Introducing the New Unitron Smile Platform: Designed for Real-Life Hearing

Unitron has recently launched its latest hearing aid platform, Smile. This platform is aimed at delivering practical improvements in hearing support, comfort, and reliability. Built on the new ERA™ chip and enhanced with AI-driven sound optimization, Unitron Smile hearing aids offer a more personalized and dependable experience for people looking for a hearing aid that keeps up with daily life.

A Focus on Everyday Listening

At the core of the Smile platform is Integra OS, Unitron’s sound processing system. It uses machine learning to analyze and respond to different sound environments in real time, such as quiet conversations, outdoor settings, or noisy restaurants. The system can identify up to eight different listening situations and adjusts automatically to provide better speech understanding and reduced listening effort.

The Smile platform also includes upgraded features like:

• HyperFocus: Helps bring voices into clearer focus when background noise is present.
• Soft Speech Lift: Enhances softer voices without over-amplifying surrounding sounds.
• AutoFocus 360 (in higher technology levels): Detects the direction of speech and works with binaural microphones to provide a clearer, more natural experience.

These features work together to reduce strain and help users stay more engaged in conversation without needing to constantly adjust settings.

Redesigned Hardware for Improved Reliability

Unitron put a strong emphasis on reliability with this platform. Smile devices have gone through extensive testing to ensure they hold up in real-world conditions. The design includes:

• Water and dust resistance (IP68 rating)
• Parylene coating to protect internal components
• A redesigned housing and sealed rechargeable battery system

Unitron reports that Smile hearing aids underwent over 1,000 hours of environmental and mechanical stress testing. Including drop tests, corrosion tests, and battery cycling. This is meant to ensure the devices can handle everyday wear and tear, whether it’s sweat, moisture, or the occasional accidental drop.

New Model: Moxi Smile S-R

The first hearing aid to launch on this platform is the Moxi Smile S-R. A rechargeable receiver-in-canal (RIC) model available in multiple technology levels (9, 7, 5, and 3). It features:

• Up to 24 hours of battery life on a full charge
• Universal Bluetooth® connectivity for hands-free calls and streaming
• Improved wireless power and range, offering more stable connections
• Two charger options: a standard desktop charger and the portable ChargerGo

Users can also connect the device to Unitron’s Remote Plus app, which allows for at-home adjustments, firmware updates, and remote support from a hearing care provider.

Designed with User Experience in Mind

Unitron has emphasized a user-first approach with Smile. The system supports real-life data logging (“Log It All”) and offers flexibility through its Flex:trial and Flex:upgrade programs. Giving users and providers more control over selecting and adjusting technology levels.

The overall design also focuses on comfort, with a lightweight, discreet shell and color options that blend naturally with skin and hair tones.

Conclusion on Unitron Smile Hearing Aids

The Smile platform isn’t trying to reinvent hearing aids, it’s designed to refine and simplify them. With improvements to sound processing, device durability, and user convenience, Unitron has created a platform that seems well-suited to meet the needs of people looking for a reliable as well as personalized hearing experience.
