4.2 Adaptive Audio Enhancement
The core feature of the EarBoost EB1 is its adaptive audio enhancement, managed through the companion app:
- Hearing Test: Open the MEE audio app and follow the on-screen instructions to perform a hearing test. This test measures your hearing sensitivity across various frequencies.
- Profile Creation: Based on your hearing test results, the app generates a personalized audio profile. This profile is then uploaded to the EarBoost EB1 earphones.
