Listening in Windy Environments
Yuu’s wind noise manager will engage automatically
based on whether wind conditions are moderate or high.
When the wind noise manager is engaged, sounds such
as speech may become quieter because the wind noise
manager is working to reduce the loud noise produced
by the wind. When you are no longer in a windy
environment, the wind noise manager will not be active
and desirable sounds, such as speech, will once again
become louder.
Listening in Quiet and Noisy Environments
Your Yuu hearing instruments may have a directional
microphone system to meet your listening needs in
different environments. The directional system focuses
on sounds in front of you (i.e., speech) while reducing
sounds from the sides or behind you (i.e., noise). The
directional system can be set to track moving noise
sources and adapt to changing noise levels so that
background noise is reduced. Your hearing healthcare
professional can tell you how your directional system
has been customized for you and which listening
programs have the directional microphones activated.
In addition, Yuu contains antiShock

is designed to increase listening comfort in adverse
