How Aris AI Hearing Aids Can Help You Hear Better in Background Noise

For many people with hearing loss, hearing in a quiet room isn’t the biggest challenge.

It’s the restaurant where dishes are clattering and conversations are happening at every table. It’s the family gathering where three people start talking at once. It’s riding in the car with road noise all around you. Or sitting across the room from your spouse while the television is playing.

You may be able to hear that someone is talking — but understanding the words is another story.

That’s one of the biggest challenges today’s newest hearing technology is designed to address.


How Aris AI Hearing Aids Help in Noisy Environments

Aris AI is the latest generation of hearing technology available at Summit Hearing Solutions. Rather than simply making everything louder, Aris AI uses artificial intelligence to continuously analyze the sounds around you and help separate the voices you want to hear from competing background noise.

Think of it this way: your hearing aids are constantly listening to the room and deciding which sounds deserve your attention.

The technology behind Aris AI can recognize speech, noise and where sounds are coming from, then make adjustments automatically as your surroundings change. Its DNN 360 technology uses artificial intelligence trained on millions of sounds to help identify speech and improve understanding in difficult listening environments. Aris AI hearing aids are designed to help separate speech from competing background noise, making conversations easier to follow in restaurants, family gatherings and other busy environments.

But the technology itself isn't really the important part.

What matters is what it could mean for your everyday life.


Dinner Out Can Feel Like Dinner Out Again

Imagine going to a busy restaurant with another couple.

There’s music playing. Servers are talking. Silverware is hitting plates. A group at the next table is laughing.

With hearing loss, all of those sounds can compete with the person sitting directly across from you. You may hear plenty of sound but still find yourself saying:

"What did you say?"

"Say that again."

Or eventually, you simply stop trying to keep up.

Aris AI is designed to identify speech within all that competing noise and make voices easier to understand. Because its sound processing works around you rather than only focusing straight ahead, it can also help when the person speaking isn't sitting directly in front of you.

That can mean spending less energy trying to piece together a conversation — and more time actually being part of it.


Keeping Up at a Family Gathering

Now picture Thanksgiving dinner or a birthday party.

Your daughter is talking on your left. Your grandson asks you something from the other side of the table. Someone behind you joins the conversation.

Traditional hearing technology can sometimes make it difficult to know which sounds to focus on.

Aris AI's DNN 360 technology is designed to continually monitor sound from around the wearer while preserving awareness of where voices and other important sounds are coming from.

Instead of constantly turning your head trying to find the speaker, the goal is a more natural listening experience — one where you can follow the conversation as it moves around the room.


A Conversation in the Car

Cars can be surprisingly difficult listening environments.

Road noise, the engine, air conditioning and traffic create a steady layer of sound. Add a passenger speaking beside you instead of directly in front of you, and understanding conversation can become difficult very quickly.

Aris AI automatically adapts as the listening environment changes, without requiring you to continually adjust programs or controls.

So whether you're sitting quietly at home or riding down the highway, the hearing aids are designed to make their own adjustments in real time.

You don't have to understand the technology.

The technology is supposed to understand the situation for you.


Hearing More Without Making Everything Louder

One of the most important differences in modern hearing technology is that better hearing isn't simply about more volume.

If everything is louder, the sounds you don't want to hear can become louder too.

Aris AI uses advanced sound processing to distinguish between sounds such as speech and distracting noise. The goal is clearer speech while still allowing you to remain aware of what's happening around you.

In simple terms:

Less struggling with the noise. More understanding the person who's talking.


Technology That Works in the Background


Despite all of the artificial intelligence inside Aris AI, using it doesn't have to feel complicated.

The hearing aids can automatically recognize changes in your surroundings and adjust their sound processing without requiring you to constantly change settings. Aris AI also offers rechargeable models, smartphone connectivity and streaming capabilities for compatible devices.

For most wearers, however, the best technology is the technology they don't have to think about.

You put your hearing aids on in the morning.

Then you go live your life.


Could Aris AI Help You Hear Better in Background Noise?


No hearing aid can eliminate every listening challenge, and everyone's hearing loss is different. That's why the right technology needs to be selected and professionally programmed for your individual hearing needs.


But if you've avoided restaurants, struggled through family gatherings or found yourself constantly asking people to repeat themselves when there is background noise, today's technology may offer a very different experience than hearing aids you tried years ago.

At Summit Hearing Solutions, we'll help you understand your hearing loss, demonstrate the newest hearing technology and determine whether Aris AI is a good fit for your hearing needs and lifestyle.


You expect more from your hearing care. So do we.
