Jabra Enhance launches its smallest over-the-counter hearing aid yet with future-ready connectivity
14 Mayo 2024 - 8:00AM
Jabra Enhance, a leader in the direct-to-consumer hearing care
space, today launches Jabra Enhance Select 500, its smallest, most
advanced hearing aid yet. The Enhance Select 500 is the new
flagship model in Jabra Enhance’s lineup of over-the-counter
hearing aids. It delivers the latest in hearing technology with
SoundScape™ for next-level listening and advanced Bluetooth
features including Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast™ for
future-ready connectivity.
The Enhance Select 500 features a “Micro RIE
(receiver-in-ear)” design that is 25% smaller than standard
receiver-in-ear hearing aids and 15% smaller than its predecessor,
Jabra Enhance Select 300. Their ergonomic shape makes them as
comfortable as they are small, and their low center of gravity
prevents unwanted movement on the go.
The hearing aids are designed to emulate the
natural hearing process as closely as possible with SoundScape
proprietary speech clarity technology. SoundScape prioritizes
speech and reduces background noise, for more natural, immersive
sound in one-on-one conversations, even in the most complex
listening situations. The Enhance Select 500 also offers an added
layer of uniquely tailored programming for difficult listening
situations like restaurants, one-on-one conversations, and loud
environments.
The Enhance Select 500 is complete with key
features for convenience, including hands-free phone calls when
using a compatible Apple or Android device. With TapControl, users
can answer calls by double-tapping their ear or hearing aid. The
Jabra Enhance Select app makes it easy to adjust your own settings
such as modifying bass and treble settings or choosing environment
programs to better suit your situation. A single charge powers the
Enhance Select 500 for a full day. For on-the-go power, the
included charging case holds up to three full charges before having
to be plugged in to recharge.
Bluetooth LE Audio is the new standard in
connectivity that improves audio quality, battery life, and enables
more stable connections. The hearing aids support Bluetooth LE
Audio streaming for calls, music and media when using a compatible
Apple or Android device. The Enhance Select 500 is also ready for
the future with Bluetooth Auracast. Many concert venues, event
spaces, and transit stations are expected to offer support for live
broadcast audio transmission to an unlimited number of Auracast
devices. With Auracast capability built-in, the Enhance Select 500
will support these direct audio transmissions*.
“Jabra Enhance Select 500 was designed to enable
more people to reach their full hearing potential – now and in the
future,” said Steve Jacobs, President of Jabra Hearing. “With the
Select 500, we are providing consumers with our most advanced
hearing technology and design today that’s ready for the
connectivity experiences to come.”
Nearly 50 million Americans report some degree of
hearing loss. However, many have not yet sought or found a solution
that helps them with their hearing challenges. With the Enhance
Select 500, Jabra Enhance brings a feature-rich solution and
discreet design to the OTC hearing aid marketplace with technology
that elevates hearing now and in the future.
