Highest precision Noise level T4 dB SPL Broadband FOCUS ON MAXIMUM PRECISION Your hearing • Our passion

IP57 Wireless 11 styles BTEs

Digital cameras have been embraced across the world. They allow us to bring valuable moments into focus, capture them, and share them with others. Digital technology is not only fast and easy to handle but also convenient. Most importantly, it is precise. Acriva is derived from the Greek word “Akrivís” which means “Precision”. Acriva hearing systems are extremely precise and accurate in the detection and analysis of sound and in their signal processing performance. Bernafon’s technological competences in hearing instrument design, sound processing and audiology built the foundation of the proprietary...

Audio ­ fficiency™ 2.0 is a display of technological E competence gathered at the Bernafon R&D center in Bern, Switzerland. ·· Live Music and Cinema Programs...

Focus On Speech Understanding ·· ChannelFree™ Signal Processing ·· Frequency Composition™ ·· True Directionality™ ·· Adaptive Directionality Your clients’ most pressing need is to understand speech – naturally, clearly and without any extra effort. One element of Audio Efficiency 2.0 focuses on improving speech understanding, especially in difficult listening environments. This is not done at the expense of sound quality. In Audio Efficiency™ 2.0, refined strategies in the areas of signal processing, frequency-lowering, and directional modes are used to improve speech understanding and maintain...

High-pitched speech sounds

Focus On the Highs of Life Recreating inaudible but important high-frequency sounds for people with a high-frequency hearing loss is a real challenge. Doing so without compromising sound quality is an even bigger challenge. At Bernafon, we believe that a new frequency-lowering technique is needed which takes into account the pros and cons of traditional methods found in the market today. Bernafon’s Frequency Composition™ delivers a new solution. It ensures the audibility of high-­ frequency sounds for people with severe high-frequency hearing losses. The system takes the highfrequency cues and...

Focus On the Desired Sound Source Directional microphones are among the most important features needed to improve the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) of your client’s acoustic scene – be it in quiet, in constant noise, or in environments where quiet and noise fluctuate. Multi-microphone technology also facilitates sound localization which is important for your clients’ safety and comfort. In BTEs, the microphones sit too high on the ear depriving the user from b ­ enefitting from the natural function of the pinna as a sound filter. True Directionality™ reproduces the amplified signal in the manner...

Focus On Enhanced Comfort ·· Binaural Coordination ·· Adaptive Noise Reduction Plus ·· Transient Noise Reduction ·· Adaptive Feedback Canceller Plus What makes a hearing instrument comfortable? On one hand, the answer is to get rid of the unwanted noise coming from the environment. On the other hand, it is to suppress any feedback coming from the hearing instrument itself. Plus, it is the perfect harmony between two hearing instruments working together to get the most out of the devices. Audio Efficiency™ 2.0 delivers just that with its focus on easy listening and comfort. With Bernafon’s binaural...

Focus On the things you need to hear Listening to speech in noisy environments can be a challenging and uncomfortable situation for people with a hearing impairment. Therefore, a hearing system’s primary goal is to a ­ ttenuate noise while keeping the speech signal audible. Bernafon’s new Adaptive Noise Reduction Plus is a high-speed modulation-based algorithm which is able to measure and respond to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) accurately. To do so, the system must be fast, allowing it to follow the rapid changes of the signal. In highly noisy situations (i.e., the SNR is very low), the system...

Focus On Efficient Feedback ­Cancellation With Bernafon’s Adaptive Feedback Canceller Plus, your clients will enjoy high levels of listening comfort. The strength of Bernafon’s AFC Plus is speed. Because the AFC Plus is so fast, it adapts even to rapid changes in the feedback path. Experienced clients will notice the difference when placing a hat, phone or hand near the ear. AFC Plus applies the following 3-step cancelling method with great speed and accuracy: ·· The Feedback Monitor continuously monitors the incoming signals every 25 ms to identify any feedback-like characteristics. Previously...

Focus On Individualization to Specific Needs ·· Live Music and Cinema Programs ·· Language Specific Targets ·· REMfit™ ·· Wireless Connectivity Features that enhance and improve speech understanding and listening comfort meet i ­mportant overall needs and are at the forefront of Bernafon’s Audio Efficiency™ 2.0 technology. But equally as important are the features that allow you to meet the individual expectations of your clients. Distinctive programs for listening to music or going to the movies are much appreciated by some clients. For others, wireless connectivity is a priority. New functionality...
