Bernafon Alpha XT 5 Hearing Aids Overview
The Alpha XT 5 is the most basic model in the range; however, it maintains stylish comfort and significantly enhances the listening experience, but with fewer technological choices compared to the Alpha XT 7 and Alpha XT 9 models.
Noise Reduction Technology
In March 2023, the Bernafon Alpha XT digital hearing aid series introduced Hybrid Sound Care, an evolution of the original Alpha range that focuses on reducing wind and contact noise disturbances. This innovative technology aims to enhance speech clarity, particularly in outdoor windy conditions.
The Contact Noise Protector addresses issues like hair brushing or glasses movement by automatically adjusting amplification for clearer speech.
Improved Speech Comprehension
Building on existing Alpha features, Hybrid Sound Processing, Hybrid Noise Management, Hybrid Balancer, and Hybrid Feedback Canceller work to enhance speech understanding and overall listening comfort.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Bernafon Alpha XT 5 hearing aids come with Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a companion app, ensuring an outstanding listening experience. Bluetooth enables direct streaming of sound to various devices, allowing users to effortlessly enjoy audio content from smartphones, tablets, and TVs.
Charging Options
The Bernafon Alpha XT 5 hearing aids offer users two rechargeable and two disposable battery options. Charging solutions include an overnight desktop charger, providing a full day's power with a single charge, and a portable charger ideal for travel, offering three full charging cycles without requiring an outlet.
At a Glance:
- Improved listening comfort and enhanced speech comprehension.
- Rechargeable choices provide a full day's use, charging within 4 hours.

What you lose:
