Researchers have developed a brain-inspired algorithm that significantly improves speech recognition in noisy environments for people with hearing loss by mimicking how the brain filters sound.
New deep neural network noise reduction technology found in Phonak Audéo Sphere Infinio improves listening effort for hearing aid users.
Rexton's new hearing aid platform supports wearers in group conversations to hear multiple voices simultaneously, even amid background noise.
The new solution strives to “deliver the perfection of natural sound by expanding the benefits of Widex PureSound to more users; adding advanced software and hardware technologies that support engagement and improved well-being; and elevating design standards for a user experience that instills pride and confidence in ownership.”

This 3-part series is a high-level review of the data that has accumulated across more than 10 years of clinical research with the technology at the heart of the Earlens system. In Part 1, we dove into the speech understanding data to demonstrate how increasing the audible bandwidth of processed sound results in improved speech understanding performance from several perspectives. In Part 2, we discussed the perceptual benefits to naturalness and overall sound quality. Finally, in Part 3, we’ll deep dive into the restoration of audibility and how the Earlens approach to overall audibility improvement is reliably achieved in fittings via direct drive—as well as who may benefit from this.
