To provide users with a powerful and discreet hearing aid option, Ceretone is offering the Ceretone Core One, which the company says is the smallest over-the-counter (OTC) IIC digital hearing aid for mild to moderate hearing loss. With its human-centric design and intuitive app, the Core One can reportedly be set up in under two minutes, even for beginner hearing aid users.
Facilitating Conversations in Noise
The Ceretone Core One’s dynamic drivers are designed to provide natural, crystal-clear audio through 16 compression channels to facilitate engaging conversations even in noisy situations. Its advanced chipset enables environment sensing to automatically reduce noise and cancel feedback for exceptional audio clarity without distortions. The company says that with nearly zero audio latency, the Ceretone Core One is made to help users stay on top of the conversation flow.
Customizable for Unique Hearing Experiences
Complementing the Ceretone Core One’s hardware is an intuitive smartphone app, through which users can easily customize the sound to best suit their unique hearing preferences. It offers six levels of volume adjustments. Each ear can be adjusted individually. To adapt to various environments, the Ceretone Core One has up to four pre-programmed modes. Standard mode is perfect for quieter settings such as libraries or a study hall, while outdoor and restaurant modes boost audio clarity in noisier situations.
Designed for All-Day Wear
Designed for all-day wear, the Ceretone Core One combines all of its electronics into a single discreet housing that sits nearly invisibly inside the ear. The lightweight housing is crafted using durable materials and is easily removable.
To achieve its universally comfortable pearl-like design, Ceretone studied the ear canal structure information of 1,000 people. The company says the end result is a very lightweight device that’s discreet, comfortable, and weighs under one gram, providing the benefits of larger hearing aids without the bulk. And with an IP66 water and dust ingress resistance rating, the Ceretone Core One is suitable for outdoor use regardless of weather conditions.
“We believe that enhancing your hearing should be easy and comfortable,” says Anthony King, VP of product and customer experience. “This is why we made the world’s smallest over-the-counter hearing aid that delivers exceptional audio while looking and feeling like it’s not even there. By encapsulating all the electronic components into a tiny frame that weighs just one ounce, users can comfortably spend more time listening to the sounds that matter.”
Long Battery Life
Despite its size, the Ceretone Core One lasts up to 13 hours of use on a single charge for unhindered performance throughout the day. The included charging case extends its battery life to 78 hours. Each hearing aid can be charged individually.
