When Mark Garner first visited Yonge Street south of Bloor, it was the late 1970s and like many young people of the era, he came from a distance – in his case, all the way in from Scarborough – for the famous street’s sometimes seedy but irresistible charms: in those days, rows of video arcades and record stores, movie theatres, music venues, bookstores, and the then-fresh glass cavern of the Eaton Centre. If he were born a few years later, it might have been the early and evolving annual Pride parades that drew him downtown, or BuskerFest, or So much has changed in North By Northeast.But downtown Toronto since the these days, Garner – who 1970s.

They’ve poured new concrete, but this is the same street.” The street is the same but the buildings around soon will not be. The 80-storey Aura condominium tower at Yonge and Gerrard streets is currently the tallest condominium in the country. In a few years, it will be just the eighth tallest in Toronto, as new towers at Elm Street, Yonge and Gerrard, and Yonge and Bloor take form. And other buildings will occupy what has been useful open space in the neighbourhoods surrounding Yonge Street: the surface parking lots on Bay Street and, more crucially, Church Street to the east.

Girls learn how to skateboard without intimidation FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Male dominated sports can be a tough thing for girls to not only break into, but feel comfortable in. For six weeks this summer, 15 pre-teen and teenage girls had a chance to learn how to skateboard free of intimidation from their male counterparts. The all-girls skateboarding program, held every Tuesday at Grandravine Community Recreation Centre near Keele Street and Sheppard Avenue, allowed would-be female skateboarders to learn to ride in a judgement- and intimidationfree zone. The program, a partnership between the city of Toronto and the Chill Foundation, which provides free snowboarding and other boarding programs for youths in underserviced areas, wrapped up its first allgirls skateboarding session at Grandravine Tuesday, Aug. 16. “It’s really a male dominated space,” Alistair Thomson, the Chill Foundation’s Toronto >>>FREE, page 31 It’s your home.

Biennial Ashkenaz Festival back for 11th year FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com What started out as a showcase of Klezmer and Yiddish music and culture has grown in both Jewish and non-Jewish diversity. Running Tuesday, Aug. 30 to Monday, Sept. 5, the 11th biennial Ashkenaz Festival will highlight eastern European, Sephardic, Mizrachi, and Israeli cultural arts, along with cross-cultural fusion. Grammy-award winning band The Klezmatics will open the festival with a performance at Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. With the main stage at Harbourfront Centre and performances also set at venues downtown, in North York, and in York Region, the festival, which is mainly free but has some ticketed events, is expected to attract 70,000 attendees. “It’s really hard to do every year,” said North York’s Eric Stein, who has served as the festival’s artistic director for the past decade. “By doing it every two years it makes it more special and unique, and really fresh.” Stein, who has been involved with the

festival from the start as a musician before taking on artistic director duties, said the idea to showcase Yiddish and Klezmer culture was

born out of a revival in the mid-90s. “A generation or two before, it disappeared, it fell out of out fashion,” he said. “From

the get-go, the festival has been embraced enthusiastically and with great success.” New to the Ashkenaz Festival this year is a focus on Jewish food, which Stein jokes is long overdue. “In the past it’s been all about music, theatre, film, dance,” he said, adding food demonstrations, tastings, and cookbook readings take place this year. “We never really thought of food in the same way until it dawned on us.” A highlight of the festival will be a Yiddish performance of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman (with English surtitles) at Toronto Centre for the Arts, Stein said, adding he’s “most excited” to welcome back Jewish funk-fusion group Abraham Inc. to the main stage. The nine-piece band, led by the trio of Klezmer clarinet player David Krakauer, funk trombonist and arranger Fred Wesley, who performed with James Brown and George Clinton, and Yiddish rapper Socalled, have played at Carnegie Hall and Harlem’s Apollo Theater.

