Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, and welcome to the weekend. This is Listen
and Learn. I'm Danny and with me is Concept by
Iowa Hearing Instrument specialist Cat Klower Cat, Welcome to listen
and learn.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Good morning, Happy Saturday, Happy end of August. I can't
believe Iowa Hawkeye football starts today. I'll be there cheering
for the Hawks, so I kind of feel like a
little bit end of summer and start a fall a
little bit. And we've got some awesome news to share
today too.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's right, a little tease for that. You're going to
want to stick around for this. But let me just
first initially let you in on how you receive a
complimentary hearing exam from Concept by Iowa Hearing Aid Centers,
and that is to call them and schedule your appointment
eight seven seven six three two thirty six ninety. That's
eight seven seven six three two thirty six ninety. You
(00:54):
can even schedule at their website that's Iowa Hearing dot
Com again Iowa Hearing dot com. Either way, make sure
you get it scheduled by one o'clock. The promo you're
qualifying for three hundred and fifty dollars off per device.
On their best level or best package and twenty four
(01:14):
months no interest financing with approved credit if you call
on schedule by one o'clock today. It's a win win
for everyone. And of course the little caveat we're going
to be talking about a little data on so I'm
super excited about that. But I'm always excited to talk
to you Kat about hearing and health and how to
keep it at its best. And whenever there's new technology
(01:37):
out there, I know I can count on you to
bring it to the forefront.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yes, I'm here today to talk about some great exciting things.
So if you're listening, you may want to turn up
the radio notch because this is definitely something you want
to be listening to and tuned into. So Concept has
new product, and I feel like a little kid because
(02:02):
I'm so excitsied about birth. So before we get into
the new product, I am going to say a little
goodbye to the Aqua because I did love our Aqua product.
It had a lot of great features and I love
that they're keeping some of my favorite features of the Aqua.
(02:26):
So I'm going to go through those before we get
into what's new about the new So what they're keeping
that I always liked is that with the best Level,
you can enjoy the convenience of a fully automated hearing
aid that adapts to your sound environment. So simply put,
(02:47):
I'm all about easy. With the Best Level, it's going
to automatically adjust for you. You just put it on
and go. And then the other thing that they are
keeping is you are able to pair up to eight
Bluetooth devices with the new product, and you can have
two devices simultaneously paired. This is great because you know,
(03:14):
people have multiple devices now. They have some people have
a home phone or excuse me, a personal cell phone,
they have a work phone, they have a laptop, they
have an iPad, so there's all kinds of bluetoothe happening there.
And of course with the Aqua, because of the name,
it had that waterproof, dust proof feature, and just going
(03:39):
to really quick go over that because this is something
that kept and this is I think so important because
what I've really noticed in real life and in my
clinic is we saw such a reduction in repairs because
people who are out in the elements, like our farmers,
(04:00):
our alignment, our construction workers, or just anybody with an
active lifestyle you know they're out golfing, playing pickleball. Think
of last week, how hot it was, how humid it was.
And the external housing has a hydrophobic plasma coating that
(04:21):
in electrical components have a perylene coating, and perylene is
what they use to coat pacemakers. And they have an
additional protection for the battery compartment. Now these are rechargeable,
but they're still a battery in it, so they have
extra coating around that. They have improved microphone reliability due
(04:45):
to a double sided inlet that protects the microphones. And
I've talked about this before, like if someone were to
spray you with water, it protects those microphones. And this
new product has already under on ten thousand hours of
rigorous testing. And what they tested for They were looking
(05:08):
for organic material, aging testing, humidity testing, shock testing, charging
context test, electronic aging test, condensation tests, and chemical resistance tests.
So we're making these to last and be durable and
(05:29):
to be foster free, I guess, is the best way
to put it. Another feature of the Aqua that we
are keeping moving forward is the speech and Hanser and
I know I've talked about this. We're going to in
a little bit here really get into speech and noise,
because we know that's where everybody struggles. But in reality,
(05:50):
we spend a lot of time at home. And what
the speech enhancer does is it makes it easier to
hear soft speech, and what I mean by that is whispering.
Maybe your granddaughter leans over and wants to whisper something.
It makes it easier to hear that, and it also
makes it easier to hear speech from a distance in quiet.
