HUMANTECHNIK – Your partner for audiological products
earis premlum
»earis® premium«
opens up a completely new dimension for hearing impaired people listen to and
enjoy feature films, speech, and music programs on TV, Radio, or any other
audio device. The integrated Dynamic Sound Hearing Support (Dynamic sound HS)
offers five selectable basic tone profiles. These five basic tone profiles
were derived from research on the needs of hearing-impaired people when
listening to the types of programs described above. This research was carried
out by the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT in
Oldenburg, Germany. Whilst listening with the selected (preferred) tone
profile the listened-to program is then continuously and dynamically being
altered, by implementing an algorithm developed by the Fraunhofer Institute.
This for example keeps any loud sounds from reaching the user’s hearing. This
»cushions« the naturally changing levels for the respective listeners when
advertisements are displayed or when switching to another channel. It acts as
a continuously varying tone control on the listened-to sound to match it to
the user’s selected tone profile.
»earis® premium« sets are available with either an under-the-chin
receiver or a pocket receiver. The latter allows the connection of different
listening options. A large volume wheel is used for overall volume control up
to 122 dB (A). Both receivers have exchangeable rechargeable batteries. The TV
listening system can also be switched to a communication amplifier function.
The receiver then picks up and transmits the words of the conversation
partners in the room.

»earis ® premium makes your TV sound clear
»earis ® premium« transmits the TV sound wirelessly via the 2.4 GHz
digital frequency band and is available with a headset receiver or pocket
receiver. The design of the LED status display represents a timeless modern
appearance with an elegant high-tech accent. The system opens up a completely
new and in this category unique feel-good hearing experience for its users.
»Dynamic Sound HS« : hearing as you like it Humantechnik has integrated the main feature that makes »Paris ® premium« the top model in the premium class on the market under the name »dynamic sound HS«. This provides five-tone profiles that represent different listening preferences. You can select your personal feel-good sound at the touch of a button. A specially developed algorithm continuously adjusts the TV sound so that it always retains the character you have chosen for yourself – even when advertisement blocks or switching to other channels play in completely different sound and volume characteristics. The greater the deviation from the individually selected tone profile, the faster the compensating adjustment takes place.
Thus » Paris ® premium«f ulfills a significant wish of all people who would like to enjoy a higher level of sound enjoyment when watching television or listening to other media: Simple and effective self-adjustment. Users of »Paris ® premium« confirm there is a significantly improved understanding of speech in TV dialogues,

The premium decision for people who want to watch TV undisturbed and who
value excellent sound – at individual volume.
»earis ® XS«, the second system in the »earis®« series, integrates the
essential features of the top model and is therefore comparable with TV
listening systems from the premium segment of other manufacturers available on
the market.
Individual sound patterns
As the top model,» Paris ® XS« offers five presets. These were determined
representatively in extensive investigations with normally hearing and
hearing-impaired testers. Without exception, users confirm that they see their
preferred individual sound pattern represented.
Differences to the »earis ® « top model
Because »earis ® XS« does not feature the »dynamic sound HS« algorithm and the
conversation amplifier function, it can be offered at a much lower price, even
compared to other premium TV hearing systems. Humantechnik recommends »Paris ®
XS« for hearing-impaired people who value their personally preferred sound
when watching television and use their TV hearing systems primarily for this
purpose. »earis ® XS« sets are available with an under the chin- or pocket
receiver. A pair of earphones is included in the standard scope of delivery of
the pocket receiver, and the receiver also allows the connection of any
commercially available headphones.
