Bluetooth Hearing Aids
Even though the Zerena 1 is a Budget hearing aid, it still uses that super-fast and powerful chip which includes the new smart dual-radio wireless technology with 2.4 GHz direct-to-hearing-aid and NFMI ear-to-ear technology. That means that just like the rest of the Zerena range you can enjoy direct audio streaming from your iPhone straight to your ears. It also provides seamless communication between the two hearing instruments which is used to give you the best sound possible in every situation.
Automatic Hearing Aids
Bernafon believe that in real life, the sound environment is active and constantly changing. Our surroundings constantly change between calm and quiet to excited and loud very quickly. They believe that offering a dynamic and automatic hearing aid is the answer to the question. The Zerena 1 hearing aids are fully automatic and dynamically change to reflect the sound environment
The Zerena 1 range does not use the brand new Dynamic Environment Control System™ or DECS™. DECS is the core Bernafon’s strategy to help you hear better. It works in changing listening environments, resulting in dynamic and seamless amplification for you at all times. However, the range does use elements of the new system.
Premium features
At this level the Dynamic Directionality is set to low focus and while the Zerena 1 range does have Dynamic Noise Reduction, there are no changeable settings.
In the Zerena 1 range, the Dynamic Amplification Controls do not work.
In the Zerena 1 range of digital hearing aids Bernafon have removed the Binaural Noise Manager. That means that when it comes to noise, the hearing aids act as individuals as opposed to a dedicated pair.
The Dynamic Range Extender which allows loud sounds to be heard clearly (could matter for concerts or live music) is not present in the Zerena 1.
The Transient Noise Reduction feature which handles sudden impact sounds is not present in the Zerena 1
The Zerena 1 range offers an 8 kHz Frequency Bandwidth which is wide but is reduced from the 10 kHZ bandwidth of the Zerena 9.
The Zerena 1 range provides 8 Fitting Bands in comparison to 16 in the Zerena 9. Which means that the 1 can still be customised to your hearing loss but not quite as well as the 5, 7 or the 9.
Tinnitus SoundSupport
The Zerena 1 implements amplification and tinnitus relief together in one solution. It offers various tinnitus relief sounds as part of different sound therapies.
Zerena 1 Models
The Zerena 1 range is available in a full range of hearing aid types, two Receiver In The Ear (RITE) models, one of which has a rechargeable option. A Behind The Ear (BTE) Model and finally five custom or In The Ear models (ITE). All of the hearing aids in the range except the two smallest, the Completely In Canal (CIC) and the Invisible In Canal (IIC or Invisible hearing aid) are direct connection Bluetooth enabled hearing aids. The new invisible hearing aid from is the smallest IIC they have ever made and they say it will fit up to 80% of ears.
