Less distraction, more interaction

The new Philips HearLink technology in short

  • Unique AI sound technology removes noise efficiently to create a superb sound quality. SoundProtect works to clean the signal pathway from unwanted sounds.
  • New Speech Clarifier makes speech stand out in noisy environments.
  • One of the industry’s smartest domes with SoundTunnels improves sound quality and lowers the risk of feedback.
  • Improved connectivity options allow for direct streaming from iOS and Android devices.

SoundProtect works to clean the signal pathway from these unwanted sounds. Wind noise, which is a phenomenon that often occurs when hearing aids are used outside, is now elegantly reduced by SoundProtect. Sudden sounds, loud and quiet, are also taken care of. The result is a higher quality of signal for the partner AI Noise Reduction (AI-NR) and a cleaner sound for the user.

Two strategies can be employed to counter these noises. Wind noise is managed by careful analysis of the noise level in each microphone. SoundProtect can then select the microphone with the lowest noise level for each band and will adjust this selection over time, ensuring that the cleanest signal is allowed to reach the AI-NR. Transient noises are managed with a fast, effective gain reduction to minimize the impact of the transient noise on the AI-NR.

Maximizing intelligence, minimizing noise

The new Philips HearLink uses AI sound technology now with SoundProtect to further improve its signal quality in noise. Artificial intelligence in the noise reduction process has taught itself the optimal approaches to reduce noise. SoundProtect effectively and quickly reduces challenging noise sources delivering a cleaner signal to the AI sound processing. During a guided training phase, the knowledge is built up and validated. The intelligence in the AI-NR coordinates the noise reduction effect across its 24 frequency bands. This way AI-NR becomes more precise, more efficient and a more powerful system to make speech clearer in noise.

Even cleaner, even clearer

Philips HearLink complements the effect of directionality and noise reduction with Speech Clarifier. While directionality and noise reduction aim to preserve speech and attenuate noise, Speech Clarifier makes speech stand out in noise. SoundProtect ensures that less unwanted sound continues through the signal processing, disrupting the benefits of Speech Clarifier.

Small in appearance, great in impact

With the OpenBass dome, Sound Tunnels™ replace the flat holes we know from conventional open domes. This ensures high stability of the acoustical performance in individual ear canals. With this we lower the risk of feedback and improve overall sound quality.

All good news in SoundMap 2 Plus

SoundMap 2 Plus continues to operate in 24 frequency bands with advanced directionality, designed to prioritize speech in noisy environments. Now it includes SoundProtect, improving the accuracy of the noise control, the amplification, and the feedback cancellation.

An illustration of SoundMap 2 Plus with Speech Clarifier, SoundProtect, AI-NR, and a feedback cancellation system is shown next to a Philips HearLink hearing aid.
