What is a Quiet Sound Amplifier®?

• Etymotic’s Quiet Sound Amplifier (QSA®), which we call the BEAN, is a personal sound amplifier available without medical referral or prescription.  It automatically enhances soft sounds. Loud sounds pass through naturally as if nothing is in the ears.
• The QSA BEAN has high-frequency emphasis only for soft sounds, so the faint sounds of speech can be heard more clearly– especially if the talker is farther away than desirable or speaks very softly. A common example is someone asking a question from another room. Soft speech can be heard more easily in a house of worship, classroom, courtroom, lecture hall, theatre, or from TV.  For many users, the BEAN is like reading glasses: it is used only part of the time.
• The QSA BEAN provides the highest fidelity sound amplification available at any cost. The sound quality of the BEAN is superior to that of all known custom-fitted devices.
• The BEAN is not digital; it uses the most sophisticated analog processing ever devised, which explains its natural sound and low battery drain. Batteries last 2-5X longer than those in digital devices.
