Models and design
Small. Elegant. Discreet.
With Beltone Reach, the guiding principle is to give your clients exactly the solution they want. And when it comes to cosmetics, that means the smaller, the better. Now you can fit any type of hearing loss from mild to severe with this attractive product family. All models in this series have raised the performance bar and reduced the size dimensions.
The luxury of choice
Match any cosmetic preference and let your client choose from this wonderful pallete of colors and surfaces to find that one look and feel that makes him beam with confidence.
More flexible, smaller and more attractive
Choose between three types of Beltone Reach hearing aids:
Receiver-in-ear (RIE)
This model is one of the smallest on the market and can be fitted to your clients regardless of the nature of their hearing loss. Whether standard or high power, it offers excellent performance and sound quality. And you can easily change all parts as well as the color to match your client’s requirements.
Behind-the-ear (BTE)
A newly designed line of BTEs gives you the option to offer significantly smaller, high-performing instruments. Beltone Reach BTEs are also available with a practically invisible thin-tube solution for open fitting, providing a cosmetically attractive and occlusion-free hearing experience. Even the high power BTE is markedly smaller than you would expect.
Custom-made in-the-ear (ITE)
Beltone Reach offers the versatile palette of Beltone custom products. Depending on the nature of the hearing loss, the shape of the ear and your clients’ preferences, you can offer very discreet solutions with an extensive choice of functions, such as directionality, push button and volume control.
Features
A distinct advantage: Superior understanding
Words aren’t just important; they’re essential. Beltone Reach includes a variety of sophisticated directionality options, each of which can be adjusted to provide the best balanced understanding of speech. Your clients will feel at ease and in control – in all environments.
Smart Beam Steering - the world’s first.
With Automatic Smart Beam Steering the hearing aid automatically finds the optimal directional beam width. Even in constantly changing surroundings, such as at a party or when coming out of a crowded train, the customer is ensured continued maximum focus on the signal of interest.
Monitored Directionality
Monitored Directionality restores the brain’s natural ability to tune in or out, while allowing customers to keep complete contact with the environment around them.
It is an exciting new technology which enables your customer to understand speech in the presence of background noise, while it at the same time eliminates the “closed in” feeling that can accompany directional mode.
When choosing Monitored Directionality, the microphone setting will automatically be set differently between the two hearing instruments. Using speech test and hearing loss information, the sophisticated decision tree within the softwear decides, which instrument will be set in directional mode (focus ear) and which hearing instrument will be in omni-directional mode (Monitor Ear). Find more information under the "downloads" section.
A distinctive sense of freedom
Beltone Reach reacts to changing sound environments and automatically adjusts the amplification level to fit the acoustic scene. Your clients don’t have to adjust controls as often and can feel free.
Smart Gain
With the Smart Gain feature, you can ensure that the client is provided with the correct amount of amplification in different listening situations. Smart Gain can be individually set for 7 different environments. This ensures excellent speech intelligibility – even for soft speech – as well as optimal comfort and awareness of the surrounding sound environment.
Tinnitus? Get peace of mind
Your clients who suffer from Tinnitus can benefit from the Tinnitus Breaker feature in Beltone Reach. It generates low volume white noise to help take their mind off of the tinnitus sounds.