Retail skills program trains young newcomers FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Nabila Tasnim decided it was time to break out of her comfort zone when she signed up for New Circles Community Services’ leaders in service training program. The free seven-week summer retail skills training program, aimed at youth aged 15 to 18 within New Circles’ catchment area of Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Park, Taylor-Massey (including Crescent Town), and Victoria Village, celebrated the graduation of 21 students Friday, Aug. 19. The not-for-profit agency offers clothing, language tutoring, skills training, and a computer cafe out of its site on Bartley Road, near Victoria Park Avenue and O’Connor Drive. The leaders in service training program offered 50 hours of hands-on experience at New Circles’ clothing bank GLOW (Gently Loved Outfits to Wear), along with certificates from

the Retail Council of Canada upon program completion. The goal of the program, now in its third year, is to help young people, many of whom are new to Canada living in households with limited income, gain the skills and knowledge required to succeed in the retail industry. Nabila, who just graduated from Georges S. Henry Academy and will study design at York/Sheridan in the fall, said she learned of the leaders in service training program while shopping for a dress at New Circles’ prom boutique. “This has given me more work experience,” said the 17-year-old, adding she not only learned about the retail side of things, but also how to present herself professionally along with valuable social skills. “I told myself I had to get out of my comfort zone and connect with people,” said Nabila, who moved to Toronto three years ago from Bangladesh. “I feel more confi-

dent.” She also learned there is more to retail than making a sale - including

restocking shelves, keeping track of inventory, and keeping the space tidy.

Adeena Afridi, who arrived in the city from Pakistan one year ago, said the program helped her understand how the retail industry works in Canada. “I think everybody who has the opportunity to participate in the program should,” said the 17-year-old, who is heading into grade 12 at Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute. Hussein Kassam, leaders in service training program facilitator, said participants understand barriers faced by newcomers, often communicating with clients in their mother tongue. “It’s a mesh of a summer camp kind of environment with a school environment,” he said, adding students went on field trips to the Bata Shoe Museum, the Textile Museum of Canada, and also met with an executive from the Bay and saw customer service in action at its Queen Street location. “They are better prepared for the job market,” he said.

Smart use of space needed downtown as population grows

Write us

here’s no question: condo and office construction in Toronto, particularly in downtown Toronto, is booming. By 2025 the city core will have half a million people living in it, many of them in new and relatively new condominium towers. During workdays, the population swells to more than 830,000. Population density like that is good in many ways: it makes it easier and more cost-effective to provide transit and other fundamental infrastructure, and it limits the environmental damage that sprawl inevitably brings about. But can there be too much of that good thing? In downtown Toronto – maybe. For every condominium tower that climbs high for new residents, the ad hoc ground-level space existing visitors and residents Our VieW for that’s existed for years gets TOcore to look buried. Taking a look at those spaces – the at maintaining unsightly paid surface parking lots up and down Church public spaces Street, for example – it’s easy to say good riddance. But as reported by Metroland Media Toronto’s David Nickle this week, saying good riddance to some surface parking could mean farewell to the vibrant festivals and activities that have come to define downtown living: the annual Pride festival on Church and Yonge streets, North By Northeast, BuskerFest all rely on space both on and off the road for parades and performances and gatherings. Something’s got to give, and lucky thing: city planners, downtown businesses and the area’s political leadership seem to know it. Toronto’s Planning Department has embarked on TOcore, a project to look at ways to maintain public space amid the high-rise development. And the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area along with local councillor Krystin Wong-Tam has been promoting a more specific solution to Yonge Street: giving some portion of the roadway over to pedestrians and cyclists. An environmental assessment of the plan is underway. We’ll see what fruit it bears. A few years ago, kicking the cars off Yonge Street would have been a kind of municipal sacrilege. Now, it’s just an example of the kind of forward thinking needed, to make sure that downtown Toronto stays special.

