Additional technical information Compression (settings 1 and 3) Deterioration of the ability to hear quiet sounds as well as loud ones is a typical symptom of old age. Compression compensates for these volume differences by boosting the volume of quiet sounds and reducing the volume of loud sounds if necessary. Compression seems to put the speech in the foreground, making it easier to understand. Compression is self-regulating; once it has been activated, it is not necessary to make any other settings.
Additional technical information Changing the operating mode The transmitter can be set to a different operating mode. This is useful when the sound of your sound source is very low and the transmitter therefore does not always switch on automatically. 왘 Press the “speech intelligibility” button 9 for approx. 5 seconds. 0 9 The indicator 0 goes off.
