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.
