Custom Hearing Aid Programming and Personalized Listening Modes
Everyone’s hearing profile is unique. This is why Audible hearing aids are custom-programmed to support your precise hearing needs, lifestyle, and listening preferences.
Programming is configured by your specialist as the baseline customization of your hearing aids. They program your hearing prescription according to your test results and adjust exactly how much amplification you need across different sound frequencies (pitch) and loudness levels.
Once your base settings are programmed, Audibel hearing aids can take customization even further with personalized listening modes.
Personalized Listening Modes
Personalized listening modes are situation-specific settings designed to help you hear your best in the environments you encounter in daily life. Rather than just raising the volume, each mode instantly switches to pre-defined settings that suit your precise needs in the immediate environment you are in.
For example, you can create personalized listening modes for:
- Traveling in a vehicle
- Loud restaurants
- Quite spaces at homes
- Outdoor or windy environments
- Work meetings
- Phone calls
- And so much more
You can easily create and switch between personalized listening modes in the My Audibel app. In the app, you can also ‘geotag’ specific locations, so your hearing aids automatically switch to a custom listening mode every time you are there.
TeleHear AI Remote Hearing Aid Adjustments
Audibel TeleHear AI is an industry-first feature in the My Audibel app that uses artificial intelligence to provide instant, remote hearing aid adjustments. All you have to do is describe the sound issue you are experiencing, and the tool analyzes your environment and instantly adjusts your settings to fix the problem in real time.
This innovative feature also allows you to connect with a hearing specialist via video or phone call, so you can manage more complex adjustments remotely, saving you from having to visit a clinic for manual fine-tuning.
With TeleHear, you can get access to personalized hearing care from virtually anywhere.
The Audibel Gen AI Smart Assistant
The Audibel Gen AI Smart Assistant is a voice-activated virtual assistant built into the My Audibel smartphone app. Designed exclusively for Audibel AI hearing aids, it works similarly to Siri or Alexa, allowing you to perform tasks and get answers to questions, all hands-free.
Using simple voice commands, you can accomplish a variety of tasks with your AI hearing aid Smart Assistant, including:
- Hands-Free Control: Adjust hearing aid volume, mute devices, change programs, and more.
- Set Reminders: Set alarms, timers, and calendar reminders that play alerts through your hearing aids.
- Ask Questions: Ask broad questions and get immediate answers streamed directly to your hearing aids.
- Troubleshooting: Get on-demand guidance to help resolve issues with your hearing aids or wireless accessories.
As part of our latest AI-powered hearing ecosystem, the Audibel Gen AI Smart Assistant helps create a more personalized hearing experience that puts greater control right at your fingertips.
Automatic Sound Optimization
At Audible, our latest AI hearing technology is designed to automatically adapt to the world around you. Our newest hearing aids continuously analyze your acoustic surroundings and instantly adjust settings in real time to reduce background noise and maximize speech clarity without requiring manual changes.
At the heart of this innovation is the G3 Gen AI Neuro Processor, our most advanced sound processing technology to date:
- The G3 Gen AI Neuro Processor is an advanced computer chip that processes sound 4X faster than previous versions while using significantly less battery power and delivering a more natural sound experience.
But that’s not all. With the power of our G3 sound processor also comes the world’s first DNN–powered (Deep Neural Network) directionality system, DNN 360.
DNN 360: 360-Degrees of Sound Optimization
DNN 360 is an industry-first sound processing system that continuously scans your environment in all directions, analyzing speech, noise, and even motion to adapt to your surroundings in real-time. This technology enables your hearing aids to prioritize speech while still preserving important environmental sounds.
The result is a more natural listening experience and better speech clarity than ever before.
Clinically Proven Performance: 28% Better Speech Recognition
Our latest hearing technology is trained to recognize and enhance the unique characteristics of human speech. Clinical testing shows that this technology is able to deliver up to 28% better speech intelligibility compared to previous technology.
Over time, Audible AI hearing aids can even learn to recognize and prioritize familiar voices. By analyzing unique vocal characteristics (like pitch and rhythm), your hearing aids will automatically enhance the voice clarity of friends, family, coworkers, and other important people whenever they speak.
This clinically tested technology makes conversations with the people you interact with most often clearer and more effortless.
Built-In Motion Sensors
The latest Audibel hearing aids feature built-in motion sensors that work with our exclusive AI technology and the My Audibel app to better understand how you listen, move, and engage in your daily life.
These sensors enable some of our most advanced wellness and safety features, including:
- Mental engagement tracking
- Daily step count and other fitness metrics
- Respiratory rate tracking
- Automatic fall detection and alerts
- Balance Builder exercises and stability assessments
Below, we take a closer look at these amazing health and wellness features and how they support personalized hearing care:
Daily Mental Engagement Tracking
Daily Mental Engagement Tracking is a health and wellness feature built into our latest AI-powered hearing aids. Using the built-in sensors and the My Audibel App, it monitors how much you use your hearing aids for active listening and social interaction.
The Daily Mental Engagement tool uses a three-part scoring system:
- Use Score: Tracks your hearing aid daily wear time. Your Use Score will increase as you wear them more, with the goal being 12 hours (or more) each day.
- Environment Score: Records how often you wear your hearing aids in different listening environments throughout the day. You can increase your Environment Score by wearing them in the car, at your favorite restaurant, at the movie theater, in the grocery store, and more!
- Interaction Score: Measures your daily interactions and audio stimulation that your brain needs to remain active and healthy. Boost your Interaction Score by communicating with other people or by streaming audio from phone calls, podcasts, music, or even videos through your hearing aids.
These personalized scores help paint a clear picture of how your Audibel hearing aids are actively supporting both your hearing and long-term cognitive health.
Health and Activity Monitoring
Using data from built-in motion sensors, Audibel AI hearing aids can also track your daily steps, physical activity levels, and even your respiratory rate. You can easily view your daily health and activity metrics in the My Audibel hearing aid app and even set personalized fitness goals to stay on top of progress.
Since hearing aids are meant to be worn 12+ hours a day, they are well-suited to provide a consistent and accurate picture of your daily activity.
Fall Detection and Balance Builder Exercises
Hearing loss and balance are closely linked. Mild degrees alone can triple the risk of falling1, often causing vertigo and other symptoms that can make you feel less stable on your feet. Thanks to the built-in motion sensors, Audibel AI hearing aids offer multiple tools to address this:
- Automatic Fall Detection and Alerts: Audibel hearing aids can detect sudden changes in orientation that indicate a fall. When a fall is detected, an alert is immediately sent to your emergency contacts, ensuring timely help.
- Balance Builder Exercises: The My Audibel app also offers guided stability exercises that you can do at home. These step-by-step balance exercises and movements are designed to strengthen the muscles and reflexes associated with good posture and coordination.
- Balance Assessments: The app’s self-guided balance assessments use the motion sensors in your hearing aids to evaluate how steady you are on your feet to help you catch early signs of balance issues.
These life-changing features provide actionable insight to help you and your healthcare provider monitor your stability, identify balance issues, and take proactive steps to prevent falls.
