Specsavers has unveiled its latest innovation in hearing technology: the Advance 65, a cutting-edge hearing aid platform that combines a dedicated neural processing chip with the category’s first built-in Auracast assistant. This latest release promises to transform the way users experience sound, making listening easier and more immersive.
AI-Driven Sound Processing for Clearer Hearing
At the heart of the Advance 65 is an integrated AI chip designed for low-latency, on-device audio computation. This processor continuously analyses incoming sound, performing real-time speech and background noise separation while dynamically adjusting speech frequencies over background sounds. This intelligent processing reduces reliance on static directional presets, allowing for automatic environmental classification and gain adjustment as soundscapes shift.
Specsavers explains that the result is reduced listening effort, enabling users to enjoy clearer conversations even in noisy settings.
Auracast Built In: Access Broadcast Audio Anywhere
Advance 65 also features the world’s first built-in Auracast assistant, enabling direct access to compatible LE Audio broadcast streams in public venues such as cinemas, airports, and live events — without needing any additional hardware. The platform also supports Bluetooth LE Audio for calls and media streaming, offering a seamless listening experience across devices.
