High Performance Hearing Aids Designed by Audiologists
Designed by audiologists to help 95% of the most common hearing issues, the EarCentric™ SMART hearing aid is specifically created to provide you with full control of your hearing while simplifying tedious traditional fitting processes. Combining the same digital technology as much more costlier devices with universal pre-programmed settings, the SMART mini BTE can help you enjoy all the sounds you've been missing, in both quiet and noisy situations, all with a simple click.
Boosting Speech, not Noise
With an intelligent 12-band digital sound processing core, EarCentric™ SMART identifies sound pattern in real time, selectively recognizing and amplifying high-frequency sounds associated with human speech; Its 10-band layered noise reduction algorithm reduces unwanted background noise.
Special Telecoil Mode
SMART comes with telecoil (t-switch) to wirelessly stream sound in compatible theaters, auditoriums, as well as telephone conversation. Compatible with smart phones and traditional landline.
Comfort, Natural Sound, Minimal Occlusion
The SMART behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid has a lightweight, medical-grade design and construction. The tiny body provides a comfortable, secure fit and accentuates the premium sound quality. The unique ear domes, combining open fit comfort and closed tip reliability, allow natural sounds to pass through without being amplified. This leaves your ear canal unblocked, eliminating any "tunnel" or "echoing" sensations, and minimizing occlusion (hearing the sound of your own voice louder than you are normally used to).
I Can Hear!
I couldn't believe how much I could hear and how much more comfortable I was in social settings now. Work is much better too! I can hear people clearly and don't seem like the "deaf old guy" any more. My wife will be much happier to know that I can turn the radio in the car down to a normal level and still hear it. Before, she would complain about headaches from the noise.

Automatic Feedback cancellation
Annoying feedback or whistling noises are a common side effect with hearing aids. As soon as you place the thin tube in your ear canal, the EarCentric SMART BTE's automatic feedback cancellation system will protect against feedback. An adaptive noise reduction system improves hearing comfort in noisy environments.
10 bands Layered Noise Reduction
All sounds are not amplified equally. The SMART Mini BTE hearing aid provides 10 bands of layered noise reduction, reconstructing the natural sound and human voices by eliminating undesired noise.
Multi-channel Wide-Dynamic-Range Compression (WDRC)
Multi-channel compression allows the appropriate amount of compression to be applied at different frequencies. It improves the audibility of soft speech sounds by applying more gain (or amplification) to soft sounds. On the other hand, loud sounds, which may be uncomfortable, are reduced. SMART hearing aids selectively boost the low-level, high-frequency sounds associated with human speech recognition.
Low-Level Expansion
With WDRC compression, the hearing aid wearer may find that many low-level environmental noises such as air conditioners, fridges and computer noises are now audible to them. With digital expansion processing, the SMART BTE suppresses these noises to minimal levels.

SMART hearing aids come with 4 hearing presets for various listening environments:
- Quiet settings
- Meetings/Restaurants
- Speech enhancement in noisy situations
- Telephone mode offering crystal clear phone conversation free of background noise
12 Band Frequency Shaping
Generally speaking, for flat or slightly sloping hearing loss, 4 bands provide adequate flexibility for frequency shaping; however, for steeply sloping loss, a greater number of adjustment bands are required. The SMART hearing aid comes with 12 adjustment bands to improve matched target sound amplification while preventing the occurrence of feedback.
Safe for All Ages
Discreet and transparent thin ear tubes do not interfere with eyeglasses, provide perfect and safe fitting for all ages including children.
Never Miss the Sounds you Love
Sound is always on! The EarCentric SMART will detect when the battery is low and provide a warning signal. A warning signal will sound every 10 minutes, indicating that the battery needs to be replaced to avoid poor performance and device failure.
Uses size #10 hearing aid battery. 5-7 days battery life for normal use based on 8-10 hours each day.

It's easy! Just turn it to telecoil mode
EarCentric SMART hearing aids are also equipped with a telecoil, which receives sound directly from compatible source. It's easy to use. It connects people instantly to telephones that are hearing-aid compatible, which the majority of phones are. People can also use personal neckloops to enjoy music, TV, cellphones and computers in quiet privacy. Telecoil is free of background noise and feedback when used in conjunction with telephones and other compatible audio sources including:
- Most landline phones
- Most smartphones and cell phones
- Public places that are equipped with telecoil compatible assisted listening systems, including movie theaters, concert halls, sports arenas and places of worship. When the sign at right is present, it signifies that a telecoil system is available at that location
Instead of using a microphone, the telecoil inside of your hearing aids picks up the electromagnetic voice signal coming through a telephone. This minimizes background noise and allows you to hear the conversation more clearly.
