ClearCast Hearing has launched a personal assistive listening (PAL) device that provides a practical, easy, and inexpensive alternative to traditional hearing aids, according to the company.
Designed by board-certified ENT Physician, Sreek Cherukuri, MD, ClearCast PAL is designed to enhance the lives of consumers by making conversations clearer and listening to the television effortless.
Cherukur, an over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid solutions provider, created the solution after realizing many people were still struggling with proper hearing care, despite the availability of hearing aids.
With ClearCast PAL, users can simply slip on the neckband, insert the earbuds, and adjust the volume to enjoy conversations through the neckband’s microphone. When listening to the television or in situations involving more significant hearing loss, the included wireless microphone can be strategically placed near the sound source, maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio and transmitting that sound directly to the user’s earbuds.
“Unlike conventional hearing aids, ClearCast PAL offers a dual microphone mode designed to empower users to hear what they want, when they want, near or far, without the need for all-day hearing aid usage,” says Cherukuri. “It’s like having a pair of reading glasses or ‘cheaters for your ears.'”
ClearCast PAL offers a versatile listening experience with two microphone modes to ensure clear hearing, even for individuals with severe hearing loss, surpassing that of traditional hearing aids, the company says. Notably, ClearCast uses 2.4 Ghz digital technology, which the company says is a superior choice for synchronizing audio with lip movement compared to the latency effect with Bluetooth, enhancing the overall listening experience.
