Many of the hearing instruments on exhibit for the first time at this year’s American Academy of Audiology (AAA) 2016 event boasted high-technology features that tech-savvy hearing care providers and their clients are looking for, including wireless connectivity to smart phones and other mobile devices, open fit designs that allow for a more natural hearing experience in challenging environments, and hearing aids or accessories that allow busy people to replace and easily recharge their hearing aids and batteries.

Perhaps because bigger companies like Starkey and ReSound did not occupy space in the AAA 2016 exhibit hall this year, there was more room for exhibits from many smaller, international hearing instrument companies. It was difficult to visit all the booths on the AudiologyNOW! exhibit floor.

“Overall, there was a nice selection of exhibits with something for everyone attending this year’s event”. —Christa Nuber, Associate Editor, The Hearing Review
