This was a complete shock to Audien Hearing founder Arthur Garber when he wanted to help his grandmother find a way to restore her hearing. On her limited budget, $5,000 felt like highway robbery. He knew something had to be done.

Arthur spent years developing the Audien Atom because he believes everyone deserves an affordable and effective solution for hearing loss.

Enjoy wine without the “wine headache”

If you love wine, but wine doesn’t love you, you’re not alone. Headaches, sinus pressure, upset stomach, skin flush… you may be surprised to discover that the sulfites and histamines found in all wines could be the culprit.

Dr. David Meadows and his son Derek both suffered with these kinds of reactions, so they spent two years in the laboratory looking for a way to solve the problem and help others.

The ‘Eureka moment’ came one day in the lab when they found the precise means to selectively remove histamines and sulfites without otherwise changing the chemistry of wine. In fact, they also discovered that removing bitter-tasting histamines and sulfites actually enhances the flavors and aromas of wine.

They turned their discovery into The Wand, a compact ‘stir stick’ that purifies your wine without removing healthy antioxidants.

Bottom line: Better tasting wine without the enjoyment-killing side effects. Brilliant!
