Author Quality Hearing Systems Exposes Common Hearing Aid Myths in Recent Publication
Maplewood, MN (PRWEB) May 05, 2015
Quality Hearing Systems recently published an article in April 2015, titled The Top 5 Hearing Aid Myths Exposed, to dispel the common myths that prevent people with hearing loss from benefiting from the use of hearing aids.
According to Quality Hearing Systems, most myths and misconceptions about hearing aids are based on the problems associated with the older analog hearing aid models. But since most hearing aids are now digital, those problems are a thing of the past.
The first myth concerns performance, as there is a common perception that hearing aids simply don’t work. But recent research suggests the opposite: a study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, titled “Efficacy of 3 Commonly Used Hearing Aid Circuits,” found that all three commonly used hearing aid devices “provided significant benefit in quiet and noisy listening situations.”
The question is not whether hearing aids work—the question is whether the patient has the right hearing aid for their unique hearing loss, professionally programmed according to their preferences by a qualified professional, according to Quality Hearing Systems. Bad experiences are likely the result of buying the wrong hearing aid, buying hearing aids online, consulting the wrong individual, or not having the hearing aids customized and professionally programmed.
The other myths include the belief that hearing aids are big and unsightly, too expensive, and uncomfortable and difficult to operate. Again, while this may have been true of the older analog models, the newer digital hearing aids are smaller, more attractive, and are becoming more affordable. Modern digital hearing aids are also generally easy to operate, with some models that can be controlled through the patient’s mobile phone.
The original article, and additional information about hearing aid myths, can be found at http://www.qualityhearingsystems.com/the-top-5-hearing-aid-myths-exposed/.

New Solar Power Systems at Point Loma Nazarene University to be Publicly Unveiled Nowadays
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2011
Two new solar systems will be devoted at a ribbon-cutting ceremony held these days at Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU). The new 620kW DC photovoltaic (PV) technique and 54 kW solar thermal hot water method on PLNU’s campus will supply a combined savings of up to $ 1.6 million over the next 20 years. The projects create on PLNU’s very first solar PV technique developed by SPG Solar in 2008. PLNU continues to show their commitment to sustainability with one of the highest ratios of solar power to students in the U.S.
SPG Solar – a leading national solar power company – developed, engineered and constructed the 620kW technique that spans two rooftops and 5 solar carports, employing Kyocera KD 235-watt solar panels. Perpetual Energy Systems financed the method via a Energy Buy Agreement under which PLNU will acquire the electricity produced at a predetermined rate over 20 years.
Concurrent to the PV system’s construction was the installation of a 54 kW solar water heating method by Adroit Solar, an integrator of solar thermal systems. The technique will give an estimated 940 gallons of hot water a day to the student dorms and save the university $ 5,000 annually on utility bills. The project was financed by the Student Green Fund, a $ 5 semester fee initiated by students to offer funding for sustainability efforts on campus.
The two projects, which include much more than 2,600 Kyocera solar panels, are expected to create over 917,000 kilowatt-hours annually and give a savings of up to $ 1.6 million more than the subsequent two decades.
What the partners are saying about these innovative solar projects:
“PLNU strives to be forward thinking and take a leadership role in sustainability efforts and environmental stewardship,” said Dr. Bob Brower, president of PLNU. “The stewardship of resources is 1 of our core values. It was by way of the robust partnership with Kyocera, SPG Solar, Perpetual Power Systems, and Adroit Solar that we were in a position to expand our solar portfolio.”
“SPG Solar values its wonderful partnership with Point Loma Nazarene University, to date installing practically 1 megawatt (MW) of solar power on the campus,” stated SPG Solar CEO Chris Robine. “Through the devoted support from the students, faculty and staff, PLNU is a leader and preparing for the future – securing predictable power rates and enriching the educational experience for the students with this cross campus solar energy program.”
“PLNU is 1 of the most innovative universities, filled with students and faculty who are driven by power, water and resource conservation. We applaud their selection to install a solar thermal technique, which further showcases their sustainability efforts and gives consistent financial savings for years to come,” stated Jim Backman, President of Adroit Solar.
“Recognized for its leadership in the region of sustainability, PLNU has joined a growing number of environmentally conscience academic institutions whose investment in clean solar generated-electricity will benefit future generations,” mentioned Steve Hill, president of Kyocera Solar, Inc.
“PES is proud to count PLNU among the ranks of universities that clearly comprehend the benefits of hosting solar energy via power purchase agreements,” stated Michael Streams, Senior Vice President of Perpetual Energy Systems.
