Bernafon Leox

Super Power, Super Wireless Technology?

I thought that I should focus more on the wireless technology that is wrapped up in Leox hearing aids.  My reasoning is purely due to Bernafon acknowledging that power aid users not only want to hear well, they want to connect to the world like everybody else.  A positive step in the right direction and, indeed, something to write about.

Leox hearing aids enable you to stream sounds from your smartphone and other devices seamlessly.  It offers you a great scope of connectivity to amplify your hearing experience, so that staying connected to the world is now better than ever.  The TV-A television adaptor, RC-A remote and SoundClip-A ensure that you are constantly networked to watch TV, listen to music and make hands-free calls.  Making your daily life more accessible, practical and easier. Bernafon have also upgraded their communication over distance and challenging environments, so you can have ultimate control with the best possible sound.  Using the EasyControl-A App is a convenient and discreet way to adjust volume, programs, view battery status and add practical lifestyle notifications - all with a simple touch.  The TeleCoil is another beneficial feature, allowing you to receive instant signal from induction loop systems wherever you are.

You might say that Leox hearing aids can take you beyond the traditional controls of a hearing aid, but then with the demand for better connectivity, for powers users, increasing - it has had to keep up.  We live in a world that is past paced and always on the go, so why should hearing aids be any different?  2019, so far, has seen an influx in the launches of new and innovative power aids.  With Oticon's Xceed launching a mere month before, with its impressive OpenSound Navigator technology - Leox hearing aids had to rise to the challenge of revolutionising hearing healthcare for power users.  

Take a chance?

Leox comes with a list of 'chances'. Chances to do more, hear more and access more.  Let me explain...

It gives you the chance to focus on conversations, with a greater speech understanding.  A chance to feel in control of all your hearing situations, as the great sound amplification supports you.  It gives you the chance to grasp flexibility with a vast collection of wireless technology.  So, regardless of age, lifestyle or hearing loss - Leox gives you the chance to thrive.  All realistic expectations?  Well, I guess time will tell.
