LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Some of the most dramatic innovations in medical technology can be found where some people might least expect to find it – hearing aids.
The newest hearing aids not only open a world of sound for more people with hearing loss, they bring additional benefits, like rechargeable convenience, built-in tinnitus relief sounds and the ability to connect to the Internet.
Glynis Tambornini of Mendocino-Lake Audiology in Lakeport and Ukiah is among the first hearing care professionals in the US to offer the new Oticon Opn hearing aid.
“Opn provides advantages that even the most sophisticated hearing solutions of today can’t deliver – the ability to manage listening to multiple speakers in noisy environments, like restaurants or social gatherings,” says Tambornini. “With Opn, you can enjoy 30 percent better speech understanding, reduce your listening effort by 20%, and remember 20 percent more of your conversations.”
Opn is also a practical and welcome solution if you want the convenience of rechargeable batteries.
With the easy-to-use charger, Opn can be powered throughout the day by simply placing the hearing aids in the charger overnight.
Bothered by tinnitus? Built-in Tinnitus SoundSupport lets you benefit from a range of customizable relief sounds.
As the world’s first Internet-connected hearing device, Opn offers an array of wireless possibilities. Opn connects directly to iPhone, allowing you to hear your phone as well as stream music. The optional TV Adapter turns your hearing aids into a pair of wireless headphones for TV listening at your own preferred volume.

New federal farm legislation passed this week by the U.S. Senate includes many of the top priorities identified by the California Farm Bureau Federation.
The bill establishes federal policy on agricultural programs encompassing conservation, nutrition, commodities, trade, research, rural development and other topics.
The Senate bill will be reconciled in conference committee with a farm bill passed by the House last week.
“The farm bill represents a five-year agreement between farmers and the American people,” CFBF President Jamie Johansson said. “We will encourage our representatives to meld the best elements of the House and Senate bills to create a modern farm bill that serves farmers, ranchers, rural Americans and everyone who depends on the nation’s agricultural production.”
Johansson noted that the bill preserves conservation programs important to California farmers and ranchers and maintains investments in trade development, organic agriculture and programs to aid production of specialty crops such as vegetables, nuts and fruits.
He said the measure also encourages research into mechanization, which offers a partial remedy for ongoing employee shortages on farms and ranches.
“This commitment to research acknowledges the need for long-term solutions for agricultural labor needs, and at the same time creates resources to develop innovative ways to harvest and care for crops,” Johansson said.
“On the other hand, the bill isn’t perfect,” he added. “We would like to see an improved risk-management program for dairy farms and changes to eligibility requirements for conservation programs that would allow more California farmers and ranchers to participate. The federal government also needs to adjust its definition of the term ‘rural,’ so more California communities could qualify for programs to improve facilities in rural regions.”
Current federal farm legislation is due to expire in September.
The California Farm Bureau Federation works to protect family farms and ranches on behalf of nearly 40,000 members statewide and as part of a nationwide network of more than 5.5 million Farm Bureau members.
