The HyperSound Clear 500P Addresses One of the Most Common Hearing Loss Complaints – Being Able to Understand the Television Clearly.
SAN DIEGO, May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR), a leading audio technology company for over 40 years, is excited to welcome May and celebrate National Better Hearing & Speech Month, a great time to ensure you're hearing the world around you. One of the most common early signs of hearing loss is the television volume being too loud, so if you find yourself struggling to hear and understand what's being said on the television, or find your family and friends constantly complaining that the television volume is up too high, then it might be time to visit your local hearing healthcare professional and ask for a demonstration of Turtle Beach's HyperSound Clear™ 500P – the company's revolutionary new home audio system specifically designed to help individuals and their families have a better television listening experience.
Turtle Beach's HyperSound Clear 500P directional audio system for the home helps people hear the TV better.
One of the biggest breakthroughs in audio technology in decades, Turtle Beach's HyperSound Clear 500P has been shown to significantly improve sound clarity and speech intelligibility to help people hear and understand the television more clearly1, allowing them to once again enjoy watching their favorite movies and shows, listen to music and play video games while hearing crisp, clear audio.

"Hearing loss is a serious and widespread healthcare issue and the statistics really are reason for concern," said Rodney Schutt, SVP and General Manager for the HyperSound business at Turtle Beach. "It's the third largest chronic physical condition after heart disease and arthritis, and approximately 50 million Americans have some form of hearing loss, with another 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults at risk – those are significant numbers. We know HyperSound Clear helps people hear the television better, which can improve the quality of life for somebody with hearing loss and their loved ones at home. It's our hope that as people have a better television listening experience by adding the HyperSound Clear 500P to their home entertainment setup, they'll sooner realize how much of their hearing they're missing outside the home, and will be more motivated to seek help with their hearing sooner in life. And with May being National Better Hearing & Speech month, there's no better time than now to go get your ears checked."
HyperSound® technology is a fundamentally new approach to sound delivery that generates a highly directional, narrow beam of audio in the air that can be pointed to a very specific location. Similar to how a flashlight directs a beam of light, Turtle Beach's HyperSound Clear 500P directs a beam of audio to targeted listeners, delivering an immersive, 3D audio experience. The HyperSound Clear 500P works in parallel with the audio from the television or home theater system, so a person sitting in the HyperSound audio beam can independently control the device's volume, while everyone else in the room hears audio from the television speakers or home theater system at a normal volume level. This means that people having trouble hearing the TV, along with family and friends, can once again return to the living room to enjoy the latest home entertainment together.
