Advanced settings
Balance control
Compensates for example for hearing loss in
one ear. 5 dB / step.
Basic attenuation
Limits the maximum output level Useful for
e.g. a child. 3 dB / step.
Tone control blocking
Makes it easier for some end users to handle
the personal amplier.
Tone control preset
Select preset tone.
Used together with Tone control blocking.
Disable T-coil
Makes it easier for some end users to handle
the personal amplier.
Noise cancellation
Noise cancellation operates in frequency-domain
and uses ten channels to continuously analyse and
attenuate stationary noise. The noise cancellation
dynamically adjusts the gain for each frequency
band to give an optimal dynamic range, thus sup-
pressing noise without aecting speech or other in-
teresting information. Noise is suppressed with 5 dB
without sacricing resolution or introducing sound
artefacts, which increases the listening comfort.
Dynamic range compression
The dynamic range compressor operates in the
frequency-domain and is implemented as 10
channels, logarithmically. Each channel has indi-
vidual attack/decay, expansion, compression and
saturation distance parameters, which have been
trimmed to reduce microphone noise, emphasise
speech or other interesting information and still
oer a natural sound.
Feedback manager
The adaptive feedback manager is especially
designed for use in sound environments where the
listening conditions changes. It is is automatically
activated when the internal microphone is selected
and will quickly adapt, for example, if a user moves
or the position of the headphones are changed
relative the internal microphone. It continuously
analyses the input signal to detect feedback and
eliminates it by changing the phase and amplitude
of the output signal. This normally occurs even be-
fore the user experiences a buildup of feedback.
Battery level supervision
The supervision of the battery voltage level is conti-
nuously operating in the background, making a mea-
surement every 10th second. The result is presented
on the Low Battery indicator. The battery supervision
indicates a Battery Low condition when the esti-
mated remaining battery time is around 10 hours.
