Description

BeHear NOW is a personalizable hearing amplifier that combines the functionality of an advanced digital hearing aid, Bluetooth stereo headset, and assistive listening device. Much more than a Personal Sound Amplification Product (PSAP), BeHear empowers its users by giving them control over what and how they hear. It can be personalized based on the results of a hearing assessment (found in the dedicated W&H BeHear smartphone application), and further customized in real-time to suit any specific hearing situation. BeHear enhances the listening experience for day-to-day activities, from live conversations to walks in nature, mobile phone calls to music streaming, and TV watching to live concerts. Live Conversations Personalized amplification and reduction of distracting background noise improve the intelligibility of speech and help you converse easily in noisy places. Read more Mobile Phone Calls Use the BeHear NOW for mobile phone calls and enjoy customized amplified sound over the phone as well. With our "EasyListen" feature, you can slow down incoming speech to improve your understanding. Read more Music & Audio Streaming Using Bluetooth connectivity, you can stream audio from your phone or TV directly to the BeHear NOW. This audio will also be personalized to match your hearing profile. Read more Free, Dedicated App Puts You in Control of Your Hearing Get the most out of BeHear NOW by downloading the free "W&H BeHear" app from the Apple Store or Google Play. Use it to personalize the headset so that everything you hear – live conversations, mobile phone calls, streamed audio – is amplified and clarified based on your own hearing profile. Personalize the Headset Using the Built-in Hearing Assessment After you connect the BeHear NOW headset to your phone, launch the app and perform the "Hearing Assessment". The results will be used to automatically tune the BeHear NOW headset to suit your personal hearing profile. This is where the magic happens. Apply the Results to Personalize your BeHear NOW Using the assessment results, the BeHear NOW headset automatically adjusts voice and audio input to suit your hearing levels, creating personalized profiles for a variety of hearing environments. You can fine-tune these profiles at any time using the app’s intuitive interface. Read more Multiple Presets for Common Hearing Situations Four separate presets for different hearing modes – "Indoor", "Outdoor", "Crowd" and "Live Music" – allow you to customize what you hear in real time, based on your current environment. You can switch between these presets easily, either using the app or the control buttons on the BeHear NOW headset. Adjust What (and Who!) You Hear in Real Time Fine-tune the BeHear NOW settings by adjusting amplification for specific frequencies with the App. On the sound tuning screen touch a square in the relevant region and hear the difference in real time. Repeat this process as many times as you need to find the “Best Sound Point”. Save any changes to the specific preset for repeat visits to that environment. Improve Conversation Intelligibility by Reducing Background Noise Hearing in noisy environments is one of the biggest challenges for people with hearing loss. With the W&H BeHear app’s "Noise Reduction" scroller you can reduce background noise by up to 12 dB without reducing the volume of the people you want to hear. Stay connected to the conversation, and no one needs to shout to be heard! Read more