Federal funding for TTC is the exception, not the norm If you’re one of the unfortunate souls who’s been regularly riding Line 2 of the subway through the heat of this summer, you’ve learned some tricks. Before you get onto a subway car, put your hand through the door and see if it ignites. If it does, the air conditioning is off and you might be better trying the next car. If that one’s overheated too, you make your way to one end of the car or another, and conserve your strength until it reaches the next station, and try and move to a third car before the doors close again… and then repeat this until you find a car with air conditioning, or get to the last or first car on the train – which usually has air conditioning. In any case, it’s wise to hydrate. Because even if you eventually get in the right car, on weekends and off-peak you might find yourself waiting in the tomb-like heat of a station or during rush-hour, staring through suffocating

david nickle the city crowds as over-stuffed trains – many more of which are not air conditioned – pass by. Hot subways and crowded platforms aren’t the only problems that the Toronto Transit Commission is facing, but they are symptoms of the same problem: chronic under-funding, dating back decades, which has required commission staff to juggle priorities and in so doing deliver a service that at times barely approximates the reasonable expectations of its customers. And so it is that subway air conditioning during heat waves is managed rather than repaired, as the TTC’s backlog of repairs grows. There was a bit of kismet this week when the August heatwave broke for a couple of days, and the federal gov-

ernment came to Toronto to announce the “down payment” of $840 million in funding for public transit infrastructure in Toronto. The down payment is substantial – $500 million, ear-marked for among other things subway repairs and bus repairs – which hopefully will include some of those AC units – but many other projects too: bike parking at TTC stations, new buses, escalator overhauls and more. The challenge will be to ensure that it keeps going, and that will be a trick. This federal money is atypical for more than its magnitude: it is not, as TTC Chair Josh Colle remarked, the kind of funding that visiting federal officials like to announce. No one wants to cut a ribbon on a repair job, after all, and that’s what these things entail. Really, a well-financed transit system shouldn’t need $500 million in one-time funding to bring its aging but not ancient infrastructure up to

scratch; there should be a consistent and sustainable funding source that allows ongoing maintenance and at least modest expansion. It doesn’t seem as though such a source is on the horizon. This fall and next year, the TTC will be responding to instructions from Mayor John Tory to cut $15.9 million or 2.6 per cent from its operating budget. That will be an annual reduction, and it is dramatic enough that TTC CEO Andy Byford reported earlier this summer that if implemented he would have no choice but to recommend service cuts. Given that long-term reality, one wonders how much longer it will be before another federal government has to open up the treasury to bring the system back to where it should have been all along. Better hang on to those water bottles.

special report

DID YOU KNOW? Toron to’s dow n tow n i s growing at a phenomenal rate: In 2011, downtown Toronto had a population of 199,495. In 2015, city planners estimate that more than 240,000 live here. In 2025, that’s expected to double. Much of that development will come to live in new residential developments. In June 2015, 31,554 housing units had been submitted to the city in the form of planning applications. Another 28,812 had applied for or received building permits, and 16,321 were under construction.

Benjamin Priebe/Metroland

When you add people coming in for employment, downtown Toronto swells during the day to more than 830,000 people.

A view from the Bathurst Street bridge, illustrating the future location of Toronto’s proposed Rail Deck Park.

Rapidly redeveloping a city’s character >>>from page 1

by Northeast. “With this type of intensification, with parking lots disappearing for programming, how do we build a quality neighbourhood?” says Garner. “This was always the high street, the retail street. It’s been a music Mecca not just for retail but also performance. And we’re about to redevelop the street. What’s the character of the street to be? We all had a rite of passage on Yonge Street. The street we need to build now is for the future generations.” Toronto planners are seized of this question, not just for Yonge Street but for all of the downtown. With a huge growth in population, and unprecedented redevelopment of scarce downtown land, how does the city provide the public spaces that have in the past existed temporarily or in an ad hoc way? Earlier in August, Toronto Mayor John Tory announced a plan to spend what could be hundreds of millions of dollars to cover over rail lands south of Wellington Street, to turn it into a 21-acre “central park.” The plan is informed by an ongoing city planning project, TOcore, looking at comprehensive ways to “finish off” Toronto’s

downtown redevelopment that allows the much larger downtown to retain the charms and amenities that made it such a desirable place in the first place. “We’re finishing off the downtown and as we finish it off we need to make sure we don’t kill the golden goose by losing our open spaces and green spaces,” says Toronto’s Chief Planner Jennifer Keesmaat.

