AUDIO QUALITY
The BEAN has been meticulously engineered
to produce the highest fidelity possible.
The frequency response of the BEAN has
been shaped specifically to improve speech
intelligibility. When playing or listening to
music, The BEAN can process peak inputs up to
115 dB without distortion. It also has a 16 kHz
bandwidth, at least double the bandwidth of
other personal sound amplifiers on the market.

COMMUNICATION
The BEAN’s unique circuitry enhances only
soft sounds, and is acoustically transparent
for loud sounds. It passes loud sounds through
as if there were nothing in your ear. The BEAN
employs adaptive compression algorithms
and continuously-variable recovery times
that allows the BEAN to constantly adjust
to changing sounds in the environment. The
transitions are so smooth, many people forget
they are wearing them.
PEASY TO USE
The BEAN has just one dual-mode switch for
the user to adjust. Both versions of the BEAN
will run up to 12 days on a single battery, and
there is an audible indicator to let you know
when the battery is running down. Everything
needed to get started comes in the box,
including multiple eartips for a comfortable fit,
batteries, and a leather carrying case.

between LO and HI levels of amplification. On the
available telecoil version of the BEAN, the switch
selects either microphone mode or telecoil mode.
Telecoil mode allows sounds to be heard directly
from a room loop system.
