LOWELL, MASSACHUSSETTS – Jabra Enhance today introduced its latest innovation: the Jabra Enhance Select 500, touted as their most compact and advanced hearing aid to date. Positioned as the flagship model in the Jabra Enhance lineup of over-the-counter hearing aids, the Enhance Select 500 boasts cutting-edge features such as SoundScape™ for enhanced listening experiences and advanced Bluetooth functionalities, including Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast™, ensuring seamless connectivity for the future.
The Enhance Select 500 features a “Micro RIE (receiver-in-ear)” design that is 25% smaller than standard receiver-in-ear hearing aids and 15% smaller than its predecessor, Jabra Enhance Select 300. Their ergonomic shape makes them as comfortable as they are small, and their low center of gravity prevents unwanted movement on the go.
The hearing aids are designed to emulate the natural hearing process as closely as possible with SoundScape proprietary speech clarity technology. SoundScape prioritizes speech and reduces background noise, for more natural, immersive sound in one-on-one conversations, even in the most complex listening situations. The Enhance Select 500 also offers an added layer of uniquely tailored programming for difficult listening situations like restaurants, one-on-one conversations, and loud environments.
New Jabra Enhance Select 500 over-the-counter hearing aids feature a “micro” design that is 25% smaller than standard receiver-in-ear hearing aids.
The Enhance Select 500 is complete with key features for convenience, including hands-free phone calls when using a compatible Apple or Android device. With TapControl, users can answer calls by double-tapping their ear or hearing aid. The Jabra Enhance Select app makes it easy to adjust your own settings such as modifying bass and treble settings or choosing environment programs to better suit your situation. A single charge powers the Enhance Select 500 for a full day. For on-the-go power, the included charging case holds up to three full charges before having to be plugged in to recharge.
Bluetooth LE Audio is the new standard in connectivity that improves audio quality, battery life, and enables more stable connections. The hearing aids support Bluetooth LE Audio streaming for calls, music and media when using a compatible Apple or Android device.
The Enhance Select 500 is also ready for the future with Bluetooth Auracast™. Many concert venues, event spaces, and transit stations are expected to offer support for live broadcast audio transmission to an unlimited number of Auracast devices. With Auracast capability built-in, the Enhance Select 500 will support these direct audio transmissions*.
“Jabra Enhance Select 500 was designed to enable more people to reach their full hearing potential – now and in the future. With the Select 500, we are providing consumers with our most advanced hearing technology and design today that’s ready for the connectivity experiences to come.”–Steve Jacobs, President of Jabra Hearing
