Effortless Hearing with SAMBA 2
“With SAMBA 2, we wanted to create an audio processor that bone conduction and middle ear implant recipients can just put on in the morning and then forget about,” explains Alexander Hofer, Head of Product Management at MED-EL. That’s where SAMBA 2’s advanced hearing technology comes in. It automatically adjusts its settings for optimal hearing, whatever the situation.
SAMBA 2’s Intelligent Hearing Technology at a Glance:
Six different environments: Quiet, Speech in Quiet, Noise, Speech in Noise, Music, and Car.
Intelligent Sound Adapter 2.0: Learns hearing preferences for each environment.
Enhanced noise reduction: Filters out background speech noise and cuts out noises between words.
Speech tracking: Adapts microphones toward speech no matter which direction voices come from.
Automatic adaption: SAMBA 2‘s microphones seamlessly adapt to every environment, whether quiet or noisy.
“When you’re driving, SAMBA 2 can detect the car environment and activate the speech tracking feature. This allows the microphones to select the best possible mode for picking up your passengers’ voices—even when they happen to be sitting behind you!” – Amanda T. O’Donnell, Audiologist and Product Manager at MED-EL
Hassle-Free Handling
SAMBA 2 was built with feedback from both hearing implant recipients and hearing professionals in mind. “We know some people find things like changing batteries fiddly, that’s why we introduced a new battery door design,” explains Alexander.
The intuitive new design makes changing batteries, design covers, and attachment clips straightforward and convenient. And the optional SAMBA 2 Remote app means there is no need to carry around an extra remote: Users can manage simple predefined settings like volume and programs directly from their smartphone. They can even check their battery status on the go.
