PURE NATURAL CLARITY
The Oh! ’s ingenious system con
trols noise in six situations: Quiet,
Machine Noise, Wind, Speech in
Noise, Pure Noise, and Speech.
Because your lifestyle is unique,
your hearing aids will be preset
up to five levels of adaptation for
each noise category, which means
you will be able to understand
speech in background noise like
never before. Oh! is also designed
so you’ll experience virtually:
• No Feedback • No Echo
• No Whistling • No Wind Noise
NEW BREAKTHROUGH
Inside the Oh! is multi-core pro
cessing, similar to the technology
in today’s most advanced comput
ers. Incoming signals (speech and
ambient sounds) are analyzed,
identified and classified every six
milliseconds to adapt the hearing
W hatever
your
opinion about hearing
aids before 10 seconds ago, you
can forget it. Now there is an
amazing new hearing technology
that not only gives you the most
incredibly improved hearing but
thanks to the latest advances in
digital bionics provides much
better value than other rival aids.
Called Oh!, its revolutionary
design actually mimics the natural
sound selection processes of the
human ear more faithfully than
anything before it.

Sheriff Gerald Couch
formally announced Mon
day, Jan. 27, his intention to
run again for the head job
at the Hall County Sheriffs
Office.
“I take seriously my
oath to serve and protect
the residents of this grow
ing county, a place I have
called home my entire
life,” Couch said in a state
ment. “I am humbled by
the trust placed in me over
the last eight years and I
remain committed to mak
ing the Sheriffs Office even
better, and the people of
Hall County even safer, in
2020 and beyond.”
Couch, who has served
as Hall County Sheriff
since January 2013,
has been in law
enforcement for 37
years. He has also
“completed more
than 3,500 hours
of advanced law
enforcement train
ing and education,
including supervi
sion and executive
management,” according
to a news release from
Forum Communications.
Couch said officer train

to continue improving.
According to the news
release, total training hours
for employees increased
from 23,000 in 2015 to
37,000 hours in 2019.
“First responders choose
a career of service
before self. They
face many chal

and untold stress
ors that thankfully
few other people
ever have to expe
rience,” Couch said
in a statement.
“We must work
with our Commissioners
and the State to improve
pay and benefits for all first

and will continue to be one
of my main goals: working
toward improving the pay
and retirement benefits
of all officers in the Hall
County Sheriffs Office.”
