OSHKOSH, Wis. – A new and exclusive series of sleek, triangular-shaped hearing devices is giving people with hearing loss a boost in sound quality, speech understanding and cutting-edge style.

Dr. Candy McGinnis,  an audiologist with Affinity Medical Group on Koeller Street in Oshkosh, is among the first hearing care professionals to offer the new hearing solutions that feature stylish modern designs enabling people to choose hearing solutions that are unique and individual extensions of their personalities and lifestyles.

“The new Delta Lifestyle Edition hearing solutions combine the best of two worlds, merging cosmetic advantages with the most advanced digital technology,” McGinnis said. “With the new hearing solutions, I am able to fit more than 80 percent of my patients with a hearing device that they want and can continue to wear, even if their hearing loss progresses.”

“The Delta Lifestyle Editions offer people with hearing loss colorful and stylish choices that, for the first time, allow them to make a very personal statement about their lifestyles and passions,” McGinnis said. “More importantly, the three new Lifestyle Editions feature state-of-the-art digital technology to provide unprecedented sound quality and speech understanding so that people with hearing loss can fully enjoy hobbies and other lifestyle pursuits.”

The new Delta devices come in three styles:

• Fairways—featuring faux golf ball pebbling
• In Bloom—featuring a modern flower-print
• Adventure—a black-and-white Zebra print.