(06:13):
This is such a great feature because rarely do people
when they want to say something to you walk right
in front of you and then start the conversation. It
would be great if they did that, yes, but in
reality that's not what happens. You know, they're in the
kitchen doing something, or they're you know, walking into the
room and saying something. So that has been a wonderful
(06:37):
feature that I've enjoyed. They also have motion sensor, meaning
it can detect whether you're standing or you're moving to
help you hear better and noise because imagine being at
a cocktail party. Sometimes you're standing, but sometimes you're on
the go. And they also have a feature for my
patients who have lost their high frequence hearing, I can
(07:01):
activate a feature making it easier for them to hear
high pitch sounds. It actually takes those sounds in those
missing frequencies and moves it to where they have usable hearing.
So these have been all great things with the Aqua
that we are keeping moving forward. And I am about
(07:22):
to go into what is new new and you want
to be listening, and you want to be listening because
Danny's going to give their promo again and she's going
to give the surprise promo as well.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I feel yeay, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The number to call Concept by Iowa Hearing Centers eight
seven seven six three two thirty six ninety eight seven

o'clock and Dunta da da du dun dunda. Also if
(08:26):
you schedule you're hearing exam before September sixth, and you
complete an in office demo of the new products, which
of course the new product we've been talking about. You
will be entered into a drawing for two tickets to
the Indiana Fever versus the Los Angeles or Las Vegas Aces,
which is Wednesday, September eleventh in Indianapolis. Oh, this is
(08:50):
six I don't know how you pulled this Offcat, but
I'm super excited for this.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, this is really exciting. And it probably goes without saying,
but in order to be entered for this, you do
need to have hearing loss, because of course we're not
going to be demoing the new product on you if
you don't have hearing well.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, which absolutely makes sense.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But I want to clarify that, and I want to
remind people that Monday is Labor Day and we are
not working, So you need to schedule you're hearing evaluation
this coming Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and we have
openings in the Davenport clinic. We have openings in our
Clinton clinic. And I just checked in case you're living
(09:37):
a little bit further away. I know for sure there's
openings in our debut clinic. So you've got options. We've
got openings. Pick up that phone and call you.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Know, Kat, you guys are low. Yeah, you're located all over.
I'd drive to Des Moines to be entered into that drawing.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I'm just saying, okay, and it gets better. Let's talk
about this new product. So I feel like this is groundbreaking.
Since I've been working, I've gone through a few things
and products that I felt were groundbreaking, and for me,
really the first one was reliable rechargeability with the hearing aids.
(10:20):
I am all about that philosophy. Let's keep it simple
and you know, changing a battery every couple of days.
I just I don't like that nonsense basically. So when
they came out with the hearing aid and that was
our concept recharge that had that reliable charging, that was
(10:40):
a game changer for me. The other thing that I
think was a big game changer is when they came
out with Bluetooth connectivity. And now today we have our
new products. It is called sphere, so sp H E
R E. So think of kind of a round object
(11:03):
around area and I'll kind of get into that in
a little bit but it has a new chip called
the Ara chip that has seventy four percent more RAM
for faster processing compared to the Aqua, and thanks to
the Aer chip, Bluetooth connectivity has improved. It provides six
(11:28):
times more wireless transmission power, streaming two times a distance,
and a seamless transition between Bluetooth streaming and your regular
listening mode. Sometimes there'd be just a few second delay
when you'd switch from Bluetooth streaming to kind of like
regular listening mode. And now it's seamless, and now we're
(11:50):
going to get into the Sphere. So it has two
sound processing chips in. It has the new Era chip,
and it has the groundbreaking deep Sonic chip, which is
the first AI chip dedicated solely to separating speech from
(12:14):
noise drop the mic. Because this is great, this is great,
and this is where everybody struggles. You know, even people
with normal hearing can relate. It's always harder in groups
and crowds as opposed to quiet, and then you add
in hearing loss and it just becomes that much harder.
(12:36):
And with this Sphere product, you are not going to
find another product like this for probably the next three years.
This is groundbreaking technology. So this chip has deep neural
network sound processing with fifty three times more processing power.
(12:56):
It was trained with twenty two mills billion sound samples
for nuanced sound recognition. So what does this really mean? Okay,
so sound processing chips and hearing aids up to this
point in time, when you've got speech and noise, they
(13:17):
would work kind of what I think of as being forming.
