Description
Unitron Discover
Unitron is a large hearing aid manufacturer based in Canada. Unitron is part of the Swiss-based Sonova Group, which includes Phonak.
Unitron developed a new Bluetooth protocol for the Discover Range, theoretically enabling Discover devices to connect to any Bluetooth device, including nearly all phones, tablets, and PCs.
Unitron Discover allows for true hands-free use of a mobile. You can keep your phone in your pocket and answer your phone call by pressing a button on the hearing aid.
Discover offers a rechargeable option with a built-in lithium battery. Once charged, the battery lasts a full day.
Unitron Discover Technology
Discover runs on the Sword 3.0 chip, which consists of 42 million transistors.
The chip runs the new SoundNav 3.0 software. SoundNav 3.0 constantly scans the listening environment and intelligently classifies the incoming sound into seven domains: quiet, conversation in quiet, conversation in a small group, conversation in a crowd, conversation in noise, noise, and music. Since the sound landscape is often complex, SoundNav dynamically combines these seven environments to create thousands of possible combinations to maximise speech understanding no matter how challenging the listening environment.
The Sound Conductor feature ensures clear speech while reducing unwanted noise. Soft voices are given extra amplification with soft speech lift.
Speech Pro allows for real-time stereo streaming between the hearing aid and the four microphone systems, allowing the user to quickly locate the direction of speech.
The Unitron Discover range uses Flex: Trial technology. Users can trial entry-level technology; if they feel it does not meet their needs (in noise, for example), they can Flex: Upgrade the hearing devices. The upgrade is a software update; new hearing aids do not need to be ordered.
Unitron Discover hearing aids can be controlled by the U Control app from your smartphone.
