Hearing More Speech

...and More of THEIR WORLD

Acquiring spoken language is a challenging task because children need to be able to hear words clearly before they can learn to pronounce them. The technology in Safari instruments is designed first and foremost to provide the most natural access to speech information with minimal manipulation.

The extra high-frequency speech details that Safari instruments can capture also paint a clearer picture of your child's environment. With a more accurate perception of people and places they will feel more confident and more secure in school, at the playground and at home.

How Safari makes it possible

Safari's extra broad bandwidth captures more of the important, soft consonant sounds (such as "f", "s" and "sh") that make individual words easier to hear and understand. This also can improve their own pronunciation when it's the child's turn to talk.

"It's really changed the clarity of
how he speaks."

Samantha, mother of
6-year-old Frankie

What Samantha has noticed about her son Frankie:

"With his old aids, Frankie had difficulty pronouncing words because he couldn't hear the higher-pitched sounds. I was worried whether he ever would, but within a few months of getting his new aids, he started producing those sounds. It was amazing. He speaks so much more clearly now. It's really changed the clarity of how he speaks.

He's also asking more questions because he's hearing more. It's the most wonderful thing for him to be able to understand other people and for other people to be able to understand him. I want him to be able to speak as clearly as possible and be as independent as possible."
