Starkey Hearing Technologies recently launched the new VFusion(TM) Rechargeable
System with ZPower batteries. 'This represents an important first step in
changing the Audiology market's paradigm from disposable to rechargeable
batteries,' said Dr. Ross Dueber, President and CEO of ZPower. 

ZPower has spent several years in field-testing and market research with many
key players in the Audiology sector. The result is a total solution that
delivers: 

  -- A high-performance rechargeable power source  - which is especially ideal
     for advanced wireless hearing instruments
  -- Power management and charger design services - to help manufacturers
     implement a new battery solution quickly and easily
  -- A roadmap for future improvement - to accommodate the expanding power
     requirements of future product designs

'We've found that design support is a critical element for our manufacturer
partners. Our power management and charging expertise makes a big difference in
helping them adapt current hearing aid products and electronics to ZPower
batteries,' said Dueber. 

A rechargeable battery system provides many benefits to hearing aid wearers
including allowing users to wear aids during the day and then provide
convenient charging at night. A ZPower battery can power a hearing aid for over
18 hours each day and will last for one year with average use. ZPower batteries
also generate less environmental waste as compared to disposable batteries and
are fully recyclable.
