Ear ID Personalization
Ear ID has been designed to give complete control of your hearing assessment and auto calibration process. The process works as follows:
- Download the Nuheara IQbuds app from the App Store or Google Play
- Ensure that you get the right fit, find a quiet place and start the Ear ID to measure your thresholds
- Ear ID creates a personal hearing profile, unique to you, which you can redo at any time
- Ear ID calibrates the IQbuds² MAX or BOOST to your hearing profile using AI powered NAL-NL2 technology
Ear ID Clinically Validated Technology
At the core of the Ear ID personalization system is the National Acoustics Laboratories NAL-NL2 audiological prescription fitting software. The NAL-NL2 software maximises speech intelligibility and is the same as that used in audiologist clinics around the world to calibrate high end hearing aids. Nuheara has validated the results of Ear ID, based on clinical standards.
Ongoing Hearing
Self-Management
With the IQbuds² MAX or BOOST and the Ear ID personalization system, you can redo your Ear ID whenever you need to. That means you can retest whenever you want and enjoy a hearing solution that seamlessly fits into your lifestyle over time.
