Bernafon Viron Technology

Using True Environment Processing™  Bernafon Viron is able to 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 adjustments to the devices occur in real time. Continuous Environment Detection analyses the sound environment. Dynamic Noise Management reduces background noise while maintaining the speech signal. Dynamic Amplification Control continuously measures the speech to noise ratio and directs the information to Dynamic Speech Processing which ensures the speech signal is amplified clearly above the background noise. Dynamic Feedback Canceller is Bernafon’s new feedback manager and ensures the user gets no or minimal whistling from the hearing aid.

The Bernafon EasyControl-A App allows the user to control and adjust their Bernafon hearing aids. The App also allows the user 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 carer when the user turns on their hearing aids. The app also has a useful find my hearing aid tool which works through the phones GPS system.
