The perfect match
Personalized hearing
Taking personalized
hearing to the next level
Every person is unique, and so is their hearing.
Our lifestyles, physical needs and personal
tastes span vast ranges. We vary in our sense of
what suits us ergonomically and aesthetically.
Our experience of the sensory world that
surrounds us is truly individual. Hearing is
distinct for each of us: we’re unique and we pay
attention to different things.
Beltone Legend is designed to serve this diverse
universe of unique individuals better than any
other hearing aid on the market. While other
hearing aids can satisfy the needs of only some
clients, Beltone Legend has the most choices
and options, so there is no need for your clients
to compromise. Superb sound quality and
speech understanding are of course the main
focus, thanks to Personal Sound ID™, but other
features add adaptability, intelligence and smart
design whenever they are needed.
Made for iPhone® integration lets users stream
sounds directly to their hearing aids from their
iPhone, iPad® or iPod touch®. The HearPlus app
allows clients to control their Beltone Legend
hearing aids directly from their iPhone, iPad, iPod
touch and the most popular Android™ phone
model.* The technical design of Beltone Legend
hearing aids is mirrored by their physical design:
they are sleek, robust, and discreet – the perfect
match for any lifestyle.
YEARS
Choose their perfect sound
We’re always listening for something – a voice,
a ringtone, signals carrying useful information or
warning us of danger. We’re selective listeners.
Our brains compare the different directions and
amplitudes of the sounds reaching our ears and
naturally provide us with a three-dimensional
sound environment.
If you replace that delicately refined system with
conventional hearing aids that sit behind the
ear, some spatial awareness disappears. Other
hearing aids either equalize amplification in our
two ears, or amplify sound with no relation to
spatial reality. Without a true binaural amplication
strategy, we lose our ability to truly distinguish
the sound environment around us.
Restores more natural hearing
Beltone Legend helps restore the priceless
qualities of natural hearing with two groundbreaking innovations: Personal Sound ID™ and
CrossLink Directionality with Personal Sound ID.
Personal Sound ID™ uses Cross Ear
Compression to help restore the natural sound
level differences between clients’ ears when a
sound signal is closer to one ear than the other.
It brings back a rich auditory picture of their
environment. Personal Sound ID™ adds pinna
restoration technology to mimic how the ear
naturally collects and processes sound. Listeners
can hear where sounds originate, and distinguish
the background from the object of their attention.
Simply put, Personal Sound ID creates the best
situation to let the listener decide which sounds
are important, not the hearing aids.
CrossLink Directionality with Personal Sound
ID offers even better listening quality and
directionality. CrossLink Directionality constantly
monitors the sound environment, automatically
adjusting directionality settings. Using the Pinna
Restoration and Cross Ear Compression features
of Personal Sound ID, CrossLink Directionality
creates better speech recognition and helps
improve localization. CrossLink Directionality
with Personal Sound ID provides the cues that
permit listeners to focus on speech without losing
the ambient sounds that enrich their individual
listening experience.
Thanks to this real binaural strategy, focusing on
a friend’s words becomes easy again, as does
switching focus to an alarm or a cry for help.
MY PERFECT MATCH

connectivity to iPhone and maximum speech understanding.
Adapts to every lifestyle
Beltone Legend hearing aids are adaptable,
adjusting their functions to each client and their
unique way of living and listening – without
sacrificing quality. This adaptability emerges from
a suite of the smartest product features in the
industry, all of which operate together through
integrated software and product design.
Smart Gain Pro™
Automatically increases and decreases gain,
adapting to changes in the auditory environment
so the client does not have to. Smart Gain Pro™
adjusts the gain and background noise levels to
their optimal levels, thus liberating the client to
plunge into a noisy, crowded place fearlessly, or
listen to a soft-spoken companion in the quietest
of environments. The listening experience is
excellent, either way.
Ear to Ear Synchronization
Stays vigilant to changes in the client’s auditory
environments, and makes smooth transitions
in both hearing aids from one environment
to another. Clients can move with ease and
confidence from quiet surroundings like a closed
room to noisy ones, such as a party. It also
automatically synchronizes program and volume
adjustments from one ear to the other, saving
clients the inconvenience of doing this manually.
Sound Shifter™
Makes it possible to hear sounds that occur in
the higher frequency ranges – often the hardest
sounds to hear. This feature shifts the sound’s
signal into more audible sound frequencies, so
clients don’t miss out on the full spectrum of
sounds that others can hear.
Feedback Eraser™ With WhistleStop™
Synchronized Satisfy™
Senses feedback and cancels it out from the
Beltone Legend hearing aid’s amplified signal –
with no loss of sound quality. Feedback Eraser
operates with an average of 18dB in added
useable gain, enabling fittings that would
previously have been hindered by feedback. A
choice of gain settings for different situations can
be conveniently selected without compromising
sound quality.
Makes it possible for new clients to get used
to amplification gradually. It allows them to
become acclimated slowly, with gain introduced
at different stages. The phase-in process can be
adjusted, accelerated, or slowed to fit the client’s
preferences.
Our recent research confirms the benefits of this
approach to the accuracy of speech recognition.
Even experienced Beltone Legend users may
find that Synchronized Satisfy™ assists their
transition from one group of settings to another.
Personal control through
the most popular devices
In today’s society, we rely extensively on
consumer electronics and clients expect
everything to be both mobile and integrated.
Beltone Legend hearing aids share this
integration. They are designed to operate
flawlessly and simply with the most popular
devices, offering clients full compatibility and
personal control.
All these benefits and more!
Personalization with direct audio streaming
The My Places feature permits quick custom
adjustment to frequently visited auditory
environments. The HearPlus app lets clients
check hearing aid battery status and even has a
‘Finder’ feature that makes it possible to locate a
misplaced Beltone Legend hearing aid.
Thanks to Beltone Legend’s Made for iPhone
integration, clients can stream sound directly from
an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to their hearing
aids without having to wear any sort of adapter
around their neck. Using this robust, wireless
technology, they can hear voices from phone
calls, listen to their favorite music, socialize via
FaceTime®, or follow the voice directions of a
GPS – all through their Beltone Legend hearing
aids. This functionality is native in the latest iOS
for Apple® devices, so it’s all ready to go. Made
for iPhone Beltone Legend hearing aids act just
like high-end cordless ear buds or headphones.
As the most advanced app of its kind for hearing
aid users, the HearPlus app’s functionality
provides numerous benefits. It’s the easiest
and most discreet way to control one’s hearing
aid – including powerful new user-adjustable
noise reduction, speech focus and wind noise
reduction features.
Free HearPlus™ app for intuitive control
The free Beltone HearPlus app is the most
advanced of its kind for hearing aid wearers.
HearPlus permits control of a hearing aid easily
and discreetly from a mobile device. There’s no
need to use an intermediate device or streamer
around the neck. Users can download the
HearPlus app and start controlling their hearing
aids in a simple and intuitive way directly from an
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – or the most popular
Android phone model. It’s as easy as sending a
text message or checking the weather. And to
the rest of the world, it looks as if they are doing
precisely that.
MY PERFECT MATCH
The Beltone HearPlus app lets
clients change volume and
programs and much more
directly from their iPhone,
iPad, iPod touch and the most
