State-of-the-Art Hearing Aids Use 2.4 GHz "Ear to Ear Technology"to Communicate with Each Other.
November 1, 2012 - Chicago, IL – https://www.beltone.com/ – Beltone has announced the introduction of the Beltone Promise™, a new generation of virtually invisible hearing aids that are designed to simulate the way ears naturally process sound in various hearing environments. Available in custom, RIE, MIC and BTE models, the Beltone Promise™ uses an industry-leading 2.4 GHz signal to analyze the hearing situation and automatically adjust.
“The Beltone Promise technology is truly unique because it allows each hearing aid to analyze its surroundings and then share information with the other. This helps wearersfocus on the speech they want to hear without missing out on the outside sounds around them,” says Dr. John Cariola, Director of Product Management at Beltone. “This is especially important in noisy environments where speech and ambient sound are often competing.”
The new Beltone Promise™ offers a 2.4 GHz “Ear to Ear” technology that is the foundation for the following features and allows data from one hearing instrument to be wirelessly transmitted to the other.
· CrossLink Directionalityfacilitates genuine binaural processing and is the most unique and differentiating feature in the Beltone Promise. It utilizes Beltone’s 2.4 GHz Ear to Ear Technology so each hearing instrument can “talk” to the other and automatically adjust for the most beneficial directional microphone settings.
· Ear-to-Ear Synchronizationallows program and volume changes from one hearing instrument to be mimicked in the other seamlessly using Beltone’s proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless protocol.
· Asymmetrical Phone Handling automatically activates the phone program for the hearing instrument being held to the ear. At the same time, the amplification of the other hearing aid in the set is reduced. This system allows the wearer to monitor their surroundings when on the phone while not being disruptive to the phone conversation.
Beltone was the first hearing aid company to offer an entire line of 2.4 GHz wireless accessories that works without cords or neckloops. Hearing aid users can also create their own Personal Wireless Network™ by combining Beltone Promise wireless-enabled hearing instruments and Beltone Direct Line wireless accessories. Beltone’s exclusive technology sends clear sound from your TV, stereo, PC, phone, iPod® and more, directly into your hearing aids. You can also use the Beltone myPAL to stream someone’s voice, or your music, directly to your hearing aids—at home or on the go.
