Indicators for Evolv AI, Livio Edge AI, Livio AI, Livio, Picasso, Halo iQ, Muse iQ, SoundLens Synergy iQ, Halo 2, Muse, Halo, Z Series, 3 Series, SoundLens, Xino, Wi Series, Ignite, X Series, and S Series iQ Products

Indicators set and adjust the signals that inform the patient of a low battery, memory change, volume increase/decrease, etc., select the language for speech indicators, and enable/disable any desired indicators. Adjustments can be made globally or individually and can be demonstrated to the patient through his/her hearing aids or to his/her family through the computer's speakers.

The indicators available are based on the hearing aid connected or simulated and its physical user control (e.g., rocker switch, push button, etc.). For example, Favorite Button and Cell Phone are only available for wireless hearing aids except Evolv AI, Livio Edge AI, Livio AI, Livio, Halo iQ, Halo 2, and Halo. Indicators are enabled by default if the hearing aid features are enabled. For example, Telephone is only enabled if a Telephone memory is enabled.

1. Connect and select the desired hearing aid(s) to adjust via Get Started.

2. Click on the Read Device Settings or Load a Previous Session radio button and then click Start.

3. Click Indicators.

4. Inspire automatically defaults to a binaural view if applicable. To adjust only the right or left hearing aid, click or .

   Note:  If fitting CROS/BiCROS devices, only the receiver aid can be adjusted, therefore, the side cannot be selected.

5. Click All Indicators to make any global adjustments global adjustments if desired.

   Field Name	Description	Details
   Tone	Increases, decreases, or resets all enabled tonal indicator levels.	Click  to increase or  to decrease all tonal levels 5 dB. Subsequent clicks increase or decrease all levels in 5 dB increments. Once the maximum or minimum level is reached, the button is disabled. Click Reset to revert all tonal indicators back to their Best Fit level (=).
   Speech/Chimes	Increases, decreases, or resets all enabled speech/chime indicator levels.	Click  to increase or  to decrease all speech/chime levels 5 dB. Subsequent clicks increase or decrease all levels in 5 dB increments. Once the maximum or minimum level is reached, the button is disabled. Click Reset to revert all speech/chime indicators back to their Best Fit level (=).
   Indicator Language	Selects the language for all speech indicators.	If Auto Path was run previously, the indicator language selected automatically defaults. If simulating, the Indicator Language selected via Configuration Preferences automatically defaults.
   Enable automatic indicator level change	Denotes whether or not the hearing aid should automatically adjust the volume level based on the noise level in a specific environment.	This feature is automatically checked by default.

   Note:  If fitting binaurally but viewing monaurally, any tone and/or speech/chime adjustments apply to the selected ear side only. However, any indicator language and/or enable automatic indicator level change selections are automatically assigned to both ears because the settings must match between devices.

6. To adjust a specific indicator, click the checkbox to the right of the indicator to enable or disable.

   Note:  If the hearing aid feature hasn't been enabled, this field is disabled. Enable the desired feature first (e.g., memory, volume, tinnitus, etc.) via the appropriate Fitting screen. However, Memory/Home, Hearing Aid Volume, Accessory Stream (which includes Start Stream and Accessory Volume), and Mute are automatically enabled via Best Fit in Evolv AI, Livio Edge AI, Livio AI, and Livio products because accessories can be paired outside of Inspire. For Volume Max and Volume Increase, reserve gain must be available via User Controls and for Self Check in older products, the hearing aid must have a baseline and User-Initiated Self Check must be selected via Self Check. When an indicator is enabled, the average level of all enabled indicators of that type (tone or speech/chime) defaults.

   Note:  For Evolv AI, Livio Edge AI, Livio AI, Livio, Picasso, Halo iQ, Muse iQ, SoundLens Synergy iQ, Halo 2, Muse, and SoundLens Synergy products, individual indicators for Max, Home, Steps/Volume Increase/Decrease (select products only), and Min are located under the main Hearing Aid Volume, Tinnitus Level, or Accessory Stream (must contain either a rocker switch or push button, or support T² remote control) indicator. If the main indicator is enabled or disabled, all individual indicators will be enabled or disabled respectively. If all the individual indicators are enabled, a checkmark displays for the main Hearing Aid Volume, Tinnitus Level, or Accessory Stream indicator and if all individual indicators are disabled, no checkmark displays. If all the individual indicators are neither enabled nor disabled, a square displays. The tones for all volume or tinnitus changes will be presented at the level selected for the main Hearing Aid Volume, Tinnitus Level, or Accessory Stream indicator but the stimulus can be selected per individual indicator.

