The individual Hearing Instrument
 

Daily Life

On many of our internet pages, we describe the technical features used in our hearing instruments. This page will give some examples where these features are useful in daily life. We describe an average day in the life of an average hearing instrument wearer, whom we call Ms Meyer.



Power-on-delay

Power-on-delay

After getting up in the morning, Ms Meyer puts in her hearing instruments. They are easily turned on by using the battery door switch and do not produce any whistling sound when she inserts them into her ears.

Microphone noise reduction

Ms Meyer enjoys breakfast on her garden terrace. Her instruments fit very comfortably, and no annoying background noise is disturbing the peaceful morning.

Feedback cancellationy

Feedback cancellation

After breakfast, Ms Meyer decides to visit a friend in her shop downtown. Putting on her hat, she is not bothered by any irritating feedback.

Digital noise reduction

When Ms Meyer enters the shop, her friend is vacuuming.

Her hearing instruments are picking up both the sound of the vacuum cleaner and her friend's voice. Ms Meyer can clearly hear her friend and enjoy the conversation without difficulties.

Multichannel directional adaptive microphone

Multichannel directional adaptive microphone

When Ms Meyer and her friend walk to a nearby coffee shop, the automatic adaptive microphone of her hearing instruments allows a relaxed conversation in spite of all the traffic noise that surrounds them.

AutoPhone

Back home, Ms Meyer receives a phone call. The voice on the phone is easy to understand. The listening situation is so natural during the call that she forgets that she was wearing her hearing instruments.

Wind noise reduction

Wind noise reduction

Ms Meyer’s favourite exercise is cycling. She needs to wear her hearing instruments during the ride so that she can hear the traffic. During her evening ride it became rather windy, but thanks to the wind noise reduction feature, her hearing instruments do not produce any annoying sounds.

Dedicated hearing program e.g. for music

In the evening Ms Meyer goes to the opera house. As she is very keen on classical music, she was glad when her dispenser suggested a dedicated listening program for music.
