Reconnect with your environment and overcome the barriers of hearing loss with the SuperEar SE5000. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this industrial-grade personal sound amplifier is designed for NDIS participants with mild to moderate hearing impairment who require immediate, powerful audio enhancement without the complexity or cost of prescription hearing aids.

An evolution of the classic SE4000, the SE5000 features a re-engineered form factor with an integrated compact microphone, eliminating external bulk while delivering a substantial 50-decibel gain. Whether used for one-on-one conversations with support workers, medical appointments, or watching television at a reasonable volume, this device clarifies ambient sound and speech. Its robust, solid-state circuitry ensures reliability, while the simplified tactile controls make it an accessible choice for seniors or individuals with reduced fine motor skills who struggle with tiny digital hearing aids.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

  • Social Inclusion: By amplifying speech frequencies by up to 50dB, the device reduces the isolation often caused by hearing loss, allowing participants to engage meaningfully in conversations and social activities.

  • Accessibility & Dexterity: Unlike tiny prescription aids with fiddly batteries, the SE5000 uses a large tactile volume wheel and standard AAA batteries, making it accessible for users with arthritis or tremors.

  • Cognitive Support: Hearing loss imposes a heavy "cognitive load" as the brain struggles to interpret muffled sounds. Amplification reduces this strain, allowing the participant to focus on the content of the conversation rather than the effort of hearing.

  • Safety Awareness: Increases the audibility of environmental cues, such as doorbells, alarms, or approaching traffic, enhancing personal safety in the home and community.

Key Features & Benefits

  • High-Gain Amplification: Delivers a 50dB boost to ambient sound (max output 107dB), providing clarity for soft speech or distant sounds like a television.

  • Integrated Microphone System: The newly designed internal microphone eliminates protruding parts, making the unit sleek, compact, and easy to clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket.

  • Versatile Listening Options: Includes both premium stereo headphones (for maximum isolation and stability) and discreet dual earbuds, allowing the user to choose the most comfortable option for their sensory needs.

  • Simple Tactile Operation: Features a straightforward on/off/volume wheel that is easy to locate and adjust by touch alone, ideal for users with low vision.

  • Cost-Effective Power: Powered by a single standard AAA battery (included) which provides approximately 30 hours of operation, avoiding the need for expensive specialised batteries.

Enhancing Communication: Enabling the participant to hear and respond to carers, medical professionals, and family members.

Improving Accessibility: Providing a hearing solution that does not require the fine motor skills needed for standard hearing aids.
