Izinsiza-kuzwa: Isidingo Ekuphakameni

Uma uhlushwa ukungezwa, awuwedwa, ngeshwa. Kunezigidi zabantu namuhla ezinenkinga ethile yokungezwa, noma izindlebe ezilimele okwenza kube nzima ukuzwa. Abantu abaningi abanenkinga yokungezwa baqhubeka nempilo yabo bengaboni, ngoba abantu abaningi bathembele ekuzweni ukuze bakwazi ukusebenza ngendlela evamile emphakathini. Imishini ye-Audiology efana nezinsiza-kuzwa ingakushintsha lokhu, nokho, inikeze labo abanenkinga yokuzwa ithuba lokuphila nokusebenza ngokujwayelekile njengawo wonke umuntu.

Insiza yokuzwa ingenye yemishini evame ukusetshenziswa kakhulu ye-audiology esiza ukuthuthukisa ukuzwa kumuntu onenkinga yokuzwa ngokwenza imisindo izwakale kulowo muntu. Ubuchwepheshe bezinsiza zokuzwa buye bashintsha kakhulu phakathi neminyaka edlule, ngokuthuthukiswa kokujikeleza okusebenzayo kanye nezinhlobo ezintsha zamabhethri ezenziwayo. Izinsiza-kuzwa zanamuhla manje sezincane, zinamandla kakhulu, futhi zisebenza kahle kakhulu kunangaphambili, okuzenza zibe ukukhetha okuhle kulabo abafuna indlela ehlakaniphile yokuthuthukisa ikhono labo lokuzwa. Izinsiza-kuzwa zilawulwa yimithetho kazwelonke yazo futhi zihlukaniswa njengezisetshenziswa zezokwelapha.

Abashayeli Bemakethe:

Ukwethulwa kwemikhiqizo emisha kulindeleke ukuthi kukhuthaze ukukhula kwemakethe yezinsiza zokuzwa emhlabeni jikelele esikhathini sokubikezela. Isibonelo, ngo-Okthoba 2020, i-Starkey ikhipha imodi yemaski yezinsiza zokuzwa ze-LIVIO AI. I-Mask Mode ithuthukisa impendulo yemvamisa eziteshini ezithile ukusiza iziguli zizwe kangcono abantu abagqoke imaski yobuso.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, inani elandayo labantu abalahlekelwe yizindlebe kulindeleke ukuthi likhuthaze ukukhula kwemakethe yezinsiza zokuzwa emhlabeni jikelele esikhathini sokubikezela. Ngokwesibonelo, ngokweNhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba wonke, abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-900 bazobe sebengakwazi ukuzwa ngo-2050.

Amathuba Emakethe:

I-R&D yemikhiqizo ethuthuke kakhulu kwezobuchwepheshe kulindeleke ukuthi inikeze amathuba okukhula anenzuzo enkulu kubadlali emakethe yezinsiza-kuzwa zomhlaba. Isibonelo, ngoFebhuwari 2020, uPhonak wenze ukuba kutholakale ubuchwepheshe be-Marvel kuphothifoliyo enwetshiwe ye-custom in-the-ear (ITE), amandla amakhulu, nezinsiza zokuzwa zezingane kuwo wonke amazinga okusebenza amaningi.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlanganiswa kwempilo yokuzwa nokulalela umculo kulindeleke ukuthi kunikeze amathuba okukhula anenzuzo kubadlali emakethe yezinsiza-kuzwa zomhlaba. Isibonelo, ngoNovemba 2021, i-Knowles Corporation yamemezela ukutholakala kwesamukeli sochungechunge lwe-GM, isamukeli esisha sezinga eliphezulu esisebenza kahle, esinezindlela ezimbili esiklanyelwe ngokukhethekile ukunika amandla izinhlelo zokusebenza zezempilo ezilalelayo ukuletha ukusebenza komculo kwekhwalithi ye-audiophile.

Amathrendi Emakethe:

Abadlali abakhulu abasebenza emakethe yezinsiza-kuzwa zomhlaba bagxile ekwethuleni imikhiqizo emisha ukuze bandise iphothifoliyo yomkhiqizo wabo. Isibonelo, ngoJanuwari 2020, uPhonak wethula i-Phonak Virto Black, insiza yokuzwa exhumeke ngokugcwele endlebeni (ITE) e-CES 2020.

Abadlali abakhulu abasebenza emakethe yezinsiza-kuzwa zomhlaba nabo bagxile ekunikezeni izixazululo ezithuthukile zokwandisa iphothifoliyo yomkhiqizo wabo. Isibonelo, ngoMeyi 2020, uStarkey wabuyekeza uhlelo lwayo lokusebenza lwe-Thrive Hearing Control ukuze unike amandla isici se-Fall Alert “kumodi eyisisekelo” kuzo zombili izinguqulo ze-iOS ne-Android.

Umhlaba Oncintisanayo:

Abadlali abakhulu abasebenza emakethe yezinsiza-kuzwa zomhlaba bahlanganisa, i-Cochlear Ltd., i-GN Store Nord A/S, i-MED-EL, i-Oticon A/S, i-Starkey Hearing Technologies, i-Sonova Holding AG, i-Sivantos Inc., i-Sonic Innovations Inc., i-SeboTek Hearing. I-Systems LLC, uWilliam Demant Holding A/S, Widex A/S, kanye ne-Zounds Hearing Inc.

Ukuhlukaniswa Kwemakethe:

Ngokwesisekelo sobuchwepheshe, imakethe yezinsiza-kuzwa zomhlaba ihlukaniswe yaba:

• I-Conventional Hearing Aid

• I-Digital Hearing Aid

Ngokwesisekelo sohlobo lomkhiqizo, imakethe yezinsiza-kuzwa zomhlaba ihlukaniswe yaba:

• Ngemuva Kwezinsiza-kuzwa Endlebeni

• Isamukeli Endlebeni Yezinsiza-kuzwa

• Endlebeni Yezinsiza-kuzwa
