BABBLE: SOUND FOCUS
Anybody who struggles to focus on conversations in noisy environments should try BABBLE.
Traditional aids amplify all noise, including noise from all directions. BABBLE has directional sensitivity.
BABBLE: TARGET YOUR HEARING
Babble is an innovative and affordable gadget that focuses on the source of the sound and amplifies this, whilst using compression techniques to avoid that sound is amplified too much.
BABBLE: NOISY ENVIRONMENTS
Babble is targeted at people who struggle to hear in noisy environments such as restaurants, parties, formal occasions, conferences and in the sports stadium.
BABBLE: HEARING AID ?
Babble differs from traditional hearing aids in that it provides directional sensitivity and that it looks completely different. Maximum Gain is 40dB and therefore only suitable for light hearing loss.
BABBLE: TECHNICAL
Babble contains two microphones that provide a directional sensitivity towards the source of the sound. By placing the Babble in the ear and pointing it forwards, into the direction of your vision, you will be able to hear your partner much better. Compression techniques avoid excess noise being amplified. Babble functions as a 'funnel' for sound to your ears.
BABBLE: TYPICAL USERS
Babble is perfect for partners who struggle to hear each other over dinner at the restaurant. Babble is also ideally suited for using in front of the TV, at the theatre or in the club.
Hearing device for noisy surroundings
Listening device Babble is designed for people who do not need a classical hearing aid, but do have trouble understanding others in noisy surroundings. Situations where this can happen are: restaurants, parties, receptions, bars, sport events, congresses and dances. Babble contains two minuscule directional microphones that can be focussed on the voice of your conversation partner; the signal is amplified and sent to the high quality earphone. A built-in compressor ensures that sudden loud sounds are suppressed and the sound level remains pleasant at all times.
With Babble in your ear you have the benefit of improved hearing selectivity combined with a discreet but distinctive design.
Watching television
Babble is an ideal listening device for people who have to increase the volume of their TV sets, because they cannot, for instance, understand what the newsreader is saying. With Babble in your ear the TV set can remain at a normal volume and will therefore not affect those around you.
Theatre and cabaret
Babble is useful for people visiting theatres and cabarets. The Babble focuses on the distant sounds and amplifies them to the required volume.
Simple to operate
Babble has the modern looks of a hands-free set of your mobile phone. The little device is very simple to use and affordable for everyone. Babble always fits, it is shipped with three different sized ear pieces. When you need maximum amplification you can ask your Audiologist to make a special ear plug for you. The Babble is currently only available in metallic silver. Other colours will be available in 2005.
