This requires the integration of leading medical-grade technology into the compact design of real wireless headphones. Now, Jabra has brought its latest product!
On August 18, Jabra Enhancement Plus appeared. It is between a real wireless headset and a hearing aid, and it is a hearing enhancement device specially prepared for people who start hearing loss.
Jabra Enhancement Pro was reported in Shenzhen Bay in January. It adopts the RIE design of traditional hearing AIDS, which was officially announced by GN Netcom A/S, Jabra's parent company, and was recognized by FDA.
In contrast, Enhancement Pro is more like a hearing aid, and Enhancement Plus is more like an ordinary earphone.
Jabra Enhancement Plus looks similar to the latest Jabra Elite 3, and even looks similar to Jabra 75t and 85t. In-ear design is small, compact and light.
Although its earplug is only half the size of Jabra Elite 75t, it can still provide a battery life of 10 hour, and when used with a charging box, it can provide a battery life of 30 hours, which is higher than the average battery life of mainstream TWS headphones.
The dustproof and waterproof grade is IP52, and it is available in gray and beige.
Jabra Enhancement Plus not only meets the needs of basic true wireless headphones to listen to music and make phone calls, but also has the function of medical-grade hearing enhancement, which can help people listen to conversations, music, even TV and movies better.
With powerful speakers, accurate four-microphone array, proprietary microprocessor and algorithm, it provides noise reduction and feedback suppression functions.
The specific experience is to eliminate unnecessary background noise, amplify what the wearer is listening to and improve speech clarity.
The product also has an enhanced application supporting Jabra, which can personalize the listening requirements. Jabra claims that it allows you to "experience the advanced mixed medical-grade technology with professional guidance at every step".
In order to meet the needs of users for environment and listening to the greatest extent, Jabra Enhancement Plus also provides a variety of listening modes, which can be switched between adaptive, focused and surround listening modes.
In the last report of Shenzhen Bay, we have already introduced that the App matched with Jabra Enhancement Pro can set the hearing aid volume, adjust the voice focus, noise and wind noise level. It needs the assistance of hearing care experts more than Enhancement Plus.
Jabra Enhancement Plus will be first released in the United States at the end of the year and sold by hearing care professionals.
More and more manufacturers are blurring the boundary between in-ear headphones and hearing AIDS, and applying medical-grade hearing enhancement technology to consumer products, which will eventually benefit people with hearing impairment. (See special inventory at the end of the article)
Not long ago, Apple added the function of "session enhancement/session enhancement" to the latest firmware version of AirPods Pro, which looks exactly like Jabra's hearing enhancement function.
Apple's technology is based on calculating audio and using microphone beamforming to distinguish human voice from ambient noise, so that the wearer can pay more attention to the voice of the opposite speaker.
On the mobile phone side, Apple also provides a lighter and more integrated control interface than Enhancement Plus App, which can adjust the level of environmental noise.
