Description
Advantages
Intelligent Scene Detect
This feature allows user to analyze the external acoustic environment and activate a program most suitable for the current situation. The settings are customized for each listening environment based on personal preferences and are enabled automatically as the user moves from one environment to another.

SpeechRay Control
Allows user to isolate speech in a difficult acoustic environments due to directional microphones and a multi-acoustic hearing aid fitting depending on the external environment to the optimal signal-to-noise ratio.
SpeechRay Control adapts hearing aid settings and suppresses external noise. This significantly improves speech intelligibility.
Smart Focus Control
Smart Focus Control technology allows to analyze the acoustic environment and connects a second microphone for directional recognition of the speech signal if necessary. Directional mode adjusts the microphones to maximize speech recognition in noisy environments. Switching is smooth for ensure maximum user comfort.
User perceives speech better without having to switch memories manually. Switching between microphone modes is fully automatic providing natural sound without any actions from the user.
Individual Noise Blocking
The unique Individual Noise Blocking algorithm analyzes and recognizes non-speech sounds and automatically adapts to reduce their volume, thereby providing noise suppression and maintaining a good level of audibility.
Noise reduction provides the user with the ability to clearly recognize speech in a noisy environment and significantly improve speech understanding.
Smart Feedback Minimization
Smart Feedback Reduction technology allows automatic adaptation to speech signals, eliminating feedback sounds. Accurate detection and reduction of feedback means higher levels of speech intelligibility and sound quality without annoying whistling.
Feedback suppression technology allows you to get great sound without feedback and sound distortion in any situation.
Wind Active Blocking
Active Wind Blocking uses an adaptive algorithm to automatically suppress only wind noise. Enhancing speech signals allows users to spend time outdoors effectively. If there is no wind this feature is automatically turned off.
Users will not miss an important conversation even in windy weather. This feature is especially useful for people who actively engage in sports and exercise outdoors.
Impulse Active Blocking
This feature instantly identifies impulse noise and reduces the peak signal gain level without affecting the unit's maximum audio output level.
Active Impulse Blocking softens unpleasant harsh sounds without affecting speech intelligibility or distorting the perception of other sounds.
AutoPhone
If the AutoPhone function is activated, the device switches to the program for talking on the phone automatically when you bring the phone to it. If the phone is removed from the hearing aid it will switch to the previous memory.
In AutoPhone mode, the hearing aid's telecoil picks up an electromagnetic signal from the telephone, which is converted into an audio signal. This allows user to perceive sound from the handset much better and eliminate the influence of extraneous noise on speech perception.
T-Coil Connect
Hearing aid owners often experience discomfort in crowded places. This is due to indistinct sounds and a multitude of additional noises. Induction systems that transmit sound from a microphone directly to hearing aids help provide opportunities for communication and receiving information. The signal is transmitted remotely, and the hearing aid must be switched to the telecoil mode ("T" or "T/M" memory).
Most public buildings like airports, educational institutions, or subway, are equipped with induction systems that allow the sounds to be transmitted directly to hearing aids. A hearing-impaired person, having switched their hearing aid to the T mode and being within the induction field, would hear the information much better since the signal is not distorted by noise and reverberation.
Tinnitus Sound Help
Tinnitus Sound Help generates broadband noise for tinnitus therapy. It works in both white noise and ocean noise modes.
Provides relief to patients with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) by providing signals for both therapy and relaxation.
Smart Acclimatization
To best adapt to wearing a hearing aid, this feature automatically increases the sound gain level based on how long the user wears their hearing aid continuously. The initial level, gain rate, target gain level and time can be changed.
Adaptation of new users to wearing a hearing aid is now much easier and more comfortable.
Smart Soundscape Corrector
Frequency compression is designed for users with profound high-frequency hearing loss. This feature shifts high-frequency sound signals to the low-frequency range, making them audible to hearing aid users.
Severe hearing loss or high-frequency deafness prevents a number of sounds from being heard, making speech perception much more difficult. The method of shifting these sounds to lower frequencies allows users to significantly improve speech recognition.
