Experience the latest in consumer audio innovation and meet Mimi at IFA 2022
BERLIN, GER., September 2, 2022— Mimi Hearing Technologies, the global leader in hearing wellbeing, will demonstrate its latest sound personalization technologies and discuss future innovations to improve audio experiences and protect hearing at IFA 2022, Europe’s biggest consumer electronics show.
Mimi’s Sound Personalization technology allows listeners to create customized audio experiences, tailored to the individual’s unique hearing profile, by first assessing the listener’s hearing ability with Mimi’s app-based Hearing Test Technology. After the test, a Hearing ID is created and the patented audio processing automatically adapts all audio in real-time. Once completed, the listener’s Hearing ID can be used on Mimi-enabled televisions, headphones and earbuds, adjusting the sound to the user’s unique hearing profile wherever they listen. Mimi’s hearing technology is embedded in a range of products from some of the world’s leading consumer electronics manufacturers.
“Mimi Hearing Technologies brings together hearing wellbeing and an improved audio experience for customers on their favorite devices,” said Philipp Skribanowitz, CEO of Mimi. “Allowing users to adapt an audio signal to their hearing ability creates a richer and more immersive sound experience. Audio details and dialogue are brought back that may have been lost and consumers can adjust the audio, not the volume. People can now relax and have a more enjoyable listening experience with no fatigue.”
Mimi recently released its new fine-tuning sound personalization feature in the Mimi SDK. Now, OEM and consumer audio manufacturers can enable users to fine-tune their personalized audio experience after completing the hearing test. When Mimi Sound Personalization is turned on, users are presented with fine-tuning options on their profile card. The default “recommended” option is applied as the best fit to their individual Hearing ID, but based on their personal preference listeners may select one of the additional options of “Richer” or “Softer”. By playing a sample song, users are able to compare the original audio with different Mimi effects (recommended, richer, or softer) and choose the sound experience they enjoy the most without having to leave the app.
Mimi Sound Personalization is integrated in the following products:
- TP Vision Philips has integrated Mimi Sound Personalization in a variety of 2021 and 2022 TV models
- beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless, Aventho Wireless, Blue BYRD (2nd Gen), Free BYRD, Xelento, and Lagoon ANC Traveller wireless headphones can be connected to beyerdynamic’s innovative MIY app. The “MOSAYC – Attention to Detail with Mimi Sound Personalization” elevates the sound of these products to the next level. After users take a two-minute hearing test the sound and settings of the headphones can be personalized with the app and completely adapted to the user’s unique hearing ability.
- Skullcandy’s Grind Fuel Earbuds offers premium features like Skull-iQ Smart Feature Technology that allow hands-free voice control and Personal Sound powered by Mimi, for a customizable audio experience.