“

With this type of intensification, with parking lots disappearing for programming, how do we build a quality neighbourhood? – Mark Garner, downtown Yonge BIa executive director

That inevitably means investment – either in real estate, or in repurposing the public realm. In the case of the rail-cover park plan, that means spending as much as $20 million an acre on decking and landscaping overtop of train tracks. That might seem like a lot, but Keesmaat points out that purchasing land in the downtown core would cost the city between $50

and $60 million an acre. There is no rail corridor to build over on Yonge Street. There is, however, the street itself. And it’s here that city planners, the Downtown Yonge BIA and local Toronto Centre-Rosedale Councillor Kristyn WongTam are looking for relief. “The grand vision is to redesign and repurpose Yonge Street from Davenport to the waterfront, and rebuild the street so it’s much more dynamic… people friendly… pedestrian friendly,” says Wong-Tam. “If I gave you a street designed to be able to be turned over to festivals, with wayfinding and stages built into the street itself, would that not have value for a neighbourhood? Would that not have value with people?” Earlier this year, Wong-Tam and the BIA launched an environmental assessment to look at the possibility of turning sections of Yonge Street – or possibly the whole stretch – over to pedestrian malls, or at least widening the sidewalks. Garner admits that he has gotten flack from some in his organization who chaffe at the idea of shutting down a stretch of downtown roadways to cars. But he says his membership – and the data – bear this out.

The BIA has done traffic counts, and found that out of 42 million people travelling on the street, only a quarter do so by car, and just five per cent by bicycle. The rest are pedestrians. Keesmaat says that studies on other downtown streets suggest that cars should have even less primacy. On King Street, cars take up 64 per cent of the space but move only 16 per cent of the people. “Right now there’s a profound efficiency if we can shift infrastructure so that the infrastructure that moves the most people has the most allocation,” says Keesmaat. Spadina-Fort York MP and former city councillor Adam Vaughan says plans like the Yonge Street plan will be essential to making downtown communities work in the future. “One of the things we realized is that we’re losing flat space to intensification and flat space is where people gather,” he says. “I think we sell ourselves short when we think of Toronto as culturally deficient – it’s one of the most vibrant places in North America. But if you don’t pay attention to it – don’t think about new ways to use residual lands – you’ll lose that advantage very quickly.”

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement. Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

After being named grand prize winner of Canada’s Walk of Fame’s Emerging Artist Mentorship Program, Ayaz Virani’s star is pointing up. The North York resident earned the title earlier this month, winning out over a lineup of some 350 musicians from across the country. His winning song, Take it From Mei, highlights the 24-year-old singer/songwriter’s style, which reflects his varied musical tastes. “I grew up in a house full of music that included everything from dance hall to R&B to Bollywood,” he said. “Take it From Mei is a pop/soul song with a bit of R&B and all my music touches on a bunch of different styles – pop, reggae, R&B with a dash of soul.” Virani first started writing and recording music last

year, when his parents went away on vacation, leaving him with an empty house to practice in. After recording and mixing a few tracks, he started releasing his work on Soundcloud (www.soundcloud.com/ayazv). With a

stripped-down sound that highlights his soulful voice and guitar work, he has built up a fan base purely through word of mouth. The Emerging Artist Mentorship Program will give him a chance to meet with established musicians and industry executives, along with $25,000, studio recording time and a public performance at a Canada’s Walk of Fame event. “Marketing’s one of my weaker aspects, so this will help me get larger exposure,” he said. “So far, I’ve truly been relying on my social network – my friend network. I just put my music out there and say ‘if you like it, please share.’” Virani hopes to use his winnings to release his first album. If he resonates as much with the public as he did with the Walk of Fame judging panel, it could be the start of a long and fruitful career.

