Bernafon's Encanta Family is growing: Two ultra-compact and discreet hearing aids launched
Bernafon has unveiled an extended product range with new Encanta IIC and CIC styles. The launch is complemented by a smart connectivity update and an enhanced business support tool, aimed at helping professionals improve client care and clinic efficiency.
Many people with hearing loss delay their decision to get a hearing aid due to concerns about visibility and discretion. To address this, Bernafon has introduced two new discreet styles in its Encanta family of single-microphone hearing aids with the Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) and Completely-in-Canal (CIC) models. These new styles focus both on discretion and performance, designed to meet the needs of clients looking for a discreet custom solution.
“Providing solutions that people with hearing loss feel good about wearing – that’s one of the best ways we can support hearing care professionals in the essential work they do every day,” says Søren Skjærbæk, VP Brand Management at Bernafon.
Encanta’s convenient and advanced sound quality
These ultra-compact and discreet hearing aids offer a balance of functionality, size, and comfort, sitting deep within the ear canal to provide users with an almost invisible hearing solution. The Encanta IIC and CIC hearing aids make hearing easier in all situations, boosting user confidence and comfort, leading to greater user acceptance and satisfaction.
The new styles are available in four technology levels, following Encanta’s convenient and person-centred approach to match different user needs, lifestyles, and budgets. This includes improved speech clarity and listening comfort with upgraded Machine Learning 2.0 and enhanced Transient Noise Reduction. These advanced technologies offer a richer sound experience with extended bandwidth down to 80 Hz, ensuring users have clear and balanced access to low frequency sounds.
“Styles like the IIC and CIC can offer the most natural sounding experience as they sit deep in the ear canal and take advantage of the natural pinna effect for optimal spatial awareness. We’re incredibly proud to be expanding the popular Encanta family with two new styles that will help break through the concern that some people have about discretion – while also providing an exceptional sound experience,” says Søren Skjærbæk.
Introducing Entra B
Bernafon has also introduced a new basic and affordable line of hearing aids – Entra B. Entra B offers clear and natural sound with Bernafon’s Smart Amplification technology and advanced connectivity in various styles for budget-conscious clients and state-funded solutions.
Entra B provides options from the discreetness of IIC and CIC, to ITC, ITE Half Shell and ITE Full Shell, as well as the more advanced miniRITE and miniBTE, available with disposable or rechargeable batteries to suit the clients’ everyday life.
Enhanced connectivity and business support
Bernafon has also launched the new Easy LE Adapter, providing Encanta users with all the benefits of LE Audio, including two-way hands-free communication. The Easy LE Adapter makes Bluetooth® LE Audio accessible to more clients even if they currently don’t have LE Audio compatible devices.
On the clinic support front, Bernafon has upgraded its online business support tool, MyBernafon. The platform now features a new user-friendly interface and additional features to help hearing care professionals run, manage, and grow their business.
