The Bernafon Encanta 100 MNR T R in review
Are you curious about this hearing aid from Bernafon? Let's see what we have found out. The Encanta 100 MNR T R was developed for almost every hearing need and is worn behind the ear. It is a small, barely noticeable hearing aid at a reasonable price from the upper mid-range.
Due to the discreet and simultaneously intelligent placement of the speaker in the ear canal, we achieve a good, clean sound.
Hearing comfort
One of our favorite chapters is hearing comfort, as it addresses one of the most important topics in our conversations with customers: background noise. Ideally, everyone would like to hear only speech and block out all other sounds. However, it's not that simple. Without noise, our lives would sound very thin and empty. That's why hearing aids are designed to keep sounds in check but not eliminate them completely.
With the Encanta 100 MNR T R, the manufacturer provides customers with comprehensive noise management. The mandatory noise suppression should respond to anything that hums along evenly, like heating systems or range hoods. This device features a fairly simple type of noise suppression that should be sufficient for normal environments.
Bernafon is likely to impress all outdoor enthusiasts with this device, as wind noise is not only pleasantly dampened, but speech understanding should continue to function effortlessly. Impulse sound suppression is a very important element in the comfort features of a hearing aid, as it dampens banging and clattering noises. In the Encanta 100 MNR T R, this dampening occurs in multiple stages, definitely earning some extra points. Spatial hearing with the Encanta 100 MNR T R requires a bit of practice. However, the adaptive microphone system provides good support in social settings. While a few more frequency channels would be desirable, the existing 14 channels are already quite manageable.
One component in the signal processing of the Encanta 100 MNR T R is artificial intelligence. The impact is positive, as many customers find conversations in noisy situations significantly more relaxed.
Rating Hearing comfort: 2,7
Operation & connectivity
Occasionally, one finds themselves in situations where it would be beneficial if the hearing aid were set differently. After all, we live in hectic times where the acoustic environment often changes. Most hearing aids have specific options for influencing the settings themselves. This is how it works with the Encanta 100 MNR T R: There is a button directly on the hearing aid. With this, you can adjust the volume or activate additional hearing programs. It can be programmed according to customer preferences. The usage is, of course, optional. A discreet way to change the hearing aid is the remote control. It fits in any pocket. If the person opposite speaks too softly again, one or two clicks are enough to adjust the volume. Additional hearing programs for listening to music or driving can also be activated with the remote control.
In the test, we found no option for voice control. This function is not necessarily required but would have pleased us nonetheless. Besides buttons or remote controls, some hearing aids also feature tap control. This means you can simply tap your ear briefly, and the device will switch. However, we do not have this feature here at Bernafon; specific sensors would have been needed for that.
As expected, we find a suitable application for smartphones. Here we are dealing with a powerful app that trusts its user and provides an extensive toolbox. You no longer need headphones, as it has a wireless option and can directly transmit sounds from the smartphone to the ears—if the smartphone is equipped with 2.4 GHz LE technology.

Simplicity & security
No matter how great the hearing aid sounds: nothing is more uncomfortable than a product that constantly presents hurdles in everyday life. Therefore, simplicity and safety are extremely important themes in our hearing aid tests: The Encanta 100 MNR T R performs very well in situational recognition. Those who want a comprehensive and powerful full automation in their hearing aid and wish to adjust it as little as possible will be well served here. The adaptive algorithms untangle the individual sound events in the environment and present the soundscape clearly and precisely. The integrated acclimatization manager can be of great assistance when entering the world of hearing aids. Its job is to gradually raise the volume of the hearing aid in tiny steps until the target volume is reached. This allows you to relax and gradually get used to the new hearing impressions. More information on acclimatization and other hearing aids with this feature can be found here: Getting Used to Hearing Aids.
The Encanta 100 MNR T R features a rechargeable battery. We think this is great because rechargeable hearing aids are absolutely up to date. You don't have to have batteries lying around everywhere, nor do you have to change the battery in the middle of a concert. The hearing aid is simply placed in the charging station overnight and has enough energy for the following day.
With an IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand various adverse influences. Dust cannot penetrate, it can withstand being submerged in water for longer periods, and it is also protected against contact.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,0

Extras
Before we reach the end, let's take a look at the extras: One feature worth mentioning is the tinnitus program. Those who suffer from bothersome ear noises will benefit from it. Pleasant, soft sounds are tuned to gently surround the tinnitus. In the end, the tinnitus fades into the background noise and becomes hardly noticeable.
A real added value is the remote support service. To change the hearing aid settings, there is no longer a need to go to the specialist shop; instead, you can contact the audiologist directly through the app. Via a cloud service, the new data package can then be uploaded to the hearing aids. This is exactly what we expect from a modern hearing aid.
This Encanta 100 variant does not have sensors, so the popular health tracking feature is not available. For instance, daily steps would be counted. As mentioned - this hearing aid does not have that function on board. Digital algorithms and suitable apps increasingly allow the integration of lifestyle functions that support your everyday life. We are impressed by what hearing aids like this one from Bernafon can do today. You should definitely give it a try!
