Panasonic Digital Hearing Instruments Earn Good Housekeeping Seal
Panasonic's JZ Series Digital Hearing Instruments Feature a Unique Contemporary Design with High-Performing Features
CHICAGO, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Corporation of North America today announces that the company's JZ Series digital hearing instruments have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal after evaluation by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. The JZ Series, a newly-designed hearing instrument that resembles an MP3 player in style, is currently being exhibited at the AudiologyNow! Conference in Chicago's McCormick Place Convention Center at Panasonic booth #1473.
"After a review by the experts at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, we're thrilled to welcome the Panasonic hearing aid products to our family of Good Housekeeping Seal-holding products," said Patricia Haegele, Senior Vice President/Publisher of Good Housekeeping. "For over 100 years the Seal has been relied upon by consumers in helping them with their product purchasing decisions."
The JZ Series is a palm-sized unit featuring an LCD screen and a stereo binaural headset (earphone with microphones), created for increased usability and designed to remain comfortable for long hours of wear. The Panasonic JZ Series is ideal for individuals with dexterity challenges, impaired vision and those with situational hearing loss, such as when watching TV. Available in red, blue, and silver colors, this digital hearing instrument features a Scene Select function that allows the user to view the listening modes on the LCD screen and select the most appropriate mode based upon the surrounding environment from the four modes available. The JZ Series includes a rechargeable battery that can easily be charged by placing the main unit in the charging cradle, or it can use commercial AAA alkaline batteries.
"Panasonic is honored to have received the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal, which further validates the quality, convenience and comfort we strive to provide our customers with our new line of JZ Series digital hearing instruments," said Yoshi Yuasa, Senior Vice President, Panasonic Corporation of North America. "Panasonic digital hearing instruments are high-performing, offering long battery life and exceptional quality. Furthermore, they are comfortable to wear, easy to use and have an attractive design."
Since 1909, the Seal has been granted to products that have been submitted for and after an evaluation by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. As part of Good Housekeeping's policy, if a product receiving the Seal proves to be defective within two years from the date it was first sold to a consumer by an authorized retailer, Good Housekeeping will replace the product or refund the purchase price.
