Bernafon Channel Free Technology

To be receptive to any speech the person has to focus upon these ‘phonemes’ which are an integral part of any sentence and person with hearing loss often find it confusing while understanding the speech. Technically, a phoneme is a particular “unit” of noise that has sense in any speech. At present there are 44 phonemes in English (in the standard British model) each one symbolizing a diverse sound an individual can create. For 26 alphabets the grouping of letters can make phoneme. As single letter can also signify phonemes like the sounds represented by “c” and “b” are different phonemes, as in the words “cat” and “bat.” Another example of grouping of letters ‘Ta’ in Tag, Tan and Tab here the “Ta” letter grouping has three different pronunciations, which are characterized by three diverse phonemes. A modern-day hearing device offers compressive amplification, giving added gain for softer sounds than for louder sounds. But the stress always remains upon the fact that tremendously speedy compression is required from the hearing instrument to compensate. Here comes the state of the art Bernafon Channel Free Technology which delivers very fast phonemic compression in a way that its competitors cannot even imagine to reach to those levels of precision. This technology’s basic methodology scrutinizes and regulates the gain up to 20 thousand times per second. In other words every phoneme is individually examined and fine-tuned on average 2 thousand times. As an outcome every phoneme gets desired amplification required with soft unvoiced consonants getting extra gain than loud vowels. In this way, this specific technology advances more like the healthy cochlea.
