Health technology company Audibel has announced the launch of 'Arc AI,' a new hearing aid device that utilizes artificial intelligence technology to automatically adjust wearers' volumes depending on their environmental conditions.
The 'Arc AI' is offered in various styles, including behind-the-ear and entirely in-canal versions. In addition, the device comes equipped with some valuable features, including fall detection technology, which alerts a caregiver if the user has had an accident. The hearing aid also includes Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to take phone calls and listen to music while on the go.
By automatically adjusting to real-life environments, 'Arc AI' saves users the time and effort it takes to constantly tweak their devices manually. "If the room is noisy, Arc AI will reduce background noise; if you go out for a walk, it will pick up the sound direction," explains Keri Ruf, Audibel's regional managing director.
