Using BeHear NOW
Personal Hearing
Once powered on, the BeHear NOW headset operates as a personal sound amplifier. No
Bluetooth pairing is required for this type of sound amplification. Ambient sounds are amplified
and transmit
ted from the headset’s microphones directly to your ears.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend turning off key tones (alerts, notification sounds, keyboard taps, etc.) in the
smartphone connected to your BeHear NOW headset. Another alternative is to place the phone
in “vibrate” or “silent” mode.
This will guarantee smooth and pleasant operation of your BeHear
NOW as a personal sound amplifier without undesired sound disruptions produced by
smartphone activity.
Four different presets have been created to support optimal hearing for various environments:
Indoor
,
Outdoor
,
Crowd
and
Live Music
. These presets can be used as is, out-of-the-box. They
will be personalized automatically based on the results of the BeHear NOW
Hearing Test
, which
is built into the
W&H BeHear
smartphone application. Furthermore, these presets can be
customized by the user in real-time.
