For those who find group conversations challenging, these occasions can sometimes be difficult, but there may be solutions that can help.

At All About Hearing, we believe hearing care is about more than simply hearing sounds; it’s about staying connected to the people who matter most.

If you or someone you love struggles to follow conversations, our friendly, local team is always happy to chat about the options available, with no pressure.

Because everyone deserves to be part of the conversation!

🦻 𝗥𝗲𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗮 – 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱

In the latest of our technology review series, we are looking at the new Sensia hearing aid from ReSound.

Now, one of the most interesting ideas behind Sensia is remarkably simple: Turn your head towards the person you want to hear!

Four microphones — two in each hearing aid — work together to focus on the direction you're facing.

ReSound's own study produced some striking results. When several people were speaking in noise, the person directly in front was identified as the most audible 54% of the time with Sensia, compared with 38% with a competing premium hearing aid.

When the person in front was actually quieter, the difference was even greater: 31% versus 4%.

Another clever feature is the way Sensia uses AI selectively for speech, rather than trying to process every sound.

Auracast is also already functional, rather than simply “ready for the future”.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲?

The interesting part isn't simply “AI”. It's how several technologies work together to help you focus on the person you want to hear.

We will see how that translates into everyday life as we begin fitting ReSound Sensia ourselves in October.

“Four Deep Neural Networks.” It sounds impressive, but what does it actually mean?

In simple terms, the all-new MaX platform from uses four AI systems to analyse speech, your own voice, the surrounding environment and unwanted noise — constantly assessing what is happening and adjusting accordingly.

So, rather than simply selecting a “restaurant” programme, the hearing aids are designed to keep adapting as the conversation and background noise change. This is a brilliant move forward in hearing technology!

𝗜𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜, 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?

Well, who is to say?!

Signia are the top of their game as the four-DNN approach is genuinely interesting, so we expect to say — yes!

MaX also brings some useful practical features, including 360° Classic Bluetooth, LE Audio, telecoil and Auracast support, alongside around 30 hours of battery life.

We will be fitting the Signia MaX ourselves over the coming weeks, so we will soon start building our own experience of how it performs in everyday life.

🎶 What a wonderful evening at the East Rotary Club's night at the Proms! 🎶

Earlier this week, we were delighted to join the Ipswich East Rotary Club for their annual Night at the Proms, a fantastic evening bringing local people together for music, entertainment and plenty of community spirit.

As proud sponsors of the event, it was lovely for us to be there in person — helping with the refreshments, chatting with guests and doing our bit to make sure everyone had a really enjoyable evening.

There was a wonderful atmosphere throughout, with lots of smiles, singing and, of course, flag waving!

We are proud to support events like this that bring people together and create opportunities for older members of our community to enjoy an evening out, connect with others and simply have a great time.

A huge thank you to everyone at Ipswich East Rotary Club for putting on such a brilliant evening, and to everyone who came along and helped make it so special.

Over the next few posts, we are taking a closer look at some of the latest hearing aid releases from the industry's biggest manufacturers — and this is the first in our series.

We are starting with Phonak EON.

One of the biggest challenges with hearing loss is the auditory figure-ground problem — in other words, picking out the conversation you want from everything else happening around you.

Phonak's new EON platform is designed to tackle this, with updated feature: Spheric Speech Clarity 3.0, AutoSense OS 8.0 and the new HYPERSONIC chip.

This new chip has helped make the flagship EON Sphere 25% smaller and 20% lighter, while still delivering Phonak's speech-in-noise processing. There are also improvements to wind-noise management, connectivity and a longer rechargeable battery life.

𝗦𝗼, 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆?

The size reduction is impressive, with early independent reviews suggesting EON is more of an evolution of the previous Sphere model than a completely new approach to hearing in noise.

That's not a criticism, as I've found out over the years, technology doesn't have to be revolutionary to be a worthwhile improvement!

As one of the first independent practices in the UK to begin fitting the Phonak EON, we will be interested to see whether the improvements translate into noticeable benefits for our own patients over the coming weeks. Exciting!

👄 It's Lipreading Awareness Week!

We often think of hearing as being all about what we hear. But communication is much more than sound.

For many people with hearing loss, lipreading is an important part of understanding what’s being said. Watching someone’s face, picking up visual clues and seeing their expressions can all help fill in the gaps when speech isn’t completely clear.

And lipreading isn’t just about silently watching someone’s lips. It’s a skill that can help people feel more confident in conversations, particularly in situations where hearing is more challenging such as busy restaurants, group conversations or when someone is speaking from a distance.

📍If you would like to develop your lipreading skills, there are local classes starting this October, including sessions in Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Beccles, as well as an online option. Classes are run by the Hearing Advisory Service.
