Priced at $849.00, they include Bluetooth connectivity and an app, allowing you to make adjustments depending on your environment.
SoundControl Hearing Aids are water resistant to light exposures of rain or water.After years of rumors, Bose finally released their first-ever over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids – the Bose SoundControl.Ĭurrently available in Massachusetts, Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas, these new devices are available to purchase without visiting a hearing professional, having a hearing assessment, or even having your ears checked for wax buildup. The hearing aid uses size 312 replaceable zinc-air batteries that run for up to 56 hours, or around four days when used for 14 hours per day. Step-by-step instructions on setting up the hearing aids are available in the app. The open tips allow some external sounds to enter your ears, allowing for more natural voices, while the closed tips block most external sound, allowing for more control over the sound.
With three sizes of eartips and two designs, the self-fit design of the hearing aids should provide all-day comfort. The Bose SoundControl Hearing Aids are barely visible to other and more discreet than your average set of earbuds, with only a wire running between the tip and plastic enclosure behind your ear. Create and save Modes to quickly switch different settings for different environments, such as restaurants, walking or watching TV. Tap Front for sounds in front of you such as conversations in noisy environments, or Everywhere for sounds all around you, such as walking outdoors. The Focus control lets you choose the direction of sounds you want to hear, using the microphones in each hearing aid. Turn up the treble for brighter and crisper sounds, or turn up the bass for richer and deeper sounds. The Treble/ Bass setting adjusts the tone of voices and other sounds. The World Volume allows you to turn up the sounds around you, which will amplify quieter sounds more than louder sounds. The real advantage of Bose’s SoundControl Hearing Aids comes when paired with the Bose Hear app, “the first self-tuning mobile app that’s clinically proven to provide audiologist-quality customisation for individuals 18 or older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.” The hearing aid pairs with your phone via Bluetooth Low Energy. Brian Maguire, category director of Bose Hear That’s an amazing advancement the industry has been missing and nothing short of a breakthrough. The Bose Hear app lets owners set up and customize their SoundControl Hearing Aids from home - in less than an hour - to reconnect with the moments that matter. But the cost and complexity of treatment have become major barriers to getting help.
In the United States alone, approximately 48 million people suffer from some degree of hearing loss that interferes with their life.
Merging traditional hearing aids with Bose’s renowned high-quality audio and personalised sound via your phone, allows the SoundControl Hearing Aids to stand out from the crowd of traditional hearing aids and personal amplifiers (PSAP).
