091 - Hearing Aid Alternatives: Inexpensive SMARTO Device Offers Appealing Features for Patients and Professionals

Battered and bruised, stuck in a cabinet for many months, then ready for action at a moment's notice -- think of all the loved ones, spouses and companions who shouted, "Can you hear me now?" into its bulbous black microphone, those ubiquitous pocket amplifiers had a great run.

If you haven't already, now might be a good time to ditch the old pocket amplifiers and replace them with a device that has as many features as many medical-grade hearing aids. In this episode, acclaimed audio engineer, Alexander Goldin tells us about the new BeHear SMARTO non-custom amplifier and how it broadens the appeal of amplification devices to those in your community -- people who maybe cannot wear traditional hearing aids but nevertheless need help.

According to the company, the SMARTO offers: - 70 dB of gain; no feedback - Noise reduction and directionality - Programmable for personalization** - Bluetooth connectivity - Customizable tinnitus masking - Slow down speech option - Emergency call function - Rechargeable for 40 hours of use - On-ear and in-ear headsets included ** Fitting rationale conforms to NAL-NL2 targets More details here: https://www.wearandhear.com/product/smarto-personal-hearing-amplifier-shop/