I think of like a flashlight. You get a noise,
and the flashlight comes on and it's going to highlight
the speech in front of you and calm the noise
outside that being with the sphere, you get speech understanding
(13:37):
from any direction and noise, hence the name. And I
have spent the last week doing in office demos and
I am woud and patients are wowed. And you know,
for my patients who are already wearing hearing aids, we
(13:58):
do a down with a busy restaurant sound file and
they wear their old aides and I sit in front
of them and we have a conversation and they do
fairly well. And then I get up and I walk
around while I'm talking, and most people either don't know
I'm talking or if they're aware I'm talking, but have
(14:22):
no idea what's been said. And then we do the
same thing. We put the sphere on, I sit in
front of them, we talk. I stand up and walk
around them in this restaurant noise, and they are able
to repeat what I am saying. And I'm going to
tell you I'm not easy. I don't get up and
(14:44):
say how's the weather today? Isn't it hot? Or do
I say how are you doing today? I talk about
very specific things because then I know they truly have
heard and understood what I said. And this has been amazing.
So pick up that phone and call get the great
(15:07):
discount and get entered into that drawing for the beaver ticket.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh my goodness, and you're I'm being wowed and I'm
not even in your office trying them out. But what
you're telling me is just it's amazing technology. Here's the thing.
If you haven't had a hearing exam, okay, in at
least five years, I mean you've got to come in
and check these out. You are going to be wowed.
(15:31):

thirty six ninety eight seven seven six three two thirty

that you could receive. All right, So you can see
all the locations, you can find out more about concept,
and you can find out more about the topics we
often talk about on Listen and Learn. So here's the
promo that you're going to qualify for once you have

this week because that's how you get the caveat on
top of this. But the promo is three hundred and
fifty dollars off per device on their best level package

You've got a call by one o'clock today to get scheduled,
(16:37):
and I would definitely do that since they're closed on
holiday Monday. Also, once you schedule that hearing exam, and
again you have to do it this week Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday Friday too, I think, Kat, but you've got to
have it in before September sixth, All right, complete that
in office demo of the new product. Of course, you
(16:58):
have to have hearing loss in order to have that demo,
and then you're going to get entered into the drawing
for two tickets to the Indiana Fever versus the Las
Vegas Aces, which happens Wednesday, September eleventh in Indianapolis. I
couldn't be more excited for somebody. I just wish I
could swoop in and grab those tickets out of their hands.
(17:19):
But it's going to be a great time. And of course,
as we talk, I'm excited about that, I'm excited about
the new products. I'm excited about the fear Kat.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yes. So I'm just going to remind everyone who's listening,
and maybe they're thinking they have somebody they know family
in another area of the state and they want them
to come in and demo this fhear. We have locations
from central Iowa all the way over to the Mississippi River.
We have a clinic and aimes west of Wine Pleasant Hill,
(17:52):
which is the East Wine area, Palla Grenelle, Ascaloosa, Corravoe, Marshalltown, Dubuque, Clinton,
and Davenport. I think I got most of them, and
if you're not, if I missed one, just go to
our website hiwa hearing dot com and check out the locations.
(18:14):
And you know, this is exciting stuff. It's exciting for
people who are new to treating their hearing loss because
they're going to be getting state of the art, groundbreaking technology.
And for people who already wear hearing aids, they're going
to notice a dramatic difference. You know, we can do
(18:37):
the demo, as I said, with their current devices, and
then the demo with the sphere and you are going
to be surprised. And I've been kind of waiting to see,
uh what kind of reaction we got in the office.
And I will say I did test them out, but
(19:00):
I didn't want to say anything, so I have other
people kind of touch them out. I tested them at
the Varied Industry Building at the State Far and anybody
who's been in that building knows there's probably about a
thousand people there. Especially when it gets warm. You know
they're escaping the heat and they're coming in that building,
(19:20):
and you know you can hear the person in front
of you, but you really, you know your co worker
on the side talks to you, you really can't hear them.
You got to get up from your chair and walk
over to them because there's just so much noise happening.
And when you put on the sphere, you could be
(19:41):
facing forward and the person to the side would talk
to you and you could hear and understand what they're saying.
It was so exciting. Oh yeah, okay, so let's kind
of get into I'm just going to kind of go
over this again because it's a lot of information. So
what may makes the sphere groundbreaking number one better speech
(20:05):
and noise hearing not only from the front but from
any direction. This device has two sound processing chips, an
improved processing chip with seventy four percent more RAM compared
to the previous model, but in addition that groundbreaking deep
(20:28):
sonic chip that has AI training with twenty two million
sound samples, so it helps recognize speech and noise and
you can hear it from any direction and that you're
just not going to find anything like this for a
couple of years to come, and it's just exciting. I'm
(20:53):
excited to be a part of it. I'm excited to
demo it. I'm excited to see the look on people's faces.
