Is BeHear NOW a Hearing Aid or a Personal Sound Amplifier?

Bluetooth stereo headset for wireless mobile phone calls and media playback
Assistive hearing device for enhanced intelligibility of speech and other important sounds
Digital hearing aid for personalized sound amplification across a wide sound spectrum
BeHear NOW utilizes voice processing technologies developed by Alango Technologies, Ltd. over the past 15 years, such as:
ListenThrough™ - passing through important ambient sounds during music playback
EasyListen™ - slowing down speech dynamically during phone conversations
Personal Sound Amplifier - providing dynamic, compressed amplification of ambient sounds
Hearing enhancement functions - including noise reduction, echo cancellation, and more
