Hear better now and don’t miss another minute!
We are celebrating Better Hearing
Month with a special
offer of $500 off one
pair of Starkey’s brand
new Z Series,
the next
generation in
wireless hearing technology. With the Z Series,
Starkey gives you a way to live your life
better with the next generation of wireless hearing technologies to deliver the
performance, personalization, and connectivity your lifestyle demands. The Z
Series hearing aids are designed to:
• Help you hear and understand
conversations better in noisy
environments like restaurants
• Make loud sounds more comfortable while boosting soft sounds
• Stream TV, phone calls and more,
directly to your hearing aids
Starkey’s new Z Series delivers technology that will enable you to easily
adapt to new sounds by gradually
adjusting settings to allow your hearing
aids to learn new sounds. You won’t hear
buzzing or whistling with the Z Series
because these hearing aids contain
Starkey’s best-in-class feedback
cancellation system. It provides feedbackfree, comfortable listening all day long.
HydraShield™, Starkey’s pioneering water
and wax repellent moisture protection system, ensures durability and dependability.
The Z Series even offers relief to those
who suffer from ringing in the ears, called
tinnitus, due to advanced multiflex
tinnitus technology.
The Z Series is available in several styles
and a variety of discreet and stylish colors.
You will enjoy $500 savings on a pair of
the new Z Series through May 29, 2015.
Remember that we offer a worry-free
warranty: a 45-day guarantee on your
hearing aids. We offer absolutely free service, adjustments, and cleaning for your
hearing aids for as long as you wear them.
Come in today and find out how better
hearing will enhance your life. D

Everyday perspiration is your
hearing aids’ enemy! We have an
effective, inexpensive, and easy-to-use
solution: the Starkey’s hearing aid
dehumidifier, the Super Star Dri-Kit.
It removes all damaging moisture
from all in-the-ear and behind-the-ear hearing aids. It’s
portable and easy to take with you when traveling. Use
nightly for best results. Just open the jar, and put your
hearing aids on the foam padding that covers the super
absorbent pellets. In the morning, your hearing aids will
be ready to go. After numerous uses, the moisture drawing
pellets can be reactivated and reused. Come in today for
your kit before the weather heats up. Save a little on your
Super Star Dri-Kit! Regularly priced at $12, the kit is only
$10 through May 29, 2015. D
