Better hearing
for unforgettable
memories.
Sounds heard.
Moments cherished.
Memories made.
When your clients lose their hearing, they lose more than the ability to hear sound.
They lose the ability to fully participate and engage in life as they once could.
They only catch part of the story or sections of a favorite song, which means their
memories of those moments are not as rich as they could be. And, contrary to
what you might think, the more effort they expend on trying to hear, the less
energy they have for storing these moments in memory—not to mention just
staying in the moment.*
Hear the sounds that memories are made of
Beltone Promise™ will help you give your clients access to all of the sounds that
contribute to each and every experience, so they can create new memories that
are vibrant and full.
When you fit your clients with Beltone Promise, you are providing much more than a
hearing instrument. You’re giving the promise of better hearing today and unforgettable
memories for tomorrow.

New CrossLink Directionality
Hearing instrument and brain synergy
Genuine binaural processing
Simply put, the human auditory system is capable of performing operations a hearing instrument
cannot. By mimicking the way sound is normally delivered to the brain, CrossLink Directionality
allows the patient to take advantage of the fact that the brain is still capable of accepting,
analyzing and organizing sound even though hearing is impaired. This organization of sound is
important because it helps the brain make a decision to either suppress the sound or attend to
it depending on the relative level of importance of that sound in a given situation. For example,
the brain is trained to recognize a siren as an important signal, so even when a siren is off in the
distance, a person knows to start paying attention immediately.
Environmental intelligence for every moment
Directionality for a complete sound picture
Each Beltone Promise hearing instrument with CrossLink Directionality has environmental detectors that constantly monitor the environment and classify signal
type, signal-to-noise ratio and the location of sound sources. The 2.4 GHz wireless system synchronizes information between the two hearing instruments and
automatically assigns each hearing aid the optimal microphone mode, omnidirectional, directional or asymmetrical, based on environmental cues.
As the chart below illustrates, there are four directional microphone mode configurations based on the presence or absence of speech, the location of speech
as well as overall noise levels.
When speech is detected, the best signal-to-noise ratio is provided via the directional microphone. In the majority of environments, CrossLink Directionality will
provide the hearing aid wearer with environmental awareness via the omnidirectional microphone. In addition to giving your clients the ability to stay connected
to their surroundings, environmental awareness can keep clients safe in many situations, including being able to hear someone calling for help, a baby crying,
someone approaching from behind or a faint siren in the distance. It provides the fullest experience possible for anyone who wears Beltone Promise for
moments they not only want to remember forever, but also the moments they need to hear.
Traditional directional systems improve speech understanding in noise by reducing the audibility
of sounds coming from directions other than in front of the listener. This can prevent the hearing
aid wearer from being able to choose which sounds to attend to and which to suppress and
compromises localization cues as well. This puts the hearing instruments in control, not your
clients.
New CrossLink Directionality helps overcome the disadvantages of current directional technology.
It is a directional microphone system where hearing instruments communicate with each other to
determine the optimal microphone mode (omnidirectional, directional or asymmetric processing)
based on the environmental sound scene, so the correct information can be delivered to the
brain for processing. This allows the hearing instrument wearer to decide what to attend to, not
the hearing instruments. It is a true binaural processing strategy that utilizes Beltone’s 2.4 GHz
Ear to Ear Technology to provide improved speech understanding in noise without compromising
audibility of surrounding sounds.

More new technology
to help make experiences richer
Hear speech in any environment
Beltone Promise doesn’t just turn the volume up for your clients, it automatically adjusts to different environments to deliver the best sound, moment by
moment. As your client goes from the calm of reading a book to walking into a room full of people, Beltone Promise automatically adjusts so transitions
are unnoticeable.
Ear to Ear Synchronization
Sound Scene Balancer
Ear to Ear Synchronization automatically applies program and volume changes
from one hearing instrument to the other for a convenient and discreet one-touch
solution. This new feature assures balanced hearing for your clients for better
localization of sounds.
In order to prevent artificial disparity between hearing instruments, Beltone’s 2.4 GHz Ear to Ear Technology synchronizes environmental settings that are
controlled by the Smart Gain Pro and Sound Cleaner Pro features. Together, these features make up Beltone’s Sound Scene Balancer system, which
provides a uniform response by both hearing instruments. This provides the hearing aid user with a clearer, more balanced listening experience.
Asymmetrical Phone Handling
Wireless communication between hearing instruments allows one device to let
the other know it’s on the phone and reduce the microphone input by 6db in the
opposite ear. This way your clients can hear their phone call while competing
noise is reduced.
Smart Gain Pro
Nobody stays in one place all day long. For instance, when attending a family gathering, people move from the
noisy kitchen to the back porch with quiet conversation. While wearing Beltone Promise, your clients will have
the confidence to share in any conversation because Smart Gain Pro will automatically detect what type of
sound environment exists and adjust hearing instrument volume for a comfortable listening experience.
Sound Cleaner Pro
A key contributor to providing a clean acoustic signal is to make sure unwanted noise is removed as much as
possible. Beltone Promise utilizes Sound Cleaner Pro, the best noise reduction system available, to ensure your
clients hear the whole conversation without unwanted distractions.

