Accessing the brain with better hearing performance

No manual adjustment

Children should be spending their time playing, listening, and learning, not worrying about adjusting their hearing aid programs. AutoSense Sky OS is the only * operating system built for a child’s listening environment and is clinically proven to always select the best settings and maximize hearing performance. ** 2, 3

Crystal clear sound

Being able to hear all aspects of speech is vital for brain and speech development – so providing high-frequency amplification that is audible but does not distort other sounds is key. SoundRecover2 gives children access to a broader range of sounds essential for speech and language development. 4 It improves high-frequency speech audibility by utilizing an adaptive frequency-lowering algorithm that is only applied when the level of hearing loss requires it. The sound quality of low and mid-frequencies is maintained while high-frequency sounds are made audible. 5

Hear all around

The innovative Binaural VoiceStream Technology (BVST) in Sky B hearing aids allows each side to work together. It streams the full audio bandwidth in real time and bi-directionally, tackling challenging listening situations by simulating what the brain does with sounds from both ears. This linking of two hearing aids ensures that children benefit from hearing speech in both ears, especially in noisy environments, on the phone 6 or when they can’t see the speaker.

* Valid February 2018** Based on the same technology as AutoSense OS*** Compared to without Binaural VoiceStream Technology

Thanks to proven Sky B features, such as AutoSense Sky OS, SoundRecover2 and Binaural VoiceStream TechnologyTM, Sky B-PR offers listening performance that responds seamlessly to the many different acoustic environments that children find themselves in.

When more complex listening needs arise, Sky B-PR can be combined with a choice of Roger systems to increase access to quality speech and language. It can team up with the ComPilot II and a Roger X to deliver the speech of a teacher, a parent, or a friend directly to a child’s ears. Even with 10 hours of Roger streaming, the Sky B-PR will last 16 hours on a full charge 1 – getting kids through their whole day without restriction.