The new system will also allow the Victoria Park and Eglinton avenues based company to trace all product ingredients and make date-driven decisions to improve efficiency and productivity, said Select Food President Andrew Mitchell. The funding was part of a bigger provincial-federal investment of $4.6 million in the Greater Toronto Area’s food and beverage processing sector to support 110 projects helping businesses implement and sustain technology to expand production and meet consumer demand, the announcement said. These projects received funding through Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative supporting innovation, competitiveness, market development, adaptability and industry sustainability in Canada’s agri-food and agri-products sectors. Select Food, which is celebrating its 75 anniversary, needs to become “world-class” in order to compete in the foreign and Canadian markets, Mitchell said. “The government support is a huge help in this regard,” he said.

The President of CCIA is Sophia Sun, members represent a wide range of sectors, including financial services, real estate, legal services, manufacturing, biotechnology, construction, transportation, mining and energy, information and communication technology, high-tech and education. CCIA has around 2000 members in Canada, and much more globally. President Sophia Sun had organized Mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Delegations for trade missions to China twice. CCIA targeted specific trade and investment sectors in major Chinese cities. Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast-growing economy provides unlimited business opportunities for Ontario enterprises. Improved Chinese foreign trade policies helped strengthen relations, and both countries reaped immense benefits from cooperating. This trade expedition marked a new chapter for the economic and trade exchanges between the Chinese market place and Canada. www.cciacanada.com.

My wife and I discovered that real independence means having the freedom to do what we want, when we want, without being tied to household chores and expenses. True independence means fine dining with friends and enjoying retirement in an active community of like-minded adults with a staff as dependable as family. Our new independence means less worry and more freedom. The real secret? We chose a Delmanor community.

With a badly needed injection of federal funding now a reality, the TTC hopes the money will be enough to complete essential accessibility improvements. “This will help us accelerate our designs for the next phases of improvements we need,” said Chris Upfold, the TTC’s deputy CEO following the announcement Wednesday by the federal government of nearly $400 million directly to the transit commission in funding for essential maintenance and repairs, as well the accessibility improvements. The TTC has less than 10 years to ensure all 69 of its subway and RT stations, plus subway trains, streetcars and buses, are fully accessible as per a provincial mandate. This means adding new elevators, ramps and exits, at a cost of approximately $10 million to $15 million per station. While currently halfway on that goal,

the TTC has all but acknowledged that without additional money – it estimates it has $30 million to $40 million left from an initial budget of more than $250 million for the upgrades – it can’t make the deadline. However, with the new funding guaranteeing 50 per cent of the total project cost, Upfold was hopeful the TTC can complete all of its upgrades well before the Accessibility for Ontarians Disability Act, or AODA, goes into effect province wide in 2025. “We’re doing three to four (station upgrades) a year and

if we maintain that pace we will get there,” he said. “We do have the time, but we’re also doing the work at the same time we’re keeping the subway running. It’s almost like performing open-heart surgery while running a marathon; we’re trying to fix this stuff at the same time as we keep going.” For AODA, the TTC will receive just more than $5 million for fleet improvements and a further 10 million for bus stop upgrades. It also gets more than $4 million for the purchase of 201 Wheel-Trans buses.

Police investigate taxi-cyclist incident Footage of an ugly altercation between a taxi driver and a cyclist downtown surfaced this week, leading to a police investigation. At the start of the short video, a bike courier slaps the cab’s passenger window, likely upset because the vehicle is dangerously close. The taxi driver responds by swerving into the courier’s path, knocking him off his bike and onto the sidewalk. Fortunately the cyclist doesn’t appear to be injured, although he is understandably upset. Charges have not been laid at this time as police continue to investigate the incident.

