Iranian Experts Make World-Class Quality Hearing Aids
“This hearing aid is ready for mass production and will enter the market soon. All people who need this hearing aid can get it easily and at a very low price compared to foreign models and they will enjoy a very high quality,” Nasir Zare’ Salmasi told ANA.
“The first Iran-made hearing aid fully meets all needs of people with hearing problems who need hearing aids of good quality at a reasonable price,” he added.
Zare’ Salmasi underlined that the country's dependence on hearing aids, which were imported from foreign countries in the past, have been obviated by making the indigenized product.
Earlier this year, a team of researchers at an Iranian knowledge-based company had also managed to manufacture a device that is capable of treating tinnitus and hearing loss.
They produced an electrical stimulation device for the rehabilitation of people with hearing problems.
Mola Jafari, one of the researchers, said that cochlear implant systems are among the achievements of the company.
The system is used for people who are completely deaf, Mola Jafari said, adding that the system is surgically placed in a part of the head and helps people regain their hearing.
Mola Jafari referred to the electric stimulation device as one of the other products of the company, noting that the device has a wide range of applications.
It can be used both for performing cochlear implant tests and in audiometry clinics for hearing rehabilitation to treat tinnitus.
The researcher went on to say that the device is able to treat tinnitus by using electrical stimulation.
It produces direct or alternating current with different frequencies and different waveforms to perform both electrical and acoustic stimulation.
