ELEHEAR Beyond 2 Pro OTC Hearing Aids Debut at $799
ELEHEAR has launched Beyond 2 Pro , a new $799 pair of over-the-counter hearing aids designed to improve speech understanding in noisy environments while giving users more control over sound, fit, and remote professional support. Available starting today, Beyond 2 Pro joins ELEHEAR’s Beyond ($399/pair) and Beyond Pro ($599) as its new flagship model and introduces VOCCLEAR<sup>®</sup> 3.0, the latest version of the company’s proprietary speech-enhancement technology. The rechargeable receiver-in-canal (RIC) devices are intended for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss and can be purchased without a prescription. These products complement ELEHEAR’s Delight in-ear hearing solution which was introduced in January at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas (currently discounted to $299/pair with a regular price of $369). The central upgrade for Beyond 2 Pro is a two-stage approach to managing different kinds of competing sound. ELEHEAR says the system combines an updated deep neural network (DNN) noise-reduction algorithm with a new speech-focused technology called FocusClarity. Not all noise presents the same processing challenges. Relatively steady sounds, like traffic, air conditioners, and restaurant noise can be easier for hearing aids to identify and suppress than multiple people talking during a dynamic conversation. In a busy gathering, however, both the conversation a listener wants to hear and the competing “noise” may consist of human voices. VOCCLEAR 3.0 is designed to address both situations. *From the beginning, our goal has been to make truly intelligent sound accessible to everyone. VOCCLEAR 3.0 is a real step forward that doesn't just make things louder; it understands the difference between the noise around you and the voice in front of you. That's the future of hearing.* — Eric Miao, Founder of ELEHEAR in a press statement ELEHEAR Beyond 2 Pro with portable charger. Two-stage processing for difficult envir
