Explanation |
| Automatic Noise Reduction |
as steady-state noise gets louder, Automatic Noise Reduction applies an increasing amount of noise reduction |
| Frequency Dependent Noise Reduction |
with Frequency Dependent Noise Reduction, the amount of Automatic Noise Reduction is customized based on the yout hearing loss |
| Adaptive Directionality – DIRECTIONALfocus |
offers a unique and highly effective approach to managing unwanted noise. As the name implies, DIRECTIONALfocus creates a focus area, or “beam”, in front of the listener and varies how much sounds are reduced as they move out of the beam |
| Adaptive Directionality – Focused Null Steering |
constantly monitors the environment for the location of the loudest sound. Once the sound is located, the directional response is adjusted so that less amplification is provided to sounds from the sides or behind the listener. |
| Fixed Expansion |
the amount of reduction for low-level background noise is the same at all frequencies, regardless of the your hearing loss. |
| Gain Dependent Expansion |
automatically adjusts how much amplification is applied in each frequency for soft environmental noise based on the overall amplification prescribed for the patient. in frequencies where hearing loss is mild, less amplification is applied to reduce low-level noise that might be audible with better hearing. |
| Manual Options |
all Velocity products also provide “manual override” settings that allow patients to switch to specific listening programs for different environments. |
| Automatic Options |
give you a robust “hands-free” option that is suitable for most listening situations. By combining Automatic Directionality and Focused Null Steering, the Universal configuration dynamically and imperceptibly adjusts the directional characteristics based on the level of ambient noise, location of noise, and overall signal-to-noise ratio to determine the optimum settings for the environment |
| Fixed Feedback Cancellation |
some environments – for example listening to music or riding in a car – produce tonal sounds that can be misinterpreted by adaptive systems as feedback. For these situations, Velocity offers fixed feedback cancellation that is not susceptible to environmental tonal sounds. |
| Patient Controlled Retraining |
velocity gives the you the ability to “reset” the feedback canceller if there is a significant physical change in the feedback path. |
| Adaptive Feedback Cancellation |
constantly monitors for changes in the environment that may cause feedback. When a change is detected, the phase cancelling system quickly calculates and applies a “counter-signal” that removes the feedback without decreasing amplification. |
| Voice Alerts |
Using simple, straightforward words, Voice Alerts tell the patient the name of the listening program in use. Voice Alerts also inform the patient when the battery is low |
