BeHear.ACCESS is a hearable that provides personalized hearing amplification users can self-tune in real time via a companion app. New features in the latest release enable improved understanding of conversation in noisy places, and support for single-sided hearing.
ACCESS looks like a standard Bluetooth headset, but the device is powered by Alango Technologies proprietary audio enhancement and customization software, giving users hearing aid quality technology at a fraction of the cost.
The product has been upgraded to include three features of hyper-advanced hearing aid functionality. Users can define the direction from which to amplify and clarify important sounds, as well as the extent to which they hear their own voice. Additionally, people with unilateral or "single-sided" hearing can benefit from new CROS/BiCROS functionality, which transfers sounds from the non-hearing side to the hearing ear.
