CHICAGO – February 3, 2026 – Beltone, one of America’s top-rated hearing care providers, announced the expansion of its Beltone Commence™ essential hearing aid line, featuring new custom styles for individuals with hearing loss. Beltone Commence hearing aids combine their best-in-class technology, updated designs, and future-proof connectivity, bringing a powerful hearing solution for all to enjoy.
With Beltone Commence, users can hear more clearly in challenging listening situations, such as at busy restaurants, and join conversations with confidence. These devices feature innovative technology that adapts to the user’s environment while providing greater speech understanding in noise. This ensures users can effortlessly host family gatherings, revisit favorite hobbies, and enjoy lively nights out without worrying about their hearing.
The latest Beltone Commence styles include new custom Completely-in-Canal (CIC) and In-the-Canal (ITC) designs, a popular choice among hearing aid users. The new CIC style provides a sleek and comfortable hearing experience with a barely-there, custom design of Beltone’s smallest hearing aid, making it look as if the user isn’t wearing anything at all. The ITC hearing aid style provides seamless wireless connectivity with Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Audio and is the first essential wireless ITC to feature Auracast™ broadcast audio.
