Galaxy Buds2 Pro Brings Enhanced Ambient Sound for People with Hearing Impairment
Whether it’s listening to your favourite music, or simply tuning into – or tuning out – your surroundings, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro offers the ultimate in sound for everyone. Samsung is committed to helping those with hearing impairment better enjoy the sounds of the world around them with the introduction of new enhanced Ambient Sound.
Making Technology More Accessible and Inclusive
The updated Ambient Sound feature – which gives users the ability to listen to and stay aware of their surroundings – offers enhanced amplification[1] and providing the benefit of improved hearing to even more users.
To assess the feature’s efficacy[2], a clinical trial was undertaken by the University of Iowa’s Hearing Aid and Aging Research Laboratory. Their research concluded that the Galaxy Buds2 Pro significantly improved speech perception in those with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. A similar trial conducted by Samsung Medical Center also found that the Galaxy Buds2 Pro could be an effective tool to help those with mild-to-moderate hearing loss to better communicate in a quiet place.
Bringing New Levels to Audio Customisation
With this improved feature, Galaxy Buds2 Pro users can also fine-tune their Ambient Sound settings across a variety of needs. Users can adjust the volumes on the left and the right respectively, as well as customise their Ambient Sound tone range from soft to clear across five different stages. Additionally, Ambient Sound can tune to users’ ears through the Adapt Ambient Sound feature, allowing for even more clarity in helping users hear the world around them better.
“We are excited to be introducing the new enhanced accessibility feature of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro to users on Global Accessibility Awareness Day,” said Han-gil Moon, Master and Head of Advanced Audio Lab, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to work to help each and every user experience the best possible audio anytime, anywhere with their Galaxy Buds2 Pro.”
Availability
The enhanced Ambient Sound feature will be progressively released on Galaxy Buds2 Pro via software updates in the coming weeks[3].
