Beltone Touch - a world-class vanishing act 
Beltone Touch puts the hearing aid back where most hearing impaired prefer it to be – hidden in the ear. Its secret is the exciting new design that makes it smaller than ever. 

 

 We hid it for you 

 
 

Cosmetics is a top three concern for the hearing impaired – and probably the number one reason for not getting hearing aids. The Beltone Touch is a practically invisible hearing instrument that is worn entirely in the ear. So now your customers can:
 

Hide it

  • Fit 90% of all hearing losses from mild to severe with a hearing aid that completely hides in the ear.

  • At least 36% smaller than our second-smallest hearing instrument.
  • Worn in the ear because so many hearing impaired people prefer it that ways so small it almost vanishes into your ears.

 


Wear it

  • Sits securely in the ear so glasses, hairbrushes and the like won’t knock it off.
  • Practically becomes a part of the wearer: when they move, it moves with them.
  • Less embarrassing feedback due to the distance between the microphone and receiver.

    
Hear it

  • Natural amplification due to the combined influence of pinna and ear canal.
  • Natural localization because Beltone Touch uses the ear’s innate ability to help people localize sound.
  • Wind noise is essentially eliminated because the mic is shielded in the upper end of the concha.
  • Smart Gain provides automatic gain adjustment for seven different acoustic environments.      

“It fits entirely in my ear? Then that’s the one I want.”

 

“I can use the telephone just like normal hearing people can and I also like the fact of being able to comfortably wear glasses” (Alice Berman, Beltone Touch trial participant)

 

  

 
 

  

 
 

  

 
 

  

 
 

  

 
 
Models and design 
Hide it – 97% more confident 
 
 
 

Beltone Touch is a groundbreaking family of in-ear instruments that fits 90% of all hearing losses.
It includes:

  • the world’s smallest (custom) power instrument
  • the world’s first open in-ear device 

How do you make the world's smallest hearing aid even smaller?

The secret of Beltone Touch is its exciting new design. We pulled the microphone out of the shell and tucked it neatly into the concha. Then we hid Beltone Touch away – deep inside the ear canal – where you can hardly see it at all.

 


Small for all

There is a Beltone Touch for almost everybody, those with mild to moderate hearing losses as well as those with severe hearing loss.

 

Custom Touch

This model is much smaller and more powerful than any other completely-in-the-canal device. It’s appropriate, for example, for people with particularly narrow ear canals or people who need more gain. It can be fitted with:

  • an extra large vent for an open fit
  • a high power receiver for the world’s smallest high power in-ear hearing aid.

Designed for discretion

We plucked the microphone out of the shell and hid it discreetly away in the concha – where it’s truly invisible on most people and scarcely perceptible on many more.

 

It just won’t show

A thin transparent tube with a skin-tone wire provides a subtle connection between shell and microphone. This also helps ensure that the device remains securely placed where it’s least likely to show.

Features 
Hear it – think like an ear 
 
 
 

The world’s best hearing system is the healthy human ear. With Beltone Touch, we’ve made the most of the ear’s characteristics.
So you can offer:

  • Natural gain
  • Natural localization
  • Natural protection
  • Smart Gain


Natural protection – natural relief
By placing the microphone in the concha – rather than behind the ear – we made it possible for Beltone Touch to make use of the ear’s own sound-collecting and attenuating traits. This provides benefits like more gain, immunity to wind noise and natural localization.



 
Three models

Beltone Touch is offered with three different algorithm packages:

Touch17       
Beltone Touch17 is perfect for your active and demanding clients. It includes advanced features like Curvilinear Rapid 17, which can be adjusted to precisely fit the customer’s dynamic range. Beltone Touch17 also offers the groundbreaking Tinnitus Breaker, and the intelligent noise reduction system, Sound Cleaner.