   Note:  Custom/TruLink/Stream Boost is only available for Evolv AI, Livio Edge AI, Livio AI, Livio, Halo iQ, Halo 2, and Halo products. For Evolv AI, Livio Edge AI, Livio AI, Livio, and Halo iQ products specifically, these indicators are located under the Memory/Home indicator (see the Note above for usage). For Halo products specifically, this indicator is linked to the Memory/Home indicator, therefore, it cannot be enabled or disabled independently. If Memory/Home is enabled, tones will only be presented if the Custom/TruLink or Stream Boost memory is initiated manually via the push button (BTE only) or the iOS device.

   Note:  For CROS/BiCROS products, indicators can only be enabled or disabled for the receiver aid; however, if Low Battery, Mute (2.4 GHz only), and/or Power-Off Sound are enabled, a cue indicator will be presented in the transmitter after the speech, chime, or tone series/warble tone indicating that this device's battery is low, muting, or is turning off. The receiver aid will only play the speech, chime, or tone series/warble tone when this device's battery is low, muting, or is turning off, therefore, only this indicator can be demonstrated to the patient through his/her 900 MHz hearing aid. However, if demonstrating through the computer's speakers, the indicator and cue for the 900 MHz transmitter will play first followed by the indicator for the receiver. For 2.4 GHz products, these indicators can be demonstrated through the patient's hearing aid or computer's speakers by first clicking Receiver or Transmitter. CROS Stream Start and CROS Stream Stop can only be enabled or disabled if at least one memory is configured for CROS or BiCROS mode via CROS/BiCROS. If Volume and Balance Control are combined, they can only be enabled or disabled if the patient can adjust either the volume or balance via the hearing aid's physical user control and/or wireless accessory.

   Note:  If the Favorite button is configured for None, Jump to Memory 4, Tinnitus On/Off, or Initiate Self Check (Wi Series only) via Accessories, the Favorite Button indicator cannot be enabled.

   Note:  T2 Wake, Auto Fall Alert, and Manual Alert cannot be enabled or disabled via this screen. Rather, T2 Remote Control, if applicable, and/or T2 on Demand, Auto Fall Alert, and Manual Alert must be enabled or disabled via User Controls, Patient Tools, or Fitting Summary. Assistant and Edge Mode are automatically enabled and cannot be disabled.

   Note:  If enabling or disabling Self Check: Pass or Self Check: Fail in older products, both indicators will be enabled or disabled because the state of these two indicators must match.

   Note:  If viewing binaurally, both hearing aids will be enabled or disabled based on the selection. To enable or disable the right or left hearing aid only, click or and then click the desired checkbox.

7. Click on the specific indicator to adjust if desired.

   Note:  Only enabled indicators can be adjusted.

8. Click  to increase or  to decrease the tone or speech/chime level 5 dB. Subsequent clicks increase or decrease the level in 5 dB increments.

   Note:  If global adjustments were made in step 5, any adjustments made to a specific indicator are based on the new global level. For example, if the global tone level was increased +5 dB and then the tone level for a specific indicator is increased +5 dB, the new level for that indicator is +10 dB. If global adjustments are made after a specific indicator is adjusted, the level for that indicator will be adjusted again.

   Tip:  Once the maximum or minimum level is reached, the button is disabled. Click Reset to revert the indicator back to its Best Fit level (=).

9. Select the desired Stimulus from the drop down list per individual indicator, if applicable.

   Note:  Based on the indicator selected determines the available stimulus (speech/chime, tone series/warble, or specific pure tones). If the stimulus is changed from speech/chime to tone or vice versa, the average level of all enabled indicators of that type (tone or speech/chime) defaults.

   Note:  If fitting binaurally but viewing monaurally, the stimulus selected is automatically assigned to the opposite ear side because the setting must match between devices.

10. If Speech or a "Speech/Number Indicator" was selected in step 9, check or uncheck Speech Alert Tone to enable or disable the alert tone.

    Note:  If checked, an alert tone will play prior to the speech indicator. The alert tone level will mimic the speech indicator level selected.

    Note:  If fitting binaurally but viewing monaurally, the setting selected is automatically assigned to the opposite ear side because the state of this feature must match between devices.

11. Click to demonstrate the indicator to the patient through his/her hearing aid(s).

    Note:  This button is only enabled during a live fitting. If viewing binaurally and the indicator is enabled in both hearing aids, the indicator is presented in the left aid first, followed by a 2 second delay before it's presented in the right aid.

12. Click to demonstrate the indicator to the patient's family through the computer's speakers if desired.
