  • Can I change or update my hearing profile after I have taken the first test on my headphones?

  • What happens if I don’t create a hearing profile on Mimi-enabled headphones?

    You can still use your headphones as normal,, but you won’t benefit from Mimi’s personalized sound or voice clarity features.

  • Why is Sound Personalization a great feature for my headphones?

    Every ear is unique and our hearing changes over time. Hearing ability varies with age, health conditions or congenital factors, and is also influenced by listening behavior. We use glasses to see objects more clearly, so why don’t we use technology that can do the same for our hearing? When you use regular headphone devices, most likely, they will not meet the requirements of your individual hearing abilities or listening preferences. This is where Sound Personalization steps in. The goal of it is to overcome the one-size-fits-all agenda when it comes to different audio devices. Sound Personalization also means that the audio you listen to is optimized in a way that is suitable and beneficial to you.

  • What app do I use to access the Sound Personalization feature?

    Download the companion app for your headphones to access Mimi Sound Personalization and all its benefits.

  • How do I test my hearing and set up my hearing profile on my headphones?

    After taking a short hearing test, you can activate customized sound based on your unique hearing profile. This means, only those frequencies that you are not able to hear clearly, or not at all, are amplified. As a result, lost or less defined sound details are restored and you can enjoy a better overall audio experience.

    Take three easy steps to experience sound tailored to your unique hearing:

    1. Download the companion app for your headphones

    2. Select the Mimi Sound Personalization feature

    3. Take a hearing test and fine-tune Mimi Sound Personalization exactly to your taste.

  • Is Sound Personalization always on after completing the hearing test and creating my hearing profile?

    After setting up your hearing profile, and turning Mimi ‘on’, the selected settings are saved and continue to personalize your sound any time you listen with your headphones. No need to keep going back to the app!

  • Should I use Voice Clarity in noisy places while wearing my earbuds?

    Yes, definitely. Voice Clarity is designed to help you better engage with people around you in noisy environments like cafés, offices, airports, or public transportation by enhancing speech and reducing background noise.

  • Mimi for TV

  • What is Mimi Sound Personalization for TV?

    Mimi Sound Personalization is a technology that adapts the audio signal of the TV in real time to the user’s hearing ability. It restores details in the audio signal that would otherwise not be heard by users with less-than-perfect hearing, so that they hear more and experience better sound.

  • Why is Sound Personalization a great feature to have on my TV?

    Mimi enhances the TV viewing experience. When Mimi is activated you may find it easier to understand dialogue, and background sounds or music become more audible.Individual sounds are also easier to distinguish within complex audioscapes. This is particularly great for movies where you can have a lot of different sounds in a single scene, or when watching sports, where you have a commentator, the crowd, and the players.With Mimi these details are all much easier to hear, which makes the experience much more immersive and enjoyable.

  • How does Mimi Sound Personalization cater for people of different hearing abilities viewing together?

    Mimi Sound Personalization provides the most benefit for people with less-than-perfect hearing. In viewing scenarios where users have varying hearing abilities, Mimi is always best applied for the viewer with the greatest degree of hearing impairment.Mimi would always advise users to create a profile based on a hearing test to determine hearing ability, however in the absence of this a demographic user profile should be created based on the age of the oldest person viewing. As we age our hearing ability degrades, therefore catering to the likelihood of the oldest viewer having the poorest hearing ability, will provide the best overall experience for all viewers.People with hearing impairment often increase volume levels in an attempt to hear more, which can lead to an uncomfortable viewing experience for those with normal hearing. Mimi restores detail and improves clarity, even at lower volume levels, while intensity can be adjusted from entirely transparent, through to strong, as required.Enabling Mimi to cater for the lowest hearing ability will ensure the most comfortable and optimised viewing experience for everyone.

  • How do I test my hearing and set up my hearing profile on the television?

    There are three options to set up your hearing profile on your TV:
    ‍
    1. TV Hearing Test
    ‍
    2. Create your Hearing ID with a short hearing test on the Mimi Hearing Test App. The Mimi Hearing Test is intuitive and easy to use. It measures your hearing ability at different frequencies to create your personal Mimi Hearing Profile. Once completed, you can then add your hearing profile to the television, to personalize all sound in real time. Temporarily unavailable: The hearing profile can be added to the television with a QR code, which will sync your Hearing Test app with the TV.

    3. Based on your year of birth.

  • What are the benefits for my television viewing experience?

    The area of hearing ability that typically deteriorates first is the perception of high pitched tones. The adaptation processes of the ear to the hearing situation also become less effective and with it, the accuracy of hearing. For example, music sounds blurred and less brilliant, and details of voice conversations are lost.Mimi Sound Personalization compensates for this less-than-perfect hearing and adapts your TV's audio to your hearing ability. Instruments become more distinguishable and dialogue clearer, for a better and more enjoyable sound experience. You will also hear more details at a lower volume, thereby protecting against over-exposure to noise that can affect long term hearing health. For spoken content, Mimi caters specifically for frequencies found in the speech range, optimizing the TV’s audio to deliver the maximum information to the brain for increased understanding. This results in increased speech clarity and improved intelligibility.

  • Do I have to retake the test every time I use my TV?

    You do not have to take the test every time you use the TV but it is advised to retake the test on longer intervals where individual hearing abilities may change.

  • Can I use the same hearing profile if I get a new television?

    Yes, you can use the same hearing profile on your new TV. The Mimi Hearing Test app allows you to transfer your profile and to the new device using the "Push Profile via QR Code" feature or by signing in to your Mimi account on the TV.
