Assistech simplifies online shopping

Typically, online shoppers have to go through pages and pages of product information until they find (or don’t find) what they’re looking for. This process can be time-consuming, confusing and at times frustrating for the customer. Product information is not always clear, the customer may be in a hurry, and some web pages may take “forever” to download due to excessive graphics.

With this in mind, Assistech™ developed a new service called Wizard-Assist™ which can be accessed on specific pages of our website. Wizard-Assist™ combines the company’s shopping cart with the power and versatility of a proprietary script, allowing Web visitors to find products in the shortest amount of time. More…

The Hearing Aid as a Fashion Statement

This hearing aid looks more like an earring. Its tiny triangular body comes in exuberant colors like sunset orange, racing green or cabernet red; a slender wisp of wire uncoils gracefully from the body to an earpod no bigger than a teardrop.

It is indeed a hearing appliance, made by the Danish company Oticon. It is called Delta, after its triangular housing that contains the microphones and signal-processing electronics. Introduced in May 2006, the device is designed for people typically in their 40's, 50's or older who are starting to lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds but hate doing anything about it.

"This new design is appealing to people who traditionally are reluctant to seek help" for hearing loss, said Ed Bravo, an audiologist at Audio Help Associates in New York. An appliance that looks this hip, though, may overcome that barrier; Dr. Bravo has fitted many clients with it since May. Learn more...
