This allows for more precise custom programming, and also diminishes the need to come in for adjustments.
- Superior Speech Enhancement Technology ¬ Noise reduction, adaptive directionality and the latest speech enhancement software make these instruments the most intelligent available.
- Whistle Block ¬ A new benchmark feedback cancellation; no more annoying whistle.
- Less Backgound Noise ¬ your hearing instruments extracts speech out of background noise and the system selectively amplifies the sounds you want to hear and eliminates the ones that are disturbing.
- Bluetooth Supported ¬ Some premium hearing instruments support bluetooth connectivity to mobile phones, mp3 players and other electronic devices. This connectivity usually requires the purchase of additional devices to provide a link between the electronic device and the hearing instrument.
