.
| Note: If there are any differences between the two hearing aids' physical user controls (e.g., push button and standard analog VC) and the volume control options, the devices cannot be configured binaurally, therefore, each hearing aid must be configured separately. Wireless hearing aids cannot be configured separately due to ear-to-ear features. |
Configure user controls based on the user control type.
| Field Name | Description | Details |
| User Control Type | ||
| Switch | ||
| Press and Release Memory | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will control the memory. | Only one hearing aid can control the memory, volume control, or advanced VC - press and release, memory - press and release, therefore, if Memory is selected for an ear side and Press and Release Volume Control or Advanced VC - Press and Release, Memory - Press and Release was selected previously for the same ear side, it's automatically unchecked. |
| Press and Release Volume Control | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will control the volume. | Only one hearing aid can control the volume control, memory, or advanced VC - press and release, memory - press and release, therefore, if Volume Control is selected for an ear side and Press and Release Memory or Advanced VC - Press and Release, Memory - Press and Release was selected previously for the same ear side, it's automatically unchecked. |
| Advanced VC - Press and Release, Memory - Press and Hold | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will control both the volume and memory. | Click the down arrow to expand the Advanced section. Only one hearing aid can control the advanced VC - press and release, memory - press and release, memory, or volume control, therefore, if Advanced VC - Press and Release, Memory - Press and Release is selected for an ear side and Press and Release Memory or Volume Control was selected previously for the same ear side, it's automatically unchecked. |
| Push Button, Sweep Technology, Continuous Digital VC (4 Memory), Standard Analog VC (4 Memory), or No VC (4 Memory) | ||
| Short Press Memory | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will control the memory. | Only one hearing aid can control the memory or volume control, therefore, if Memory is selected for an ear side and Short Press Volume Control was selected previously for the same ear side, it's automatically unchecked. This feature is checked and disabled for hearing aids that contain either a continuous digital VC with 4 memory, standard analog VC with 4 memory, or no VC with 4 memory. |
| Short Press Volume Control | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will control the volume and selects how the volume control will function. | Only one hearing aid can control the volume control or memory, therefore, if Volume Control is selected for an ear side and Short Press Memory was selected previously for the same ear side, it's automatically unchecked. If fitting binaurally and the other hearing aid contains a continuous digital VC, this option is disabled. If Continuous Digital Volume Control is unchecked for the other hearing aid, this option is enabled. However, if Short Memory Volume Control is selected and Continuous Digital Volume Control is rechecked for the other hearing aid, this option is unchecked and disabled. The volume control options available are based on the hearing aid's firmware version and the options selected. The options are Sprinkler Decrease, Sprinkler Increase, Right Raise, Left Lower (push button only and short press volume control for both ear sides and ear-to-ear volume control must be selected), and Left Raise, Right Lower (push button only and short press volume control for both ear sides and ear-to-ear volume control must be selected). The default is Sprinkler Decrease. This feature is not available for hearing aids that contain either a continuous digital VC with 4 memory, standard analog VC with 4 memory, or no VC with 4 memory. |
| Sweep Technology Memory: Touch | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will control the memory. | This user control only displays for Advance 25 BTE, Advance 23, and Advance 22 hearing aids that contain a Sweep Technology volume control. Only one hearing aid can control the memory, volume control, or advanced dual VC-sweep, memory-touch, therefore, if Memory is selected for an ear side and Sweep Technology Volume Control or Advanced Dual VC-Sweep, Memory-Touch was selected previously for the same ear side, it's automatically unchecked. |
| Sweep Technology Volume Control | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will control the volume and selects how the volume control will function. | This user control only displays for Advance 25 BTE, Advance 23, and Advance 22 hearing aids that contain a Sweep Technology volume control. Only one hearing aid can control the volume control, memory, or advanced dual VC-sweep, memory-touch, therefore, if Volume Control is selected for an ear side and Sweep Technology Memory: Touch or Advanced Dual VC-Sweep, Memory-Touch was selected previously for the same ear side, it's automatically unchecked. The volume control options available are Sweep, Sprinkler Decrease, and Sprinkler Increase (Advance 25 BTE only). The default is Sweep. |
| Push and Hold (> 3 seconds) | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will mute the hearing aid without having to remove it from the ear or turn it OFF. | This feature is not available on wired products. |
| Advanced Sweep Technology Dual: VC-Sweep, Memory-Touch | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will control both the volume and memory. | This user control only displays for Advance 25 BTE, Advance 23, and Advance 22 hearing aids that contain a Sweep Technology volume control. Click the down arrow to expand the Advanced section. Only one hearing aid can control the advanced VC-sweep, memory-touch, memory, or volume control, therefore, if Advanced Dual VC-Sweep, Memory-Touch is selected for an ear side and Sweep Technology Memory: Touch or Volume Control was selected previously for the same ear side, it's automatically unchecked. |
| Advanced Surface Control Sleep | Indicates which ear side(s), if any, will require the hearing aid to be touched to awake from sleep. This feature prevents adjustments from occurring if the control surface is touched inadvertently. | This user control only displays for hearing aids that contain a Sweep Technology volume control. Click the down arrow to expand the Advanced section. This option is only enabled if Short Press Memory, Short Press Volume Control, Sweep Technology Memory: Touch, Sweep Technology Volume Control, or Sweep Technology Dual: VC-Sweep, Memory-Touch is selected. |
