| MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 23, 2007 — Unitron Hearing, a Canadian-based company providing innovative hearing products to satisfy every hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget, recently released Moxi™, a sleek Behind-the-Ear device. Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE:DCI), a leading worldwide provide of filtration solutions, has been selected once again by Unitron Hearing to provide acoustic windscreen vents to protect its newest, most cutting edge hearing device from contaminants that could impair its effectiveness.
Since 2003, Donaldson has partnered with Unitron Hearing to provide acoustically transparent venting that reduces wind noise and protects the device microphone with an effective barrier to dirt, dust, hairspray, oils, perspiration, and water. Ara Talaslian, vice president, Research and Development, Unitron Hearing, explains, “One of Moxi™’s key features is the directional microphone that automatically focuses on what the wearer wants to hear and reduces background noise. It was essential that we equip the device with a windscreen vent that will protect it while not interfering with incoming sound, such as the Donaldson solution. We are pleased with the technology, service, and value Donaldson provides us.”
