BeHear NOW (refurbished)
Hearing amplifier for live conversations, mobile calls, and streamed audio
- Designed for people with mild-to-moderate hearing loss
- Amplifies only the frequencies where you need a boost
- 4 different preset hearing modes and dedicated app
- Rechargeable for up to 12 hours of use
- Developed by experienced sound engineers and certified audiologist
This refurbished unit is available only in the U.S. (used but cleaned, tested, and fully updated)
Note: BeHear NOW headsets are not hearing aids and are not designed to restore hearing.
BeHear NOW 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
- Hearing enhancement functions – including noise reduction, echo cancellation, and more
The BeHear NOW 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 aid for personalized sound amplification across a wide sound spectrum
Customizable for Your Hearing Capabilities and Preferences
The headset itself includes a variety of controls to manage its hearing functions, which work “out of the box” for four different hearing profiles:
- Indoor
- Outdoor
- Crowd
- Live Music
Situational Hearing Enhancement:
When You Need It
- In-person conversations
- Mobile phone conversations
- 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. The application also includes:
- A 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
The W&H BeHear application can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store or Apple Store.