And then the follow up phone calls that I've been
making with the patients who have it, telling me, you know,
the week before I had gone to church and I understood,
you know, twenty percent of what was being said. And
(21:15):
now with the spear, I go to church and I
understood about ninety percent of what was being said. And
for a person who and this person has a severe
hearing loss, this is huge. You know, to enjoy those
things that you like doing and understand and hear what's
(21:36):
happening around you, just great, wonderful stuff. Pick up the

(08:26):
you schedule you're hearing exam before September sixth, and you
complete an in office demo of the new products, which
of course the new product we've been talking about. You
will be entered into a drawing for two tickets to
the Indiana Fever versus the Los Angeles or Las Vegas Aces,
which is Wednesday, September eleventh in Indianapolis. Oh, this is
(08:50):
six I don't know how you pulled this Offcat, but
I'm super excited for this.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, this is really exciting. And it probably goes without saying,
but in order to be entered for this, you do
need to have hearing loss, because of course we're not
going to be demoing the new product on you if
you don't have hearing well.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, which absolutely makes sense.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But I want to clarify that, and I want to
remind people that Monday is Labor Day and we are
not working, So you need to schedule you're hearing evaluation
this coming Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and we have
openings in the Davenport clinic. We have openings in our
Clinton clinic. And I just checked in case you're living
(09:37):
a little bit further away. I know for sure there's
openings in our debut clinic. So you've got options. We've
got openings. Pick up that phone and call you.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Know, Kat, you guys are low. Yeah, you're located all over.
I'd drive to Des Moines to be entered into that drawing.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I'm just saying, okay, and it gets better. Let's talk
about this new product. So I feel like this is groundbreaking.
Since I've been working, I've gone through a few things
and products that I felt were groundbreaking, and for me,
really the first one was reliable rechargeability with the hearing aids.
(10:20):
I am all about that philosophy. Let's keep it simple
and you know, changing a battery every couple of days.
I just I don't like that nonsense basically. So when
they came out with the hearing aid and that was
our concept recharge that had that reliable charging, that was
(10:40):
a game changer for me. The other thing that I
think was a big game changer is when they came
out with Bluetooth connectivity. And now today we have our
new products. It is called sphere, so sp H E
R E. So think of kind of a round object
(11:03):
around area and I'll kind of get into that in
a little bit but it has a new chip called
the Ara chip that has seventy four percent more RAM
for faster processing compared to the Aqua, and thanks to
the Aer chip, Bluetooth connectivity has improved. It provides six
(11:28):
times more wireless transmission power, streaming two times a distance,
and a seamless transition between Bluetooth streaming and your regular
listening mode. Sometimes there'd be just a few second delay
when you'd switch from Bluetooth streaming to kind of like
regular listening mode. And now it's seamless, and now we're
(11:50):
going to get into the Sphere. So it has two
sound processing chips in. It has the new Era chip,
and it has the groundbreaking deep Sonic chip, which is
the first AI chip dedicated solely to separating speech from
(12:14):
noise drop the mic. Because this is great, this is great,
and this is where everybody struggles. You know, even people
with normal hearing can relate. It's always harder in groups
and crowds as opposed to quiet, and then you add
in hearing loss and it just becomes that much harder.
(12:36):
And with this Sphere product, you are not going to
find another product like this for probably the next three years.
This is groundbreaking technology. So this chip has deep neural
network sound processing with fifty three times more processing power.
(12:56):
It was trained with twenty two mills billion sound samples
for nuanced sound recognition. So what does this really mean? Okay,
so sound processing chips and hearing aids up to this
point in time, when you've got speech and noise, they
(13:17):
would work kind of what I think of as being forming.
