Modification of Program Settings
The front end processing features have been designed specifically to remove
unwanted extraneous or background noise. These features have default values that
are a starting point for hearing care professionals to use in the fitting process. If you
think that you would benefit from changing your program settings from the current
settings, you should contact your hearing care professional’s oce and request the
option to have additional settings to use in your real-world environment. The hearing
care professional can create additional programs with dierent settings. These new
programs are then accessible to you via multifunction button or mobile app.
When set to the strongest settings, the processing features in your sound process
may impact speech understanding. You and your hearing care professional should
evaluate sound quality and speech understanding any time adjustments are made to
your listening programs.
