Jabra's Enhance Select 700 Are Top-Tier Hearing Aids That Don't Add Much
"The big sell is a new audio feature called SoundScape Auto Focus. This technology is designed to improve speech clarity in noisy conditions, filtering out background sounds and automatically prioritizing human voices. Auto Focus is integrated into the hardware and can't be toggled off or tweaked; Jabra describes the technology as non-directional and dynamic, able to pick out voices even if they aren't being generated directly in front of you."
"I struggled a bit with Auto Focus when I first started using the Enhance Select 700, as I had trouble hearing my wife in a restaurant playing loudish music over the PA-exactly the scenario Auto Focus was designed for. I requested a programming change from Jabra to mitigate this issue, and new tuning was promptly pushed to the hearing aids through Jabra's app."
SoundScape Auto Focus improves speech clarity in noisy environments by filtering background sounds and automatically prioritizing human voices. Auto Focus is integrated into the hardware, cannot be toggled or adjusted, and operates non-directionally to pick out voices even when they are not directly in front of the user. The feature can produce variable results across environments; a user experienced difficulty in a loud restaurant but received updated tuning pushed through the companion app. Overall audio quality matches Jabra's standards with no dramatic difference versus the predecessor. Microphone filters are now replaceable, and many replacements and ear tips are included.
