The Acoustitone line of hearing aids  were created by a board-certified Ear, Nose, & Throat physician in Chicago, IL.  In his practice, he would encounter people who would benefit from hearing aids, but simply couldn’t afford the thousands of dollars often needed to pay for them.  As a physician, he knew the effects of untreated hearing loss:  depression, social isolation, anxiety, and symptoms consistent with Alzheimer’s dementia.

He set out to find a reasonable solution that could help with the most common types of hearing loss at a reasonable price.  He was looking for a “one-size-fits-most” hearing aid similar to reading glasses that can easily be purchased at the drug store.  He evaluated numerous hearing aids and sound amplifiers below $200, including  those seen on television.  Without fail, almost all of theses were found to only amplify bass / low frequencies (<1000 hz) and not very useful in amplifying the frequencies related to the human voice (1000-4000 hz).

He then created the Acoustitone line of hearing aids to his exact technical specifications, such that the range of sounds associated with the human voice would be amplified, without overly amplifying background sounds.  The flagship Acoustitone PRO hearing aid has been rigorously tested by leaders in the hearing loss field (ENT Physicians and Audiologists) who have unanimously agreed that the sound quality and output is surprisingly accurate given its low cost.
