Processing Technology and Features
“Together we empower people to hear and communicate better.” This mission statement of Bernafon hearing aids is shaped by passion, technological competence, and a commitment to beneficial partnerships with their hearing aid users.
Bernafon’s unique ChannelFree technology is able to enhance the high-pitched tones and reinforce the harmonious perception of music, speech, and sound without splitting the sound signal in order to deliver a richer, more natural hearing experience.
Audio efficiency technology is used to coordinate numerous digital functions that work together to boost hearing comfort in noisy environments, eliminate audio feedback, and strengthen speech comprehension in any listening environment.
BeFlex technology helps refine the fitting process and makes it possible for individual users to find the setting that works best for each situation by switching between sound profiles.
Combined with the EasyControl Connect app, you’ll be able to take advantage of online appointments and adjust programming, as well as receive real-time remote fitting and/or programming assistance from the manufacturer or your hearing care professional from any location with an internet connection.
