Personalization
We recommend that you adjust the acoustic performance of the amplifier to suit your own
personal hearing capabilities and preferences, using the built-in Hearing Assessment in the
BeHear app.
If you have a recent audiogram, you can skip the BeHear Hearing Assessment and enter the
values from it manually. Tap the Personal option in the bottom menu and enter the values into
the table in the Editor.
You can also choose a sample audiogram from the app’s Library.
The results (whether generated from the hearing assessment, chosen from the library, or
manually input into the editor) are automatically applied to the BeHear SMARTO to create your
hearing profile. Sounds from live conversations, audio play, and phone calls will all be
personalized based on this hearing profile.
Hearing Assessment
During the assessment, six different testing sounds will be played for each ear, one after the
other. Each testing sound represents a different range of audible frequencies. The purpose of
the assessment is to determine the best volume for each frequency range based on your unique
hearing profile. The results will be saved in the app’s Library and applied to the headset. They
will be used to adjust the audio performance of your personal BeHear SMARTO amplifier.
Two variances of the assessment are available:
• Basic assessment. This is the default option, which will be sufficient for most users. During
the Basic assessment you will be asked to indicate at which volume the testing sound first
becomes audible (Hearing Threshold).
• Advanced assessment. This assessment is more comprehensive and therefore takes longer.
During the Advanced assessment you will need to indicate two different volume levels for
each testing sound. One is the Hearing Threshold, the same as for the Basic assessment.
The other is the Comfortable Level, which reflects the volume level at which it is most
comfortable for your ear to process the testing sound.
In order to toggle between the Advanced and the Basic assessment tap the Settings icon at the
bottom of the BeHear app screen and select the Application option. Scroll down to the Hearing
Assessment Mode option.
Before Starting the Hearing Assessment
Before starting the assessment, you should verify the following:
You have installed and launched the BeHear app on your
smartphone.
You have selected the desired assessment mode – Basic (default)
or Advanced, in the Application section of the Settings screen.
The BeHear SMARTO amplifier is turned on and connected to the
smartphone via Bluetooth.
You have plugged in the headset of the type you will wear when
using the amplifier.
You are wearing your BeHear SMARTO amplifier, and the ear buds
have been placed firmly in your ears according to the marking –
“L” for the left ear and “R” for the right ear.
You are in a quiet environment.
Note: The BeHear app monitors the ambient noise during the assessment and will not allow the
assessment to proceed if the ambient noise level is too high.
