Sonomax obtains final order for Plan of Arrangement with Benvest New Look Income Fund

	    - Arrangement expected to close on March 2, 2010

	    MONTREAL, March 1 /CNW Telbec/ - Sonomax Hearing Healthcare Inc. (SHH:
TSX Venture) is pleased to announce that it today obtained a final order from
the Québec Superior Court with respect to Sonomax's previously-announced Plan
of Arrangement with Benvest New Look Income Fund (BCI:UN: TSX). It is expected
that the Plan of Arrangement will become effective on Tuesday, March 2, 2010.
	    As previously announced, the Plan of Arrangement provides that Sonomax
shareholders will exchange their Sonomax shares on a one-for-one basis for
shares of a new corporation, Sonomax Technologies Inc., as a result of which
the current shareholders of Sonomax will hold 100% of the outstanding shares
of Sonomax Technologies. As part of the Plan, holders of Sonomax's stock
options, warrants and convertible promissory notes will exchange their
securities for identical securities of Sonomax Technologies. Sonomax
Technologies will have the same Board of Directors and management as Sonomax,
and substantially the same operations and assets but with an additional $1.74
million in cash, less the costs incurred in connection with the Plan of
Arrangement.
	    Sonomax expects that the common shares of Sonomax Technologies will
commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the stock symbol "SHH" on
Monday, March 8, 2010, in substitution for the shares of Sonomax. The shares
of Sonomax will continue to trade until that time.
