The complete family of hearing aids also introduces a brand-new miniature RIE to comfortably and discreetly help patients hear through the noise with the innovative benefits from the popular Beltone Achieve

GLENVIEW, Ill., Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Beltone, named America’s #1 Hearing Care Retailer & Best in Customer Service by Newsweek, has announced the expansion of its CES® Innovation Award winning Beltone Achieve™ hearing aid portfolio to include four additional style options for providers and patients to choose from, including the brand new miniRIE style.

Beltone Achieve™ hearing aids are Beltone’s best yet at helping patients hear through the noise 

Beltone Achieve hearing aids are Beltone’s best yet at helping patients hear through the noise which is the top motivation for those with hearing loss to purchase hearing aids, but also the number one challenge for those who already wear them.1 By providing 150% better speech clarity in noise compared to previous technology, 2 Beltone Achieve helps them be part of the conversation, even in loud environments like packed restaurants, busy stores, or events. It also helps them to hear when something or someone is approaching from out of sight, such as a car or person so they never miss a moment.

“We’re very proud of the improvement of speech understanding in noise that Beltone Achieve provides and are thrilled to have additional styles utilizing this innovative technology for our Beltone hearing care professionals to offer to patients,” says Beltone President, David Molella.

Featuring the advanced hearing technology from the original Beltone Achieve RIE released last year, the hearing aid family expands with the new Beltone Achieve miniRIE as well as Beltone Achieve Custom Rechargeable, Beltone Achieve CIC, and Beltone Achieve BTE hearing aids to help those with hearing loss experience more of life, even in noisy situations, with the style best suited for them.

Along with providing all-day comfort and all-day battery life*, Beltone Achieve hearing aids are weatherproof and sweatproof and available in a diverse range of colors so users can confidently focus on doing more of what they love. Plus, with hands-free calls** and streaming from a smartphone or tablet, Beltone Achieve hearing aids are always ready to take on the day.

Additional Beltone Achieve styles:

NEW miniRIE – These miniature receiver-in-ear hearing aids are Beltone’s smallest rechargeable style with a gently curved shape that rests low on the ear for a more discreet fit without compromising on sound or comfort.

Custom Rechargeable – These hearing aids are designed to look like modern earbuds and offer a custom, comfortable fit, high-quality sound, and rechargeable batteries.

Completely-in-Canal (CIC) – These simple custom designed hearing aids are so small it’s unlikely anyone will realize users are wearing them, and as they sit inside the ear canal, they’re protected from wind noise.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) – These user-friendly hearing aids are small, powerful, rechargeable, and can be matched to the user’s hair and complexion to maximize discreetness.

The original Beltone Achieve Receiver-in-Ear (RIE) hearing aids were released last August and have been receiving rave reviews from patients, providers, and in the media having won a CES® 2023 Innovation Award. Patient Greg Kupar shared his life-changing experience wearing Beltone Achieve hearing aids saying he’s able to continue working his job as a swim coach “Now with these marvelous hearing aids…my life is back! I am still walking around with a huge grin on my face and can now hear things I’ve been missing for decades!”

The new Beltone Achieve hearing aid models are planned for Regulatory clearance and will be rolled out globally starting with the US on February 23, 2023. To schedule a free hearing screening and to learn more, contact your local Beltone www.beltone.com/en-us/locator.

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.

Product Reliability: The T5 Pro’s low-current technology ensures precise temperature control, with hotspot temperatures up to 45°C lower than conventional modules. This reduces the risk of fire hazards and improves overall module longevity. The module has also passed rigorous reliability tests, making it ideal for diverse applications, including commercial rooftops and ground-mounted power stations.

Customer Value: By enhancing energy generation and reducing project lifecycle costs, the T5 Pro provides a high return on investment for both residential and commercial solar applications.

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module: Optimized for C&I Rooftops

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module addresses the specific challenges faced by commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftops, particularly in areas with limited load-bearing capacity.

Improved Power Output: Weighing only 5.4 kg/m², these modules generate 3-6% more power compared to traditional TOPCon modules, offering a highly efficient solution for weight-sensitive environments.

Superior Heat Dissipation: The ultra-thin glass design enhances heat dissipation, lowers operating temperatures and reduces overall weight and making the modules ideal for aging rooftops or structures with limited structural integrity.

Building on the momentum at Solar Pakistan 2026, TCL SOLAR and TAIMOOR TRADING CO. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking a key step in advancing solar energy solutions. This partnership aims to expand clean power access and drive sustainable development across Pakistan and beyond, with a shared focus on innovation and a low-carbon future.

Focusing on innovation, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact, TCL Solar continues to lead the way in solar technology in Pakistan and across the region, providing solutions that meet today’s energy needs while enabling measurable emissions reductions across the energy value chain.

As Pakistan embraces renewable energy, TCL Solar’s cutting-edge technologies will help drive the growth of low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.
