Beltone is launching its Beltone Envision hearing aids. These hearing aids are designed with what the company says are the world’s best technology for hearing in noise [i] to keep users connected to their surroundings while bringing important sounds, like a friend’s voice during a conversation at a busy restaurant, into clear focus.
More than half of American hearing aid wearers wish they had gotten their hearing aids sooner, with 53% citing an improved social life,and 40% citing improved mental and emotional health [ii]. Representing Beltone’s most advanced hearing technology to date, Beltone Envision hearing aids empower users to connect with family, collaborate with colleagues, and fully engage with their surroundings. These devices are made to intelligently detect the environment, noise levels, and speech cues, automatically adjusting settings for an optimal listening experience, according to the company.
Everyday noises such as air conditioning, traffic, kitchen sounds, and wind noise can be particularly distracting for those with hearing impairments. The artificial intelligence (AI) [iii] inside Beltone Envision is trained to recognize and suppress thousands of unwanted noises while highlighting the sounds and voices users want to hear, to ensure a clearer and more focused listening experience.
Available in reportedly the world’s smallest AI microRIE [iv] and new streamlined RIE (receiver-in-ear) styles, Beltone Envision offers a discreet, modern, and comfortable solution to hearing loss, along with what Beltone calls the clearest Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio experience ever [v]. Compatible with Auracast broadcast audio, the next generation of assistive listening technology, Beltone Envision helps users stay connected to news and entertainment directly through their hearing aids. Additionally, Beltone is introducing a new feature to the highly rated Beltone HearMax app: the Auracast Assistant. This first-of-its-kind feature simplifies the listening experience in public spaces, enabling users to connect to Auracast broadcasts with just a tap.
Beltone is also launching a new essential range of hearing aids with Beltone Commence. Suitable for individuals with mild to profound hearing loss, Beltone Commence combines innovative technology, updated designs, and future-proof connectivity, including Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast broadcast audio, offering a powerful hearing solution for all to experience.
“Our goal is to enhance the lives of individuals with hearing loss at any stage of their hearing care journey,” says David Molella, President of Beltone North America. “Whether you are a new or current hearing aid user, Beltone meets you where you are. With the introduction of our latest innovations, Beltone Envision and Beltone Commence, we are excited to continue offering the most advanced hearing aids that cater to all lifestyles, budgets, and types of hearing loss, ensuring everyone has access to quality hearing care and technology.”
Key Features of Beltone Envision:
Advanced Noise Management & Voice Clarity: Beltone Envision uses cutting-edge AI to prioritize sounds based on where the user is looking, not just how loud they are. This offers a more intuitive listening experience, seamlessly aligning with the user’s perception of their environment. It’s about intelligently enhancing the sounds that matter most, not just amplifying them.
New & Comfortable Designs: The microRIE style offers a discreet fit with its gently curved shape, while the updated RIE styles are smaller and ergonomically designed for all-day comfort. Available in a variety of colors, including a sleek new Navy Blue and bold Red, these designs cater to personal style preferences.
Effortless Streaming: Users can easily stream TV audio, music, and more directly to their Beltone Envision hearing aids for crystal-clear sound. Additionally, they can take important phone or video calls hands-free[vi] while on the go, simply by tapping their ear or device[vii].
Plus, Beltone Envision and Beltone Commence hearing aids are built to last with an all-over coating that makes them weatherproof and sweatproof, allowing users to enjoy their day regardless of the weather. Available in both rechargeable and replaceable battery styles, the rechargeable option provides all-day power on a single charge[viii], making these hearing aids perfect for on-the-go lifestyles.
The new Beltone Envision and Beltone Commence hearing aids will be available at Beltone locations nationwide starting on February 20, 2025. For more information, visit www.beltone.com.
