A Day In The Life of Jeane
Morning - Brunch
-It was a busy morning at Jeane's favorite spot, but the elevated noise level didn't bother her in the least.
-Zounds' sophisticated Noise Cancellation eliminates unwanted background noise while the Directional Microphones focus on the sounds in front of her, making it easy for Jeane to have a conversation with her friends.
Day - Playing Cards
-The noise from the players at the other card tables used to be a problem with Jeane's old hearing aids, causing her to tune out of conversations.

-Because her Zounds hearing aids have Automatic Volume Control, Jeane clearly understands her friends, whatever the environment.
Night - Using the Phone
-Jeane's granddaughter calls, saying she scored a goal in her soccer game.
-Jeane speaks to her using the phone right up to her ear.
-Unlike her old hearing aids, Jeane has confidence in the Zounds Feedback Cancellation, which eliminates the annoying squealing/whistling common in other hearing aids.

-At the eagerly anticipated Natural History Museum benefit, the noise levels are high due to the conversations and music about the ballroom.
