Technology
From our cutting edge technological test equipment, and our dedication to hearing
education, Jade Hearing Instrument's technology will help you effectively maximize
your hearing ability.
Our technology gives us the ability to fit the varied and
particular needs of each individual.
FREE HEARING TEST We provide
FREE hearing test and evaluation using the latest advanced test
equipment. For this service we request an appointment due to the time required to
properly administer testing.
After testing your hearing, determination of hearing
adaptation is necessary for our next step to decide what hearing aid will best suit your
hearing loss?
EAR IMPRESSIONS Every detail, from physical size
to acoustical parameters is customized for your individual needs.
We make an
"impression" or "mold" of your ears. This allows us to custom manufacturer a plastic
shell that will only fit your ear.

How large it is or how far it fits in your ear is based on the type of
aid recommended and purchased, and the physical shape of your ear.
CUSTOM PLASTIC SHELL The plastic shell and its
manufacturing process is extremely detailed and critical in nature. If your hearing
aid does not fit right…you will never be able to use and wear it! Most plastic
shells are made of a hard tempered acrylic plastic with a custom "vent" necessary to
release pressure and/or fine-tune your hearing aid frequency response.
[image][image] Once your plastic shell
is buffed and polished it is color coded for ease of recognition. A large RED dot is
imbedded in the right aid while a large BLUE dot is imbedded in the left. The
shell(s) is/are now ready to be "loaded" or assembled (fused) to a hearing aid
faceplate, which contains the custom, tuned amplifying electronics. (see FACEPLATE)
[image] Since Jade Hearing
Instruments manufactures in-house versus outsourcing, you save time and money every
step of the way.
We have the Technology! Jade Hearing Instruments will
provide you with the best and most reliable electronics available. We incorporate
advanced technology with solid-known-proven manufacturing techniques. Once your
custom shell(s) is/are ready for final assembly, the acoustic/electronic testing and
verification procedures are initiated. The FACEPLATE
A round plastic disk, pre-assembled with a battery door, battery contacts
and made in a variety of colors is used as a foundation to wire your electronic
circuit on.

After wiring and locating certain components on the faceplate, it is tested and/or
tuned to meet your specific hearing needs. We use your hearing test results and a very
advanced computer system to compare, tune and formulate the proper results.
[image][image] [image] [image] FINAL ASSEMBLY
Your custom tuned faceplate and custom-made plastic shell are now ready to be
chemically fused together. This "sealing" process will fuse them permanently together
for wear and use, but if service is necessary, we can open your hearing instruments
and close (fuse) them again. After the sealing process, the hearing aids are
trimmed, re-polished and prepared for final inspection. Re-testing your hearing
instrument(s) ensures a quality product.
A final inspection looks for any minor flaws
incurred in production techniques and re-tests ensure the hearing aids will deliver
the desired or programmed output to accommodate your hearing loss.
