California-based hearing aid maker Ceretone has launched Core One Pro--a tiny, nearly invisible hearing.

Building on Ceretone's original Core One model, the Core One Pro is the result of more than two years of intensive research and development.  With the help of thousands of actual customers' insightful comments, our most recent version has produced a gadget that is both notably more powerful and compact, offering improved comfort and remarkably clearer, more natural sound quality.

The most noteworthy aspect of the Core One Pro is its invisible capabilities.  It is categorized as an Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) gadget since it is made to fit entirely inside the ear canal, making it nearly invisible to the naked eye.  It is one of the lightest hearing aids available, weighing only 0.035 oz, or about the weight of a paperclip, reports New Atlas.

"After wearing it for a few hours, I completely forgot it was there—and no whistling at all," reports one early user, echoing feedback from hundreds of customers. This exceptional comfort comes from analyzing over 10,000 ear canal samples, paired with multiple sizes of soft, ergonomic open eartips.

The Audio 16 chipset, which is derived from Intricon, a U.S. business with forty years of experience in micromedical technology, is what technically distinguishes the Core One Pro.  This processor, which was first created for prescription hearing aids, has been modified for over-the-counter usage, giving regular people access to professional-level performance at a cost they can afford.

Through this collaboration, Ceretone's state-of-the-art technology and Intricon's vast knowledge of hearing technology are combined to create a potent synergy that produces incredibly realistic, crystal-clear sound reproduction and improved audio clarity.  As a result, a wider audience can now get professional-grade performance that was previously only possible with pricey prescription devices.

Pricing and availability

At $329 during the launch month and $389 thereafter, the Core One Pro costs roughly one-tenth of traditional prescription hearing aids, which typically range from $4,000 to $8,000 per pair.

The Core One Pro is now available for purchase at the company’s website and will be soon available on Amazon.
