Christopher Melenciano receives technological support to boost his sports career
The prominent Dominican athlete Christopher Melenciano, who has held the national flag high in speed disciplines for the deaf, has received significant support for his personal and professional development. The company Audioprotésica Hearing Center delivered high-tech hearing aids, seeking to significantly improve the athlete’s quality of life and interaction with his environment.
This initiative arose after Melenciano’s story of overcoming adversity became known in a recent interview, where the athlete detailed the challenges he faces due to his hearing condition. Following the impact of his testimony, specialists from Audioprotésica Hearing Center contacted the runner and his family to begin a specialized evaluation process.
Cutting-edge technology for profound hearing loss
Studies conducted by the medical team confirmed that the sprinter has profound sensorineural hearing loss in both ears. Given this diagnosis, Signia brand devices were selected, state-of-the-art rechargeable equipment designed to optimize communication clarity and facilitate his integration into the various activities the athlete performs.
We will deliver the latest model of Signia hearing aids, rechargeable, with the latest technology in hearing solutions that will allow you to hold a conversation, even with your disability, and will allow you to have better performance in all your sports activities.
