Introducing Beltone’s Multi-Mic+, the World’s First Auracast™ Enabled Portable Microphone, and Additional Beltone Serene™ Hearing Aid Styles
CHICAGO, Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Beltone, one of America’s top rated hearing care providers, will be launching the first-ever Auracast™ broadcast audio portable microphone with the new Beltone Multi-Mic+ along with additional Auracast-ready Beltone Serene™ hearing aid styles on August 22, 2024. Designed to work seamlessly with Beltone Serene hearing aids, the Multi-Mic+ will help individuals with hearing loss navigate noisy environments by amplifying the voices of one or multiple speakers while still allowing them to hear other sounds around them.
The innovative Multi-Mic+ is the first portable microphone in the world to feature Auracast, the next generation of assistive listening technology, enabling users to stay connected to news and entertainment wherever they are. With a push of a button, audio streams directly to the user’s Beltone Serene hearing aids allowing clear, uninterrupted sound at their preferred volume. Additionally, the Multi-Mic+ also supports Telecoil, FM systems, and DAI/direct audio input, providing versatile connectivity options for a smooth listening experience.
Beltone is also expanding its Beltone Serene lineup with the launch of its smallest wireless In-the-Canal (ITC) hearing aid and new wireless CROS Behind-the-Ear (BTE) style. The Beltone Serene ITC hearing aid utilizes traditional batteries and provides a discreet and comfortable hearing solution with great wireless connectivity for streaming audio from smartphones and accessories. Additionally, the Beltone Serene CROS BTE hearing aids are rechargeable and offer another solution for individuals with single-sided deafness, complementing the previously released and well-received Beltone Serene CROS Receiver-in-Ear (RIE) style. Both styles are Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE)-enabled allowing for an enhanced listening experience and providing the gateway to Auracast, which will open up a world of possibilities for connectivity.
“We are proud to be at the forefront of offering Auracast-ready hearing aids and devices during this exciting time for assistive listening technology. The advanced features of Beltone Serene hearing aids, along with the new Multi-Mic+, will empower individuals with hearing loss to connect with the world around them in unprecedented ways. Our commitment to enhancing the lives of our patients through cutting-edge solutions underscores our dedication to delivering quality, comfort, and connectivity.” – David Molella, President of Beltone North America.
