How is the sound processing philosophy and noise management in Bernafon Encanta?
The smart noise management of Bernafon Encanta constantly adapts to the noise level and nature of the sound around the user to optimise the sound for the optimum hearing experience. The sound processing and noise management of Bernafon Encanta is based on the following 4 approaches:
-
Smart Directionality – reduces noise located away from the talkers. It continuously adapts the microphones in each of the 24 frequency channels to increase speech understanding in noise.
-
Smart Noise Reduction – Using machine learning, Bernafon Encanta has been trained to recognise countless types of background noise. When recognised, the background noise is reduced.
-
Smart Sensor: This sensor recognises if the user’s head is still, turning left to right, or in motion and then applies the correct level of smart directionality and noise reduction.
-
Transition – Allows change to the levels of smart directionality and smart noise reduction applied.
