meter while you speak. If the meter works
normally when you speak, and the
environment is quiet, turn up the
microphone sensitivity. Otherwise, ask the
other speaker to talk more loudly.
• If the meter consistently displays more than
eight segments, try to locate and remove
sources of background noise. Try turning the
microphone sensitivity down so that the
segment meter displays between five and
eight segments.
3. After adjusting the sensitivity, you may need to
adjust the volume, if enabled. If loud sounds
are uncomfortably loud, turn down the volume.
If speech, including your own voice, is too soft,
try turning up the volume.
If you still have a problem after trying these
solutions, you and the speaker may need to move
to a quiet room. Sometimes individual room
acoustics and background noise cause problems
that cannot be resolved.
In addition, other factors not related to the
performance of the speech processor may influence
your ability to understand speech in a particular
situation. For example:
• interference from tinnitus (head noises)
• loss of concentration due to illness or fatigue
