What’s the Difference Between Severe Hearing Loss, Profound Hearing Loss, and Deafness?
Many people use the word “deafness” for any kind of hearing loss. But medically, there’s a fundamental difference, and it helps determine which type of hearing aid you need:
Why Consider the Beltone Boost SP for Profound Hearing Loss?
The key specifications of the Beltone Boost SP (2cc coupler):
- Maximum Output (Max OSPL90): 141 dB SPL
- Maximum Output (HFA OSPL90): 130 dB SPL
- Full-On Gain (Max): 83 dB
- Reference Test Gain (HFA): 53 dB
- Frequency Range: ≤200 Hz to 5,200 Hz, covering most of the key speech frequencies
These aren't just technical numbers. They describe how much amplification is available for people with profound hearing loss. Your audiogram determines how much of it you actually need.
Why a Replaceable Battery Instead of a Rechargeable One?
- Powerful hearing aids draw more current: the Boost SP's current drain is 1.3 mA at rest and 3.3 mA in operation
- The size 675 battery is designed for this level of power consumption, and your audiologist can estimate how long it will last for your settings
- Among zinc-air hearing aid battery sizes, size 675 has the largest capacity
- You can swap it yourself in seconds, with no charger needed
Amplification Strategy (WDRC / Semi-Linear / Linear) — three different ways of processing sound, with your audiologist choosing the one that suits your degree of hearing loss and your hearing history.
The Beltone Boost SP has a built-in telecoil that can pick up the signal from magnetic induction loops in venues equipped with them. For someone with profound hearing loss, this can make a real difference in public places where background noise or distance makes speech hard to follow.
The Three Levels of the Beltone Boost SP: Which Level Suits Which Case?
The Beltone Boost SP is available in three technology levels, all with the same high-power amplification (up to 141 dB SPL, 2cc coupler), size 675 battery, and IP68 protection. The difference lies in the depth of the sound-processing technology:

Speech Clarity Technologies in the Beltone Boost SP Hearing Aid
The biggest challenge for people with profound hearing loss isn’t just hearing sound, but understanding speech in noise. The Beltone Boost SP addresses this with an integrated set of technologies:
Wireless Connectivity in the Beltone Boost SP Hearing Aid
Although the Beltone Boost SP is designed for profound hearing loss, it still offers modern wireless connectivity:
- Stream iPhone and Android calls directly to your hearing aid
- Stream music, Quran recitation, and podcasts
- Stream audio from calls on apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, and Zoom
- TV Link 2: Streams TV audio directly, so there's no need to turn up the TV volume
- Remote Control: Direct manual control without a phone, for those who prefer it
The built-in telecoil can pick up the signal from hearing (induction) loops in venues equipped with them, such as:
- Mosques and prayer halls with an induction loop installed
- Airports, hospitals, and public service counters with induction loops
- Theaters and conference halls equipped with loop systems
Ask your audiologist how to switch to the telecoil program, and look for the induction loop symbol (an ear with a "T") where available.
- Adjust sound and programs from your phone
- Switch between programs (quiet / crowded / TV / phone)
- Remote Fine Tuning with an iHear audiologist
Tinnitus Relief for Profound Hearing Loss
Profound hearing loss is often accompanied by persistent, bothersome tinnitus, and one commonly proposed explanation is that the brain generates internal signals to compensate for the loss of outside sound.
The Beltone Boost SP includes Tinnitus Breaker Pro technology in all three levels, which generates customizable therapeutic sounds to help the brain gradually tune out the tinnitus signal and ease the distress that comes with it.
Beltone Boost SP Hearing Aid vs. Cochlear Implant: Which Is Right for Profound Hearing Loss?
This is a question many people with profound hearing loss ask, and here is an honest answer:
Trying a power hearing aid such as the Beltone Boost SP is often a sensible first step. At the same time, you don’t have to wait: if you have profound hearing loss, your audiologist or ENT doctor can refer you for a cochlear implant assessment in parallel.

