Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.       Millions of people need help with hearing…but are reluctant to invest in hearing aids.    ClearCast is among the companies offering alternative, over the counter solutions…and its approach is a bit different. An around the neck device with ear buds that you pop in as needed.  And, says Founder and CEO Dr. Sreek Cherukuri..

“There’s a built in microphone, when you want to have a conversation or hear something right near you.  But really the secret to the whole operation is what we call the Magic Mic.  This is a wireless microphone that you can place near any sound source or conversation source.  An example would be the television.”

ClearCast is designed for ease of use …and enhances dialogue…separating it from background noise.  The price..about 400 dollars.    Find more at www.clearcasthearing.com.
