Hearing Aids Learn How You Like to Listen

Hearing instrument users can teach their devices how they like to listen in different environments. The user can teach the hearing aids preferred gain, compression, and frequency shape for various acoustic environments using simple volume control adjustments. Empowered by a sophisticated learning algorithm, the hearing instrument continuously monitors the personal modifications made by an individual in different listening environments. The hearing aid wearer is able to teach the hearing aid personal listening preferences in up to six different acoustic environments including:

  1. Quiet
  2. Car
  3. Music
  4. Noise
  5. Speech in Noise
  6. Speech in Quiet
Not all hearing aids have this programming feature so be sure to work with your audiologist to choose the right devices for your particular hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget!
