| Field Name | Description | Details |
| Voice iQ²/Voice iQ/Noise | Indicates the desired amount of adaptation in environments with noise for the specific memory or all memories if linked. This feature is not available for Telecoil or Autocoil memories. | Based on the hearing aid connected determines the levels available. If levels 0 to 4 display, the default is 3. If levels 0 to 2 display, the default is 2. If levels Off/On display, the default is On. The amount of adaptation that each level will apply displays in a tool tip by pointing to the radio button. |
| Quiet | Indicates the desired amount of adaptation in quiet environments for the specific memory or all memories if linked. | Based on the hearing aid connected determines the levels available. If levels 0 to 4 display, the default is 3. If levels 0 to 2 display, the default is 2. If levels Off/On display, the default is On. The amount of expansion that each level will apply displays in a tool tip by pointing to the radio button. |
| Wind | Indicates the desired amount of adaptation in environments with wind for the specific memory or all memories if linked. This feature is not available for Telecoil or Autocoil memories. | Based on the hearing aid connected determines the levels available. If levels 0 to 4 display, the default is 3. If levels 0 to 2 display, the default is 2. If levels Off/On display, the default is On. The amount of adaptation that each level will apply displays in a tool tip by pointing to the radio button. |
| Machine Noise | Indicates the desired amount of adaptation in environments with machine noise for the specific memory or all memories if linked. This feature is not available for Telecoil or Autocoil memories. | This environment is available on all the wired and wireless products listed above for noise control except Advance i426, 426, i326, 326, 424, 324, 425, and 325. Based on the hearing aid connected determines the levels available. If levels 0 to 4 display, the default is 3. If levels 0 to 2 display, the default is 2. If levels Off/On display, the default is On. The amount of adaptation that each level will apply displays in a tool tip by pointing to the radio button. |
To adjust the time constants for a specific environment, click on the words Quiet, Wind, and/or Machine Noise and a pop-up window displays.
Click on the red, gray, or blue radio button representing the desired time constant for the right hearing aid only, both hearing aids, or the left hearing aid only.
| Field Name | Description | Details |
| Quiet Time Constants | Indicates how quickly the hearing aid(s) should reduce low level noises for all memories. | This feature is only available for select products. The options available are Slower, Medium, and Faster. The default is Medium. |
| Wind Time Constants | Indicates how quickly the hearing aid(s) should reach the specified wind gain reduction for all memories. | This feature is only available for select products. The options available are Slower, Medium, and Faster. The default is Medium. |
| Machine Noise Time Constants | Indicates how quickly the hearing aid(s) should reach the specified machine noise gain reduction for all memories. | This feature is only available for select products. The options available are Slower, Medium, and Faster. The default is Medium. |
Configure the directional setting if applicable.
| Field Name | Description | Details |
| Directionality | Selects the directional setting for the specific memory or all memories if linked. This feature is not available for Disabled or Telephone memories. A static or animated visual representation of the setting selected displays. | This feature is only available if the hearing aid connected supports a directional system. The settings available are Omni, Directional, and Dynamic. The default for Normal memory is Dynamic. When binaurally fitting Advance 26 products, if the directional setting is changed for one ear side, the opposite side is automatically changed to the same setting because the settings must match between devices. |
| Directionality Plus | Denotes whether or not to increase the adaptation amount for Voice iQ² in all technology levels (up to 20 dB in the Advance i726 and Advance Micro i726 products, up to 15 dB in the Advance i626 and Advance Micro i626 products, and up to 10dB in the Advance i526 and Advance Micro i526 products) and reach the maximum adaptation threshold at 80 dB SPL. If selected, the animated visual representation displays a waveform. | This feature is available on all wireless Advance 26 and Advance 26 Micro products except CICs. This checkbox is only available if Dynamic is selected for Directionality and the default is unchecked. When fitting binaurally, if Directionality Plus is checked or unchecked for one ear side, the opposite side is automatically checked or unchecked because the state of this feature must match between devices. |
To adjust the switching threshold, time constants, and/or low frequency roll off for directionality, click on the words Directionality and a pop-up window displays.
Click on the red, gray, or blue radio button representing the desired switching threshold, time constants, and/or low frequency roll off for the right hearing aid only, both hearing aids, or the left hearing aid only.
| Field Name | Description | Details |
| Switching | Indicates how often the hearing aid(s) should switch to directional mode for the specific memory or all memories if linked. | This feature is only available for select products. The thresholds available are Less Often, Often, and More Often. The default is Often. The amount of adjustment that each threshold will apply displays in a tool tip by pointing to the radio button. |
| Directional Time Constants | Indicates how quickly the hearing aid(s) should reach the specified directional setting for all memories. | This feature is only available for select products. The options available are Slower, Medium, and Faster. The default is Medium. |
| Roll Off | Indicates how much low frequency amplification should be reduced when switching from omni to directional mode for the specific memory or all memories if linked. | This feature is only available for select products. If the directional setting for the specific memory is Omni, this field is disabled. The levels available are Off (directional frequency response matches the omni-directional response), Partial (6 dB/ octave), and Full (12 dB/ octave). The default is Off. |
Click Memory 1 to enable or disable Binaural Spatial Mapping features if applicable.
| Note: Binaural Spatial Mapping can only be enabled/disabled via Memory 1 but any change applies to all memory environments. Although Binaural Spatial Mapping is enabled for all active memory environments, setting any applicable activity level to 0, or setting directionality to Omni or Directional will disable Binaural Spatial Mapping in that memory, denoted by "N/A". |
| Note: This feature is not available for monaural fittings if the hearing aid has never been paired or when simulating one wireless hearing aid. |
| Field Name | Description | Details |
| Wind Binaural Spatial Mapping | Denotes whether or not to automatically enhance comfort when wind noise is present but speech is absent for all memories. | This feature is available on all wireless products except Advance i526, i426, i326, 524, 424, 324, and Advance Micro i526. If selected, which is checked by default, communication between the left and right hearing aids improves patient comfort in wind noise by ensuring that both devices make coordinated changes in response to the sound environment. |
| Machine Noise Binaural Spatial Mapping | Denotes whether or not to automatically enhance comfort when machine noise is present but speech is absent for all memories. | This feature is available on all wireless products except Advance i526, i426, i326, 524, 424, 324, and Advance Micro i526. If selected, which is checked by default, binaural communication between the hearing aids provides more symmetrical noise reduction and increases patient comfort in environments with machine noise. |
| Directionality
Binaural Spatial Mapping |
Denotes whether or not to automatically facilitate an optimal signal-to-noise ratio when speech is present for all memories. | This feature is available on all wireless products except Advance i426, i326, 524, 424, and 324. If selected, which is checked by default, wireless communication between the right and left hearing aids improves the ability of the directional system to adapt to changes in the listening environment and to ensure that speech signals are always preserved binaurally. The system detects the direction of the signal source, compares the SNR between the right and left ears, and chooses the side with the better SNR to determine the directional focus for the hearing aids. If no speech is detected, the system adapts to provide the most comfortable listening setting. |