I think of like a flashlight. You get a noise,
and the flashlight comes on and it's going to highlight
the speech in front of you and calm the noise
outside that being with the sphere, you get speech understanding
(13:37):
from any direction and noise, hence the name. And I
have spent the last week doing in office demos and
I am woud and patients are wowed. And you know,
for my patients who are already wearing hearing aids, we
(13:58):
do a down with a busy restaurant sound file and
they wear their old aides and I sit in front
of them and we have a conversation and they do
fairly well. And then I get up and I walk
around while I'm talking, and most people either don't know
I'm talking or if they're aware I'm talking, but have
(14:22):
no idea what's been said. And then we do the
same thing. We put the sphere on, I sit in
front of them, we talk. I stand up and walk
around them in this restaurant noise, and they are able
to repeat what I am saying. And I'm going to
tell you I'm not easy. I don't get up and
(14:44):
say how's the weather today? Isn't it hot? Or do
I say how are you doing today? I talk about
very specific things because then I know they truly have
heard and understood what I said. And this has been amazing.
So pick up that phone and call get the great
(15:07):
discount and get entered into that drawing for the beaver ticket.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh my goodness, and you're I'm being wowed and I'm
not even in your office trying them out. But what
you're telling me is just it's amazing technology. Here's the thing.
If you haven't had a hearing exam, okay, in at
least five years, I mean you've got to come in
and check these out. You are going to be wowed.

You've got a call by one o'clock today to get scheduled,
(16:37):
and I would definitely do that since they're closed on
holiday Monday. Also, once you schedule that hearing exam, and
again you have to do it this week Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday Friday too, I think, Kat, but you've got to
have it in before September sixth, All right, complete that
in office demo of the new product. Of course, you
(16:58):
have to have hearing loss in order to have that demo,
and then you're going to get entered into the drawing
for two tickets to the Indiana Fever versus the Las
Vegas Aces, which happens Wednesday, September eleventh in Indianapolis. I
couldn't be more excited for somebody. I just wish I
could swoop in and grab those tickets out of their hands.
(17:19):
But it's going to be a great time. And of course,
as we talk, I'm excited about that, I'm excited about
the new products. I'm excited about the fear Kat.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yes. So I'm just going to remind everyone who's listening,
and maybe they're thinking they have somebody they know family
in another area of the state and they want them
to come in and demo this fhear. We have locations
from central Iowa all the way over to the Mississippi River.
We have a clinic and aimes west of Wine Pleasant Hill,
(17:52):
which is the East Wine area, Palla Grenelle, Ascaloosa, Corravoe, Marshalltown, Dubuque, Clinton,
and Davenport. I think I got most of them, and
if you're not, if I missed one, just go to
our website hiwa hearing dot com and check out the locations.
(18:14):
And you know, this is exciting stuff. It's exciting for
people who are new to treating their hearing loss because
they're going to be getting state of the art, groundbreaking technology.
And for people who already wear hearing aids, they're going
to notice a dramatic difference. You know, we can do
(18:37):
the demo, as I said, with their current devices, and
then the demo with the sphere and you are going
to be surprised. And I've been kind of waiting to see,
uh what kind of reaction we got in the office.
And I will say I did test them out, but
(19:00):
I didn't want to say anything, so I have other
people kind of touch them out. I tested them at
the Varied Industry Building at the State Far and anybody
who's been in that building knows there's probably about a
thousand people there. Especially when it gets warm. You know
they're escaping the heat and they're coming in that building,
(19:20):
and you know you can hear the person in front
of you, but you really, you know your co worker
on the side talks to you, you really can't hear them.
You got to get up from your chair and walk
over to them because there's just so much noise happening.
And when you put on the sphere, you could be
(19:41):
facing forward and the person to the side would talk
to you and you could hear and understand what they're saying.
It was so exciting. Oh yeah, okay, so let's kind
of get into I'm just going to kind of go
over this again because it's a lot of information. So
what may makes the sphere groundbreaking number one better speech
(20:05):
and noise hearing not only from the front but from
any direction. This device has two sound processing chips, an
improved processing chip with seventy four percent more RAM compared
to the previous model, but in addition that groundbreaking deep
(20:28):
sonic chip that has AI training with twenty two million
sound samples, so it helps recognize speech and noise and
you can hear it from any direction and that you're
just not going to find anything like this for a
couple of years to come, and it's just exciting. I'm
(20:53):
excited to be a part of it. I'm excited to
demo it. I'm excited to see the look on people's faces.
And then the follow up phone calls that I've been
making with the patients who have it, telling me, you know,
the week before I had gone to church and I understood,
you know, twenty percent of what was being said. And
(21:15):
now with the spear, I go to church and I
understood about ninety percent of what was being said. And
for a person who and this person has a severe
hearing loss, this is huge. You know, to enjoy those
things that you like doing and understand and hear what's
