Unitron’s newest platform, Discover Next, helps people stay connected with its superior speech understanding, remote adjustments and a complete product family to suit diverse needs and preferences.
“It’s more important than ever before to stay connected with the people in our lives, and our technology-rich solutions help hearing aid wearers capture the meaning in every conversation, right where and when they are,” says Sandra Fulton, VP Group Marketing. “And with sleek, comfortable designs powered by proven lithium-ion battery technology, they won’t miss a thing.”
Hearing better in noisy environments is the number one need of hearing instrument wearers.1 SoundCore, the signal processor inside Unitron hearing instruments, combines four powerful technologies to provide a seamless, human-like listening experience that helps wearers hear conversations more clearly and comfortably in every environment. Building on these technologies, the Discover Next platform delivers speech and environmental cues that enable wearers to understand the deeper meaning of words, in both quiet and noisy environments.
Soft speech lift boosts subtle speech cues without increasing the overall level, providing key information to get to the deeper meaning of quiet conversations.
Spectral Speech is an exciting new fourth dimension of our premium binaural solution for noisy environments, SpeechPro. Now, in addition to automatically applying directionality and preserving localization cues, Spectral Speech adds further contrast between speech and noise to help clients better understand words and emotions in complex listening situations.
Together, these new features enhance the listening experience further by helping wearers determine who is talking, the location of voices, and subtle cues – such as the intonation and underlying emotion of words – which help improve the overall understanding of meaning in speech.
Plus, remote adjust lets hearing care professionals make changes to gain and compression whenever and wherever their clients are – without having to come to the office for an appointment.
“We’re known for great sound performance that offers superior speech understanding, but really meaningful conversations go beyond words,” says Donald Hayes, Director of Clinical Research. “Discover Next helps hearing aid wearers capture the intonation and emotion behind those words, and now, they can experience optimization outside of the clinic for truly great interactions anytime, anywhere.”