  • What I think so far.
First a little background on me. For about 40 years I have been a professional live sound and studio recording engineer, so I know technology and sound. But over the years I have lost a substantial amount of my hearing. I can't do live sound anymore, and in the studio all I can do is be a consultant and teach technology and sound concepts. I have used a number of hearing aids, and have been extremely disappointed with them and the insane pricing. I have a number of different hearing assist devices, some work for some settings, and some work for others, but none give the versatility and control I want and require. So, I have been on the search for a better way. Most importantly I want to have complete control of my devices so I can change things as I need, for all the different setting I encounter on a day to day basis. I also used to be a sign language interpreter, and worked with the deaf and hard of hearing. I'm hoping this device can help some of my friends. (Now, I'm hard of hearing. Come on folks, please use hearing protection. Nowdays the technology can create even more dangerous levels of sound, and the technology of hearing protection devices are incredible). I ran across this BeHear Now device from the Wear & Hear company and Alango Technologies on Amazon, and decided to look into it. It seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. So I did some research, compared other devices, watched all of the teaching videos, looking for that elusive control I had been searching for that hearing aids lack, and are just now starting to impliment because of competition with devices like this, but the hearing aids are still way overpriced and don't have the complete control that this device does. I have been in communication with the techs and customer service asking questions trying to get an idea if this really is going to work for me, (or my hard of hearing friends). Now I have one. First, I want to state, I am still in the process of evaluating this device. I have not been payed to evaluate this device. I payed full price. I evaluate all technology I encounter in the studio and on the road, very thoroughly, realistically, and with an open mind. I have been really putting this device through the paces. So far, it is doing great. Seems to do what I had been hoping for. Now on to the review, here is what I think so far; 1 - Love the full control, especially the EQ (called Home page) where I can tune the frequencies in real time, (this was probably the one most important thing I was looking for). I love being able to save my settings. 2 - The different modes, Indoor, Outdoor, Crowd, and Live Music, are in my opinion very discernable and seem to work quite effectively. 3 - The noise reduction seems very robust, and works well. I have read where some people are confusing it with noise cancelation, it only changes the background noise frequencies, and works quite well. It is not noise cancelation, it is reduction for existing background noise. 4 - I did both the Basic and Advanced evaluation (similar to the evaluation a hearing audiologist conducts). Seems pretty spot on with my audiology chart from my Doctor. I like the fact that I can fine tune the evaluation to better suit my needs and can be changed as I see fit, then save the settings. 5 - I like that you can have complete control with the phone, save the settings and disconnect from the phone and all the new setting are in the device, so you can be completely separated from the phone and it still has almost all functions with the collar switches. Oh, by the way I was also able to use it with my tablet. I don't think it works with all tablets, but it did with mine 6 - I was surprised by the quality of bluetooth streaming music from my phone. The earpieces are quite good, not as high as some high end BT devices, but I found them to be better than I was expecting. I found that trying the different silicone domes have a big effect on the quality, especially the bass. So I am able to enjoy music with decent quality. I have a generic BT transmitter that I use on my TV, and I am pleased with the earpiece quality as well with very little latency (latency is the delay between the sound and the picture). Here is an experience I had a couple of days ago while wearing the device. I was in the car visiting with my wife, and I noticed her voice was very processed sounding, which as a sound engineer I know exactly what is going on, the device is processing the algorithms. But... I could 'HEAR' her, and the background sounds wind, tiresound, engine, etc were dramatically reduced. Again, I will restate, I could 'HEAR' her, even though she sounded like her voice was going through an effects box. No other device I have used, has worked this well in being able to seperate the voice from other sounds and make out what another person is clearly saying, just her voice sounded strange, but thats ok, I could clearly hear what she was saying. (algorithms are the mathmatical programming information the device needs to process to effectively get a very good sound) I read in some of the reviews people were confused by this effect. This is something that absolutly needs to be made known in the sales information. With that, I think if customers were aware that this is normal with current technology, they would be more excepting of this. Here is another experience I had a couple of days ago. My wife and I were sitting on the porch, and again I was having difficulty hearing her. We live very close to a highway and it's quite noisy. I have noticed since my hearing has gotten bad, the cars with tire sounds on the pavement, really drowns out conversation. I turned on the device. I found that the Crowd Mode with High noise reduction worked better in this situation than the Outside mode. This is what is fun about experimenting to see what works best for a given situation. This is done in all studios, experimenting for the best sound. Again, I could hear my wife, I still hear some road noise, but man, what an improvement in our conversation. There is one thing I have noticed that I would suggest changing, just a little. The limiter compressor function is a bit too aggresive. In the studio, if our limiters or compessors are set too high, it is what we call sound pumping, when louder sounds happen, it clamps down the volume, and it can be distracting. This function is 'absolutely' necessary and something a lot of other devices don't have. This is really handy for loud sounds, (drop something on the floor) so as to not uncomfortably overdrive the volume, but I think this should be a bit milder. (I have been in communication with the company and they said they noticed that also, and are going to change so the limiting is milder). (Thanks guys). Oh, one more thing, when I am bluetooth streaming, music, TV, etc, and I turn on Listen-thru mode, the 'quality' of the outside sounds are reduced compared to the stand alone Hearing Assist mode. When I stop streaming, and go back to stand alone Hearing Assist mode, the quality of the outside sounds are very good again. I don't know if this is something that can be improved or not. (again I have been in communication with the company and they said they are planning some changes to that as well). (Thanks again guys). These folks seem like they are going to really try to make this an outstanding device. If they do, and they seem to be open to input, and with the reasonable pricing, this device could possibly someday be a benchmark for all other similar devices on the market to follow. I don't want people to believe that this is going to give you back perfect hearing, it is not. Nothing can do that. So a person has to be careful to not get false expectations. So far it has made a huge improvement for me. I probably will never wear my hearing aids again. This is so much easier to put on (wear), control, and tune and is rechargable. I think I might get another one for backup, so I always have one on the ready, using one while the other is charging. I have to say this is a device that can dramatically improve what we have unfortunately lost. And with a little bit of learning and patience, I think it is easy enough for almost anyone to use. So thus far I am quite pleased, but I really want to give it some more time, trying it in all different settings. I am anxious to try it it in a restaurant setting, windy settings, with live music, outside to hear birds (which I have not heard in a while), picking up phone calls, and some other things I personally need. I will post more later, after I have more experience with it. Thanks, Yuval, at Alango Technologies, and Ruth, at Wear & Hear. -RON- ... show more

  • A good idea, but multiple issues.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because I admit I'm not a hearing expert and I've never worn hearing aids before, which is one of the primary target audiences. I do however have mild hearing loss at low freq and moderate at high, according to their assessment. As far as the hardware goes, they are well constructed, have a good quality bag and feel sturdy. The Android app is actually very well done and did the job beautifully. But that's the end of the good things I can really say about this system. Let's start with bluetooth audio for music. The sound quality is okay, but not what I would have expected based on the description and other reviews. They're a cut above the $25 pair you might buy, but don't justify the premium expense. The worst part is that even with my phone 2 feet from my head with full battery on the BeHear Now and my phone, the music would cut in and out. It was like the BeHear couldn't keep up with the bluetooth audio stream. This is the reason I didn't consider keeping these just for music. The hearing assessment seemed pretty well on point. Unfortunately though the resulted amplification it tuned never helped me hear voices better. I could hear birds and beeps and ice cubes bumping each other and all sort of things I don't care about, but still had trouble understanding people. My shoes squeaking as I walked annoyed the heck out of me, it picked that up so much. It only seemed to amplify the higher frequencies. I ran the assessment three times and it always resulted in the same problem. I then tried two times of running the assessment and lying about the answers to try to get it to boost mid range for me instead, but that didn't really help either, though it did cut out some of the annoying squeaks. The noise cancelling feature might as well have been left out. It really doesn't do anything except cut out some of the hiss caused by it's own amplification, and the higher settings caused everything to sound robotic and squeaky. It also didn't seem to work while listening to music, which is primarily when I'd want noise cancellation. I really wanted to love these, but unfortunately with all of those problems taken together it really didn't work out for me and I returned them. ... show more
