　　One day a friend asked my wife Jill if l wanted a hearing aid.“He certainly does.”replied Jill.After hearing about a remarkable new product，Jill finally got up me nerve to ask me if I'd ever thought about getting a hearing aid.“No way.”I said.“It would make me look 20 years older.”“No，no，”she replied.“This is entirely different.It’s Crystal Ear!”Jill was right.Crystal Ear is different—not the old-styled body worn or over—the—ear aid.but an advanced personal sound system so small that it’s like contacts(隐形眼镜)for your ears.And Crystal Ear is super sensitive and powerful，too.You will hear sounds your ears have been

　　missing for years.Crystal Ear will make speech louder，and the sound is pure and natural.

　　I couldn’t believe how tiny it is.It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it’s almost invisible when worn.There are no wires，no behind—the—ear device.Put it in your ear and its ready.to wear mold(形状)fits comfortably.Since it’s not too loud or too fight，you may even forget that you’re wearing it! Use it at work or at play.And if your hearing problem is worse in certain situations，use Crystal Ear only when you need it.
