Hearing amplifier for live conversations, mobile calls, streamed audio, looped venues

Wear & Hear’s BeHear ACCESS Model II is a stylish hearing amplifier for people who need enhanced hearing in specific situations. It looks (and functions) like a typical Bluetooth® stereo headset but also provides enhancement for all-around hearing (live conversations, mobile phone calls, music play, ambient hearing), as well as assistive listening functionality.

Personalized “out of the box” amplification

Large control buttons and charging cradle for ease of use

Supports directionality for conversation focus

Provides CROS/BiCROS functions for single-sided deafness

Integrated telecoil receivers for looped venues

Rechargeable for up to 13 hours of use

Built-in tinnitus masking sound therapy

Developed by experienced sound engineers and certified audiologists

BeHear ACCESS Model II utilizes voice processing technologies developed by Alango Technologies, Ltd. over the past two decades, such as:

ListenThrough™ – Passing through important ambient sounds during music playback

EasyListen™ – slowing down speech dynamically during phone conversations

Personal Sound Amplifier – providing dynamic, compressed amplification of ambient sounds

SoundFocus™ – three options for determining directionality of hearing amplification (narrow, wide, omni) based on the wearer’s desire to focus on a specific sound source, or a broader range

Tinnitus Masking - Reduce discomfort with built-in, customizable random noise generation technology

Hearing Enhancement Functions – including tone control, noise reduction, echo cancellation, and more

CROS/BiCROS – support for single-sided deafness

The BeHear ACCESS Model II assistive hearing headset belongs to a new category of sound enhancement products. It combines the functionality of three existing devices into one:

Bluetooth stereo headset for wireless mobile phone calls and media playback

Assistive hearing device for enhanced intelligibility of speech and other important sounds

Digital hearing help for personalized sound amplification across a wide sound spectrum, and tinnitus masking noise generation

Situational Enhancement: BeHear ACCESS Model II can enhance hearing for those with normal hearing, as well as people with mild to moderate hearing loss. This is true for all situations:

In-person conversations

Mobile phone conversations

Video calls and conferences (Zoom, Facetime, Skype, etc.)

Music/audio streaming

Television viewing

Movies, theater and concert performances

Outdoors, in nature

These profiles can be modified in real-time, based on the current sound environment and the wearer’s preferences, using the W&H BeHear mobile application. For example:

BeHear ACCESS Model II supports three degrees of directionality, or “sound focus”: narrow, wide, and omni. Narrow focuses on the area directly in front of the wearer’s face, Wide amplifies important sounds in a 180 degree half-circle in front of the wearer, and Omni collects important sounds from all directions.

A typical downside of wearing a pair of earbuds is the “occlusion effect”; a perceived echo of your own voice when your ear canal is sealed. A four-step slider in the W&H BeHear app allows you to control how much you hear yourself when wearing the BeHear ACCESS Model II headset.

The headset itself includes a variety of controls, including the ability to emphasize high or low frequencies (“tone control”), activate/deactivate tinnitus masking noise, and to manage its hearing functions for six different hearing profiles:

Indoor, Outdoor, Crowd, Live Music, Telecoil (Exclusive), and Telecoil (Transparent)

The BeHear app also includes:

Self-administered personal hearing assessment for automatic adjustment of the sound in each of the operational modes (ambient hearing, phone calls, and audio play)

Direct access to the video tutorials library

An option to set the balance between left and right ears

Assistive listening functions for phone calls and media playback

Various device settings, including default mode behavior, vibration alerts, and more

Support for Unilateral Hearing (CROS/BiCROS)

In the CROS and BiCROS implementation in BeHear ACCESS Model II, sound that reaches the microphones on the non-hearing side is transferred to the speaker in the ear bud of the hearing ear. When activated, the function takes effect for all hearing modes: Personal Hearing, Mobile Calls, and Audio Play. Furthermore, this function helps people with unilateral hearing to enjoy music and other stereo audio content. When activated, all streamed stereo audio is mixed automatically down to mono and reproduced in the functional ear, thus allowing people to enjoy the full sound spectrum without missing the channel corresponding to the other, damaged side.

1 year warranty from the manufacturer

Note: BeHear ACCESS Model II headsets are not hearing aids and are not designed to restore hearing.
