“I don’t have to worry about whistling sounds.”

Choir singing, dining, dancing and gym classes. With hobbies like these, Peder Soerensen needed clear, virtually whistle-free sound quality. He found this in Ponto Pro Power.

Name: Peder Soerensen Age: 69 Profession: Farmer Indication: Conductive hearing loss in left ear as a result of chronic middle ear infections (Chronic Otitis Media). Sound processor: Ponto Pro Power

“It sounds powerful. And even at the higher volume levels, Ponto Pro Power doesn’t make whistling sounds.”

Less feedback problems when singing in the choir

Peder Soerensen has always enjoyed choir singing and concerts – but never more so than with Ponto Pro Power. “When the sopranos are singing, I no longer have to turn the volume down for fear that it will start whistling,” says Peder. “My own voice and other people’s voices sound very natural – and I can hear the whole choir more clearly.”

Peder experienced similar benefits during a piano concert, where the tones came through clearly, without distortion. This can be attributed to an advanced Feedback Management system which is designed to reduce any howling that might occur.

Better speech understanding during dancing and keeping fit

During the winter Peder and his wife attend dinner and dance events with up to 50 other merrymakers. Even when things get lively, Ponto Pro Power is designed to take the work out of listening with the aid of directional microphones. “I can hear what the other guests are saying during dinner – and even follow a conversation when I’m dancing,” says Peder.

Once a week Peder attends gym classes to keep fit  - and Ponto Pro Power goes with him. “Even with up to 14 people I can hear what the trainer is saying and where other people’s voices are coming from,” he says.

Easy on the ear

When Peder is playing with his grandchildren, things can get fairly noisy – but Ponto Pro Power helps him deal with this too. “Even when my grandchildren are squealing and being rowdy, the sound stays clear and comfortable.  In my opinion the sound quality couldn’t be better. Ponto Pro Power isn’t something I only use in the evenings, I use it 13 hours a day.”

Easy on the eye

Design-wise, the fact that Ponto Pro Power has a curved rather than a square profile has also made a favourable impression on Peder. ”I am very impressed with the way it looks - and so is my wife! The organic design makes it seem smaller somehow,” he says.
