A hearing aid is an electronic, battery-operated device that amplifies sound to help you communicate better and live a more socially active life. Sound is received through a microphone, and a tiny amplifier forms the signal and sends it through a speaker into your ear canal.

 

 Digital signal processing 

 
 

Most of today’s hearing aids are small advanced, digital microcomputers. This means that your Beltone hearing solution will be programmed to match your specific hearing needs and to provide you with a very high sound quality.

 Like a normal ear 

 
 

Sounds from Beltone hearing aids are very much like sounds you used to hear naturally. Beltone’s advanced compression of sound means that Beltone hearing technology mimics the way a normal ear would treat sound. This way, soft sounds are amplified for you to hear them and sudden loud sounds are controlled to avoid the sound level from becoming uncomfortably high for you.

 Hear – even in noisy situations 

 
 

If you have a hearing loss the most difficult situation may be trying to understand conversations in the presence of background noise. Beltone offers advanced features that automatically detect and enhance sounds of speech. The hearing instruments can reduce the amplification of background noise as well as irritating sounds such as humming from computers and refrigerators.

 Identify where sounds come from 

 
 

You can select Beltone hearing aids with two microphones. Dual microphones will enable you to identify sounds based on the direction they are coming from. At the same time directional microphones help you focus on sounds that you want to hear – whether they are coming from the side or from in front of you. That makes is easier to follow conversations.

 Protection from squealing  

 
 

Sometimes hearing aids squeal, whistle, or produce echoes. Beltone hearing aids are programmed to prevent such annoying and sometimes embarrassing situations. The Beltone Feedback Management system ensures this by automatically analyzing the sound environment you are in and adapting the amplification to a comfortable level.

 Options for your individual preference 

 
 

You can choose a Beltone hearing aid with multiple programs, each of which can be tailored to the situations that you most often encounter. This type of hearing aid has a push button that enables you to manually switch between programs when you encounter different environments.

 

Volume control

Beltone hearing aids are offered with a volume control you can adjust manually at any time.

 

Telecoil

You can choose to have a telecoil option with your hearing aid. This is particularly useful in public places such as churches, theatres and airports, where telecoil solutions transmit the sound signal directly to the hearing aid. Tele-loop solutions can also be installed at home.
