Audacious, an new MVNO has launched a special mobile service with clearer calls and with an enhanced audio experience using BT’s EE network for those with hearing loss.
The new service is expected to assist the 10 million people in the UK who have hearing loss. Audacious is a first of its kind mobile service which provides a personalised service to customers with a range of hearing needs. Audacious was developed in the UK in partnership with experts in audiology, data processing and telecoms.
The new offering is underpinned by BT’s EE mobile network which provides the underlying mobile infrastructure for Audacious’ voice and 4G data services, as well as international roaming and wholesale billing.
The Audacious mobile service works in exactly the same way as a current mobile service with minutes and data, but makes calls clearer too. Contracts will be rolling on a flexible monthly basis, which allow users the freedom to leave at any time.
Customers can take a commitment free sound check on the Audacious website to receive their personal hearing profile. They can then order a personalised SIM card tailored to the individual way they hear. There’s no need for customers to replace their mobile phone; to start experiencing clearer calls they simply replace their existing SIM card with their personalised Audacious one.
