BeHear® SMARTO is a fully customisable hand-held or body-worn personal listening amplifier with Bluetooth connectivity. It is intended for those who need a conversation booster to stay connected to friends, family, and colleagues. 

SMARTO provides up to 70dB of amplification that can be adjusted quickly and easily to match the user’s personal listening preferences. While specifically designed to enhance listening for live conversations, the Bluetooth support expands its functionality to mobile  phone and Internet calls. SMARTO is also ideal for listening to streamed Bluetooth audio from smartphones, televisions, and computers. 

While SMARTO works “out of the box”, allowing users to adjust volume, tone, and microphone directionality settings easily on the device itself, it can also be customised via the dedicated BeHear smartphone application. Users independently (or with minimal assistance) perform a simple hearing assessment, the results of which are automatically applied to the device. From that point on, all sounds are customised to fit the user’s specific hearing loss, well beyond what could be achieved with simple volume and tone control. 

SMARTO is rechargeable, using a convenient magnetised charging station, for up to 48 hours of continuous use. SMARTO comes with two types of wired lightweight headsets (over-the-ear, and in-ear buds with multiple sizes and shapes of silicone tips). It can be hand-held for pointing at the direction of sound, worn around the neck using its comfortable lanyard, or securely clipped onto a pocket, purse, or belt.
