BeHear NOW utilizes voice processing technologies developed by Alango Technologies, Ltd. over the past two decades, such as:
- ListenThrough™ – Passing through important ambient sounds during music playback
- EasyListen™ – slowing down speech dynamically during phone conversations
- Personal Sound Amplifier – providing dynamic, compressed amplification of ambient sounds
- Hearing enhancement functions – including noise reduction, echo cancellation, and more
The BeHear NOW assistive hearing headset belongs to a new category of sound enhancement products. It combines the functionality of three existing devices into one:
- Bluetooth stereo headset for wireless mobile phone calls and media playback
- Assistive hearing device for enhanced intelligibility of speech and other important sounds
- Digital hearing aid for personalized sound amplification across a wide sound spectrum
Customizable for Your Hearing Capabilities and Preferences
The headset itself includes a variety of controls to manage its hearing functions, which work “out of the box” for four different hearing profiles:
- Indoor
- Outdoor
- Crowd
- Live Music
Situational Hearing Enhancement:
When You Need It
- In-person conversations
- Mobile phone conversations
- Music/audio streaming
- Television viewing
- Movies, theater and concert performances
- Outdoors, in nature
These profiles can be modified in real-time, based on the current sound environment and the wearer’s preferences, using the W&H BeHear mobile application. The application also includes:
- A self-administered personal hearing assessment for automatic adjustment of the sound in each of the operational modes (ambient hearing, phone calls, and audio play)
- Direct access to the video tutorials library
- An option to set the balance between left and right ears
- Assistive listening functions for phone calls and media playback
- Various device settings, including default mode behavior, vibration alerts, and more
The W&H BeHear application can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store or Apple Store.
