he RetroX is a new hearing system designed for those with high frequency hearing loss. Most hearing aids block the ear canal. The RetroX Hearing System works by sending amplified sound directly to the open ear canal. A tiny hollow tube connects the ear canal with the area behind the auricle (placed through the soft tissue) upon which a tiny digital hearing aid is attached. The hearing aid is hidden behind the ear and can be easily removed and replaced at any time by the patient. For more information about this new technology visit the RetroX website.
