Description
BeHear NOW utilizes voice processing technologies developed by Alango Technologies, Ltd. over the past two decades, such as:
- ListenThrough™ – Passing through important ambient sounds during music playback
- EasyListen™ – slowing down speech dynamically during phone conversations
- Personal Sound Amplifier – providing dynamic, compressed amplification of ambient sounds

- Digital hearing aid for personalised sound amplification across a wide sound spectrum

- In-person conversations
- Mobile phone conversations

Customisable for Your Hearing Capabilities and Preferences
