Beltone Debuts Latest Hearing Innovations with Beltone Envision(TM) Hearing Aids –The World’s Best Technology for Hearing in Noise And New Auracast Assistant

BALLERUP, Denmark, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beltone proudly introduces its latest innovation: Beltone Envision™ hearing aids. Featuring the world’s best technology for hearing in noise¹, Beltone Envision sets a new standard in noise management and voice clarity. These hearing aids keep users connected to their surroundings while bringing important sounds, like a friend’s voice during a conversation at a busy restaurant, into clear focus.

Only 1 in 5 people who could benefit from hearing aids actually use them, leaving many to miss out on the sounds of life, communicating and socializing². Representing Beltone’s most advanced hearing technology to date, Beltone Envision hearing aids empower users to connect with family, collaborate with colleagues, and engage fully with their surroundings. These devices intelligently detect the environment, noise levels, and speech cues, automatically adjusting settings for an optimal listening experience.

Everyday noises such as air conditioning, traffic, kitchen sounds, and wind noise can be particularly distracting for those with hearing loss. The artificial intelligence (AI)³ inside Beltone Envision is trained to recognize and suppress thousands of unwanted noises while highlighting the sounds and voices users want to hear, ensuring a clearer and more focused listening experience. Beltone’s unique human approach to AI mimics natural behavior, allowing the AI to prioritize sounds based on where the user is looking, not just how loud they are ensuring the user is in control and is the decision maker. A new, dedicated Deep Neural Network (DNN) chip enables the superior listening experience. This DNN-powered solution is up to 17 times more efficient than other leading hearing solutions with directionality and DNN noise reduction, resulting in a significant improvement to speech understanding⁴.

Available in the world’s smallest AI hearing aid⁵ and new streamlined RIE (receiver-in-ear) styles, Beltone Envision offers a discreet, modern, and comfortable solution to hearing loss, along with the clearest Bluetooth^® Low Energy (LE) Audio experience ever⁶, without compromising size, comfort or a full day battery performance. Compatible with Auracast™ broadcast audio, the next generation of assistive listening technology, Beltone Envision helps users stay connected to news and entertainment directly through their hearing aids. Additionally, Beltone is introducing a groundbreaking feature to the highly-rated Beltone HearMax™ app: the Auracast Assistant. This first-of-its-kind feature simplifies the listening experience, enabling users to connect to Auracast broadcasts with just a tap.

Beltone is also launching a new essential range of hearing aids with Beltone Commence™. Suitable for individuals with mild to profound hearing loss, Beltone Commence combines innovative technology, updated designs, and future-proof connectivity, including Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast broadcast audio, offering a powerful hearing solution for all to experience.

“Our goal is to enhance the lives of individuals with hearing loss at any stage of their hearing care journey. Whether you are a new or current hearing aid user, Beltone meets you where you are. With the introduction of our latest innovations, Beltone Envision and Beltone Commence, we are excited to continue offering the most advanced hearing aids that cater to all lifestyles, budgets, and types of hearing loss, ensuring everyone has access to quality hearing care and technology.” – Scott Davis, Hearing division President at GN.

Key Features of Beltone Envision:

Advanced Noise Management & Voice Clarity: Utilizing cutting-edge AI technology, Beltone Envision excels at managing and reducing background noise. For example, in a bustling restaurant, these hearing aids can minimize the clatter of dishes and surrounding conversations, allowing users to clearly hear and engage with their companions.
New & Comfortable Designs: The microRIE style, our smallest option, offers a discreet fit with its gently curved shape, while the updated RIE styles are also ergonomically designed for all-day comfort. Available in a variety of colors, including new Navy Blue and bold Red, these designs cater to personal style preferences.
Effortless Streaming: Users can easily stream TV audio, music, and more directly to their Beltone Envision hearing aids for crystal-clear sound. Additionally, they can take important phone or video calls hands-free⁷ while on the go, simply by tapping their ear or device⁸.

Plus, Beltone Envision and Beltone Commence hearing aids are built to last with an all-over coating that makes them weatherproof and sweatproof, allowing users to enjoy their day regardless of the weather. Available in both rechargeable and replaceable battery styles, the rechargeable option provides all-day power on a single charge⁹, making these hearing aids perfect for on-the-go lifestyles.
