CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – Beltone has announced the launch of Beltone Envision™, a new line of hearing aids designed to enhance speech clarity and reduce background noise. The devices incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) to help users distinguish between speech and surrounding noise while maintaining awareness of their environment.
Research indicates that more than half of American hearing aid users express a desire to have adopted the technology earlier, with 53% reporting improved social interactions and 40% noting better mental and emotional well-being². Beltone Envision incorporates AI-driven noise management to assist users in navigating various listening environments, automatically adjusting based on environmental sounds and speech cues.
AI technology³ in Beltone Envision is designed to identify and filter out thousands of background noises, such as air conditioning hum, traffic, and wind, while prioritizing speech clarity. The hearing aids are available in a compact microRIE⁴ design and an updated RIE (receiver-in-ear) style, both offering Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Audio for wireless connectivity⁵.
Expanded Connectivity and Auracast™ Integration
Beltone Envision supports the next generation of assistive listening technology through Auracast™ broadcast audio, allowing users to connect to compatible public audio sources. Additionally, Beltone has introduced the Auracast Assistant within the Beltone HearMax™ app, which enables users to access Auracast broadcasts with a single tap.
Beltone is also launching a new essentials range, Beltone Commence™, which includes features such as Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast broadcast audio. The range is intended to provide a hearing solution for individuals with varying levels of hearing loss.
“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”
