Bose claims the app will make the hearing aids easier to use and more effective.
“But the cost and complexity of treatment have become major barriers to getting help.”
Bose says the setup process will be simple, offering hundreds of options for fine-tuning from just two controls.
World Volume can be turned up to amplify quiet sounds more than loud ones.
Hence, listening is more comfortable.
And Treble/Bass can adjust the tone to accentuate or diminish specific vocal frequencies.
Using Treble, whats heard is crisper and brighter; using Bass modifies richness and depth.
News of the Bose hearing aid met with enthusiasm on the internet message board, Reddit.
The Bose design weighs 0.1 ounce and features a behind-the-ear design.
The company claims they will last about four days on a hearing aid battery and are water-resistant.
