Beltone, part of the GN Group, announced its latest Beltone Serene hearing aids. Three devices that come in two non-rechargeable receiver-in-ear (RIE) styles and a brand new microRIE, which is Beltone's tiniest rechargeable hearing aid yet. These new Beltone hearing aids are also Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast ready, and the microRIE adds the convenience of answering calls with just a double-tap on the ear. Additionally, Beltone intends to release a compatible TV-Streamer+ with Auracast.
Beltone describes the Serene hearing aids as a cutting-edge solution to help individuals hear in even the noisiest of situations, allowing users to focus on what people are saying and hear with confidence in any setting. These weatherproof and sweatproof hearing aids are designed for everyday life and seamlessly connect to the users' favorite devices. All three Beltone Serene models support Bluetooth LE Audio low energy wireless connectivity including Auracast broadcast audio. As Beltone says, "once Auracast begins to roll out, this feature will enable users to stream sound in public settings directly to their hearing aids such as at airports, stadiums and restaurants."
All the Beltone Serene hearing aids offer a range of advanced benefits to individuals with mild to profound hearing loss, with enhanced speech understanding, and all-day comfort in a discreet design. The design is also suitable for individuals with single-sided deafness, as it comes with a new wireless CROS transmitter that routes sound from the poorer ear to the better ear to ensure greater audibility all around, so users never miss a moment.
The new rechargeable Beltone Serene microRIE is 25% smaller than its standard RIE and is packed with advanced technology, allowing for all-day battery life. Wireless connectivity allows users to control and make adjustments and virtual appointments through the Beltone HearMax app. And users can simply double-tap on their ear to take calls and stay connected on-the-go.
Additionally, Beltone will also be releasing a compatible new TV-Streamer+, which allows users to stream audio directly from their TV to their Beltone Serene hearing aids. The TV-Streamer+ supports Auracast broadcast audio and is easy to set up and use, providing a smooth and enjoyable listening experience for the user without interrupting or changing the volume for others.
"Beltone Serene is not just a hearing aid, it's a game-changer for those with hearing loss," says David Molella, President of Beltone North America. "With its advanced technology, natural sound, and exceptional speech understanding, these devices will allow individuals to confidently navigate noisy environments and stay connected with loved ones. We're proud to introduce this new generation of hearing solutions and look forward to continuing to improve the lives of those with hearing loss."
Available in 8 color options and with a telecoil option for the non-rechargeable RIE models, the Beltone Serene hearing aids and the new TV-Streamer+ will be available starting October 2023.
