SongFinder
$750.00
The SongFinder Basic is adequate for most birders where the main goal is to recover high pitched bird sounds up to around 10,000 Hz (= 10 kHz) in frequency.

The Basic includes three "divide-by" settings: 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. For most users, the 1/2 setting is adequate to bring back most of the midrange bird songs that occur in the 4-7 kHz range , while settings of 1/3 and 1/4 are used periodically to scan the surroundings for those species whose songs approach 8-10 kHz.

The SongFinder Basic has been thoroughly field tested and it has proven itself to be far superior to conventional hearing aids in bringing back the bird songs for users who are high frequency deaf. The special binaural headset allows for accurate determination of directions and distances of singing birds.