Reducing unwanted noise
The Promise of reliability
We want to make sure your clients don’t miss out on the sounds they want to hear. Feedback, wind noise and ringing in the ears shouldn’t end up in your clients’
memories. Beltone Promise makes sure they don’t.
Whether it’s the subtle sounds of nature or the gregarious laugh of an old friend, your clients want to be able to hear every moment. Knowing you are
providing them with a hearing instrument that offers the best protection in the industry will put everyone at ease.
Feedback Eraser with WhistleStop
Wind Noise Reduction
Life is dynamic. Unfortunately, so is hearing instrument feedback. However,
Beltone Promise offers Feedback Eraser with WhistleStop, which makes
moments like hugging a loved one or talking on the phone an enjoyable
experience.
Wind noise is a common concern for hearing aid wearers when they are
in outdoor environments. In order to detect and prevent wind noise from
being amplified in a hearing instrument, Beltone Promise offers a Wind Noise
Reduction feature that provides a more comfortable listening experience and
better sound quality in windy conditions.
AFX Music Mode
There are times when traditional feedback management systems can allow
feedback-induced artifacts to interfere with music. Beltone’s new AFX Music
Mode is an alternate feedback cancellation option that reduces these artifacts
when listening to music but still allows all of the notes to come through. This
is the correct feedback management setting for the music program in Beltone
Promise hearing instruments.
Safeguard Feedback Control
Although Feedback Eraser with WhistleStop provides the optimum level of
feedback cancellation, Safeguard Feedback Control is a convenient option
in cases when feedback calibration is not possible, such as when mailing a
repaired or loaner hearing instrument.

Tinnitus Breaker Pro
Few things are more distracting than tinnitus. Along with appropriate therapy,
Beltone Promise with the optional Tinnitus Breaker Pro sound generator can
help clients by producing a masking input sound such as white noise that
draws attention away from tinnitus.
HPF 80 NanoBlock
Keep hearing instruments available during all of the moments
your clients want them. HPF 80 NanoBlock repels elements
such as moisture and ear wax that can damage hearing instruments.
So tell your clients they can spend the day gardening or take a walk
in the rain without worry, HPF 80 NanoBlock will protect their Beltone
Promise hearing instruments inside and out.
Outstanding microphone protection
Because hearing instruments won’t work if the microphones are
clogged or damaged, protecting them is critical. Not only are Beltone
Promise microphones coated with HPF80 NanoBlock, they are
protected by GORE™ Membranes, which offer an additional layer
of defense against moisture, ear wax and things like hair products
and perfume while allowing sound to permeate through. This type
of protection has also been shown to maintain the directional
performance of hearing instruments in humid environments, helping
your clients hear the words that make their memories fuller.

Receivers
With the microphone in the concha—rather than on top of the ear—
Beltone Promise takes advantage of the ear’s anatomy. The ear’s natural
ability to amplify and give directional cues improves your clients’ ability to
localize sounds.
The miniBTE offers your clients an easy-to-conceal hearing instrument with all of the
excellent features available in our other BTEs. The Flex BTE is the only one that can
be configured four ways, including a high gain option with a metal hook, so it can be
adjusted as hearing loss progresses.
Beltone Promise receiver-in-the-ear instruments are available in three options. Choose the smallest 62D or a 63DW that
has wireless capabilities. For those who want a wireless RIE with a volume control, the 64DW is the perfect choice.
Beltone Promise RIEs work with two
new receivers: a new smaller receiver
that gives you the ability to fit even
the smallest ear canals and a new
high-power receiver that provides
deeper insertion and improved dome
retention. An expanded offering of
domes also provides a wider range
of insertion depths as well as better
overall fit and retention.
