The Beltone the Multi-Mic+
Designed to work seamlessly with Beltone Serene hearing aids, the Multi-Mic+ will help individuals with hearing loss navigate noisy environments by amplifying the voices of one or multiple speakers while still allowing them to hear other sounds around them.
The Multi-Mic+ is a portable microphone that features Auracast, the next generation of assistive listening technology, enabling users to stay connected to news and entertainment wherever they are. With a push of a button, audio streams directly to the user’s Beltone Serene hearing aids allowing clear, uninterrupted sound at their preferred volume.
Additionally, the Multi-Mic+ also supports Telecoil, FM systems, and DAI/direct audio input, providing versatile connectivity options for a smooth listening experience.
New Beltone Serene Stylings
Beltone is also expanding its Beltone Serene lineup with the launch of its smallest wireless In-the-Canal (ITC) hearing aid and new wireless CROS Behind-the-Ear (BTE) style. The Beltone Serene ITC hearing aid utilizes traditional batteries and provides a discreet and comfortable hearing solution with great wireless connectivity for streaming audio from smartphones and accessories.
Additionally, the Beltone Serene CROS BTE hearing aids are rechargeable and offer another solution for individuals with single-sided deafness, complementing the previously released and well-received Beltone Serene CROS Receiver-in-Ear (RIE) style, the company says. Both styles are Bluetooth Low Energy (LE)-enabled allowing for an enhanced listening experience and providing the gateway to Auracast.
“We are proud to be at the forefront of offering Auracast-ready hearing aids and devices during this exciting time for assistive listening technology,” says David Molella, president, Beltone North America. “The advanced features of Beltone Serene hearing aids, along with the new Multi-Mic+, will empower individuals with hearing loss to connect with the world around them in unprecedented ways. Our commitment to enhancing the lives of our patients through cutting-edge solutions underscores our dedication to delivering quality, comfort, and connectivity.”
All Beltone Serene hearing aids are designed for all-day comfort and are weatherproof and sweatproof. They are also available in a wide range of color options to complement individuals’ unique styles, says Beltone. The new Beltone Multi-Mic+, as well as the Beltone Serene ITC and CROS BTE hearing aids, will be available at Beltone locations nationwide in August 2024.