YORK CITY wNEW CHECKING US OUT

It seems New York City really likes our subway trains. New York’s own transit authority is planning to replace its existing cramped fleet with the open gangway models seen most commonly on the Yonge line, and so both the New York Times and the Post dispatched reporters to

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT Toronto to take a look firsthand. Like the Toronto Rockets, New York’s new fleet will boast wider doors, air conditioning and allow for unencumbered access through the length of the train, but won’t be ready likely until 2020. CLOSURE wMONTH-LONG OF DUFFERIN BRIDGE

The Dufferin Street Bridge will close to automobile traffic following the Canadian National Exhibition. Metrolinx is planning to widen the north side of the bridge, located at the Queen Street intersection, as part of ongoing GO Transit RER (Regional Express Rail) expansion on the Kitchener line. The closure is planned for one month exactly, Sept. 8 to Oct. 8, and Metrolinx advises the work will also need to take place in evenings and overnight, though it assures any

lighting will be shined away from residences. PANEL TO DISCUSS w‘THE LAST MILE’

What to do about the last mile of travel? That’s what a panel of transit experts are hoping to answer during an upcoming talk held by Ryerson University’s City Building Institute. Solving the Last Mile will feature representatives from Metrolinx, as well as from assorted GTA transit agencies all seeking to come up with solutions on how transit agencies can better serve residents on the last leg of their commutes – an urgent concern given the spiralling increase in congestion. The talk takes place Tuesday, Sept. 20 at the George Vari Engineering Centre. Rahul Gupta is Metroland Media Toronto’s transportation and infrastructure reporter. His column runs every Thursday.

Owner: Louis Nemes The Bistro on Avenue has been on Avenue Road for over 30 years. When Louis Nemes (Owner) was told that he would have to relocate to make way for condominiums, his customers begged him to find another place on Avenue Rd. Well...he did and it’s bigger and better than before! Now at 1988 Avenue Rd., just south of Wilson. Louis’ legacy lives on! 40 years ago, Louis, a former chemist with Canada Packers, became the founder of Toronto’s renowned chicken wing eateries, The Chick ‘N Deli, The Bistro on Avenue and the first St. Louis Bar and Grill. (2050 Yonge St.). He quickly wowed the locals with his signature wings. In a city where chicken wings dominate the menus of most restaurants, Louis created a niche with his specialty chicken wings. “The secret is in the spice”. Most people would agree based on the fact that since 1977, Louis has sold millions of his famous chicken wings, consistently winning peoples choice awards. The Bistro menu also provides classic comfort and specialty foods. The success of Louis’ restaurants has also been a success for local charities. Hosting the Annual Bistro Golf Tournament, as well as numerous other fundraisers, Louis continually gives back to the community. Thank you for voting us the Best Wings in Town!

An all-girl skateboarding program held in partnership with the City of Toronto and the Chill Foundation runs out of the Grandravine Community Recreation Centre.

Free equipment provided to girls >>>from page 1 manager, said of skateboarding. “We’re looking to counter that.” The Chill Foundation provided free equipment and instruction to the girls, with program response “overwhelmingly positive”, he said, adding he’s optimistic the all-girls skateboarding program will continue on.

“You would think in this day and age there wouldn’t be any (gender) barriers, but we hope the girls feel empowered,” Thomson said. “There is a big push for girls to get involved in the skateboarding scene.” Instructor Alix Buck told a media outlet when she started skateboarding a decade ago there weren’t many female

representatives. “This is kind of a reflection of a changing landscape in Toronto skateboarding. Toronto was really lagging in the female skateboarding department for a long time behind a lot of other cities. I don’t think it is now,” she said. -with files from Torstar

The hearing aid is aAgreat value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands! a great value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands!

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available. The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments. Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear. Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing. Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have

been shown to reduce the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids. Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with causing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!