Who Needs the Beltone Boost SP Hearing Aid?
Is the Beltone Boost SP Suitable for Seniors With Profound Hearing Loss?
If your father or grandfather often says "I hear you, but I can't understand," or "everyone mumbles," these are common signs of hearing loss. A hearing test is the first step, and it will show how much loss there is and whether a power hearing aid such as the Beltone Boost SP is worth considering.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Beltone Boost SP Hearing Aid
The price varies by the technology level you choose (Boost SP 4 / 3 / 2). Contact iHear on WhatsApp for a personalized quote. The hearing test and a demo-device trial are free.
Total deafness, where no usable hearing remains, is something no hearing aid can compensate for. For profound hearing loss where some hearing remains, a power hearing aid such as the Beltone Boost SP may help. Your audiologist will test how much benefit you get, and if hearing aids aren't enough, your audiologist or ENT doctor can refer you for a cochlear implant assessment.
Powerful hearing aids draw more current. The Boost SP's current drain is 1.3 mA at rest and 3.3 mA in operation, and it is designed around a size 675 zinc-air battery, the largest-capacity zinc-air size. Some people prefer a replaceable battery to a rechargeable one, for example because they don't want to depend on daily charging. If you'd rather have a rechargeable battery, the Beltone Boost Max S offers similar power with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Based on the current drain data (1.3 mA at rest / 3.3 mA in operation), a size 675 battery typically lasts several days, depending on your daily hours of use and amplification level. It lasts longer than the smaller battery sizes used in other hearing aids.
It can be, depending on your child's hearing assessment. Hearing aids for children are always chosen and programmed by a pediatric audiologist based on the child's hearing test results, and for profound hearing loss, a cochlear implant assessment is often considered alongside. Early support is linked to better speech and language development, so if you suspect hearing loss in your child, book a hearing assessment as soon as possible. At iHear, we can arrange the assessment and explain the options, including battery safety features for young children.
Feedback whistling can happen with any powerful hearing aid, but the Beltone Boost SP includes Feedback Eraser 2 in all three levels, which is designed to detect and reduce feedback automatically. A well-fitted earmold also makes a big difference, and your audiologist will check the fit and adjust it if you notice whistling.
It works in mosques and other venues equipped with induction (hearing) loops. A mosque needs to have a loop installed and switched on for the telecoil to pick it up. Ask the mosque or venue whether one is available, and your audiologist can show you how to switch to the telecoil program.
A brain that has lived in silence for a long time needs weeks to relearn how to process sound. At iHear, we start with a lower amplification level than the maximum and raise it gradually over 4–8 weeks. Our team follows up with you at every step.
Some UAE health insurance providers offer partial coverage, depending on your policy and insurer. Contact iHear and we'll help you check your coverage before you buy.
The Beltone Boost SP is an external device that doesn't require surgery, and it is often the first step. A cochlear implant is considered when even powerful hearing aids don't provide enough benefit, and your audiologist or ENT doctor can refer you for an assessment. Some people use both, with a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other (bimodal hearing).
A major challenge for many people with profound hearing loss isn't just hearing sound, but understanding speech in noise. The Beltone Boost SP addresses this with a set of speech-clarity technologies:
CrossLink Directionality 2 (Boost SP 4 only)
The two hearing aids exchange sound data wirelessly and analyze it together, helping focus on the speaker in front of you and soften sounds from the sides. This works when you wear two hearing aids.
Smart Beam Steering (Boost SP 4 and 3)
Narrows the sound pickup toward the front, to help you focus on the person you're talking to.
Personal Sound ID (Boost SP 4)
Gradually learns how you adjust the sound and builds a personal model of your preferences, so it becomes better tailored to you over time.
Speech Spotter Basic (all three levels)
Identifies human speech within background noise and brings it forward, even in the entry-level Boost SP 2.
Smart Gain (Boost SP 4)
Detects the sound environment and adjusts settings automatically as you move between quiet rooms, meetings, and the outdoors.
Fixed Directionality (all three levels)
A fixed directional microphone setting that favors sound from in front of you, for when you need to focus on a speaker facing you.
Sound Shifter (all three levels)
Shifts high-frequency sounds that are hard for you to hear, such as "s," "sh," and "f," into frequencies you can hear more easily, to help with understanding speech.
Low Frequency Boost (Boost SP 4 and 3)
Boosts low frequencies to help sound feel fuller and more natural.
| Specification (2cc coupler) | Value |

What does 4.2% THD at 500 Hz mean? Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures how much unwanted distortion a hearing aid adds to sound: the lower the percentage, the cleaner the sound. The Boost SP measures 4.2% at 500 Hz and between 0.2% and 0.7% from 800 Hz to 3,200 Hz (2cc coupler). Your audiologist can explain what this means for your listening needs.
The Beltone Boost SP supports three different amplification strategies, which your audiologist can choose between based on your audiogram:
1. WDRC: Wide Dynamic Range Compression (the most commonly used)
Amplifies soft sounds more than loud ones:
- Helps you hear a whisper clearly without being startled by a door closing
- Often used when the range between soft and uncomfortably loud sounds is narrow
- Tends to feel more natural for everyday listening
2. Semi-Linear
Nearly uniform amplification, with less compression between soft and loud sounds:
- For cases that call for more uniform power across sound levels
- Some people who are used to older linear hearing aids prefer it
3. Linear
Constant, uniform amplification at all levels:
- Used in specific cases, on your audiologist's recommendation
An iHear audiologist chooses the most suitable strategy after your audiogram. It isn't the same strategy for every patient.
