Beltone offers latest hearing care breakthrough

Beltone, the nation’s leading hearing care retailer, introduces Beltone ImagineTM (www.beltone.com) the first full-featured* hearing aid that combines a microphone and receiver in the ear canal to capture sound just like nature intended. Using the unique shape and size of a person’s ear, this breakthrough enables an unprecedented natural sound experience, addressing one of the biggest complaints of hearing aid users: “artificial” sound.

Most traditional hearing aids pick up sound behind the ear, providing an unnatural sound experience, with less depth and direction.

Beltone Imagine represents an entirely new class of hearing aids, the first to use a Microphone & Receiver-In-Ear (M&RIE, pronounced Marie). By taking advantage of natural acoustics of the ear, this new technology eliminates the artificial sound associated with traditional hearing aids. The most immediate way people will notice the difference is in the sound of their own voice. Beltone Imagine also offers advanced sound settings that automatically detect and adapt to a person’s environment and naturally focus in on the sounds they want to hear.

“Everyone’s ear is different, so we all hear differently,” says Michael Ellis, operations director. “To be able to tailor the hearing experience to each patient is truly wonderful. This is something we’ve been trying to solve with hearing aids for decades. We hope this improved experience will encourage more people to treat their hearing loss.”

According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 30 million Americans have a hearing loss and could benefit from using hearing aids but don’t currently use them.

Beltone Imagine is available with a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 30 hours with a three-hour charge and connects directly to AppleTM devices and AndroidTM smartphones to stream audio. Its enhanced ergonomic design comes in eight new natural colors to match a variety of skin and hair colors. Every purchase automatically includes BelCare, a lifetime care and protection service available only with Beltone.

The new Beltone Imagine is available exclusively at all Indiana Beltone Hearing Care Centers. Every Beltone location has put stringent COVID-19 precautions into place.

For people who are limiting travel outside the home during pandemic restrictions, Beltone Remote Care Live gives the ability to consult with their hearing care professional via video and make hearing aids adjustments in real time, without having to come to the office.
