If you were exposed to loud sounds, you would
seek hearing protection. At the other end of
the spectrum though, are diffi cult to hear, soft
sounds. Hearing diffi culties for normal listen-
ers is usually related to one of two conditions:
Either the sound is softer than you want to hear
it normally, or there is competing noise which
makes speech harder to understand.
Focus Ear PAL is an elite brand of Personal
Sound Amplifi er (PSAP). PSAP’s are intended
to improve a normal hearing condition in
diffi cult situations.
