Who will these hearing aids be suitable for?

These new hearing aids from Bernafon are suitable for people with hearing loss who want superior sound quality in a small package. Though the CIC contains more hearing aid technology than the IIC model, the user will not mind that the hearing aids do not have Bluetooth and direct streaming and cannot be used as personal headphones. However, since the microphones are in the ear canal and will use the user’s unique ear shape natural pinna effect (see bottom for description), surrounding sounds will be naturally enhanced, allowing for excellent speech clarity.

These hearing aids are very small and use the smallest battery available, lasting 4 to 5 days. If you have dexterity or eyesight issues, you may find them hard to use.  

Bernafon Encancta IIC and CIC  hearing aids are suitable for people with mild to severe hearing loss.

Colours

Bernafon Encanta hearing aids are available in all colours shown. The CIC model is only available in Beige, Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown and Black.

New Technology

Bernafon Smart Sound Processing is at the core of Bernafon audiology. It aims to provide a clear and natural sound, speech clarity, speech understanding in noise, and listening comfort.

Bernafon Smart Amplification – optimised for speech clarity and optional listening comfort  by using two forms of amplification:

Broadband amplification for speech: Bernafon’s unique single-channel processing captures complex speech signals, accurately preserving the pitch and tone of the speaker’s voice, allowing for excellent speech clarity.

When speech and background noise signals are detected simultaneously, 24-channel amplification is used. The system separates the speech in 24 frequency channels from the background noise and amplifies them differently, ensuring speech is clear and background noise is not distracting.

Extended Bandwidth – 80 to 10,000 Hz, giving a superior sound quality in speech and music

Smart Noise Management

Smart Noise Management automatically adapts to the noise environment and your body movements to provide optimal speech understanding and listening comfort.

Smart Noise Reduction – Using machine learning 2.0 and artificial intelligence, Bernafon Encanta has been trained to recognise countless types of background noise. When recognised, the background noise is reduced by up to 12db while maintaining speech clarity.

Transient Noise Reduction – Able to detect and rapidly reduce soft transient noises like typing or loud transient noises, e.g. a door slamming.

Transition – Allows change to the levels of smart directionality and smart noise reduction applied.

• Benefits of Preserving the Pinna Effect:

  • Natural Sound Quality: CIC hearing aids can provide a more natural sound experience because the outer ear and ear canal can filter and shape sounds naturally. 
  • Improved Sound Localization: By preserving the pinna effect, CIC hearing aids can help users better localize sounds, making it easier to determine where sounds are coming from. 
  • Better Performance in Background Noise: The pinna’s natural noise filtering can help CIC hearing aid users hear better in noisy environments.
