Birmingham, One of a Select Number of Cities in the Country to Have Access to Breakthrough Hearing Technology, Gets Sneak Peek at a Big Event May 10
A procedure has come to Birmingham that could do for hearing loss what Lasik surgery has done for poor eyesight. Dr. William McFeely is one of only a select number of doctors in the U.S. performing the Esteem® procedure. The Esteem® Hearing Implant is a breakthrough technology that allows people with hearing loss to hear all the time, anywhere with a permanent and invisible hearing solution.
Dr. McFeely will present this breakthrough technology Saturday, May 10, in Birmingham Perimeter Park to people interested in learning more about innovative hearing loss solutions.
“Approximately 17 percent of Americans have some degree of hearing loss. That’s more than 190,000 people in the Birmingham-Hoover metro area,” said Dr. McFeely, of North Alabama ENT Associates-Huntsville. “The Esteem® solution is the first hearing implant of its kind; because it is uniquely invisible, it allows people to tackle their hearing loss without being defined by it.”
The Esteem® Hearing Implant is the only FDA-approved fully implantable technology to offer a permanent and invisible hearing solution. The system works with the ear’s natural anatomy to improve hearing quality. It eliminates the “stigma” sometimes associated with using a hearing device because it has no external components and nothing in the ear canal.
“The Esteem® lets you be more connected in life—with your friends and family, and at work,” said Dr. McFeely. “There is no fiddle factor.”
The Esteem® implant is not taken on and off like a hearing aid. It also works in water, during sleep, and all the time in everyday life. Unlike a hearing aid, the Esteem® has a battery life that lasts for years.
People with hearing loss who want to live a more effortless, connected life, as well as those interested in learning more about hearing loss solutions can find out more about the game-changing Esteem® technology and other hearing innovations by attending the FREE event Saturday, May 10, in Birmingham Perimeter Park.
