Bernafon Viron Technology
Using True Environment Processing™, Bernafon Viron can detect, analyse sound and then process the signal in real time.
The Dynamic Environment Control System (DECS) platform uses a combination of systems to ensure real-time device adjustments occur. Continuous Environment Detection analyses the sound environment. Dynamic Noise Management reduces background noise while maintaining the speech signal. Active Amplification Control continuously measures the speech-to-noise ratio and directs the information to Dynamic Speech Processing, ensuring the speech signal is amplified clearly above the background noise. Dynamic Feedback Canceller is Bernafon’s new feedback manager and provides the user gets no or minimal whistling from the hearing aid. 
Bernafon Viron APP
The Bernafon EasyControl-A App allows users to control and adjust their Bernafon hearing aids. The App also enables users to connect their hearing aids to other devices using the (IFTTT) protocol. For example, a user could get a notification in their hearing aids when the doorbell rings or a text message could be sent to the carer when they turn on their hearing aids. The app also has a useful Find My hearing aid tool, which works through the phone’s GPS.
Bernafon Viron has made-for-iPhone (MFi) technology built in, meaning you can take calls or stream music direct from an iPhone. For Android and other Bluetooth devices, a Bernafon SoundClip-A is required.
