sound level of the Hearing instrument:
Rotate the MPO trimmer clockwise to
reduce the overall output.
• Why Maximum Power Output trimmer?
To protect the user from unwanted
sound levels!
Trimmer – Low frequency control
• The Low-frequency trimmer control:
Rotate the trimmer clockwise to
control loud sound and low pitched
sounds. The control can also be used to
shape the frequency response
• Why Low-frequency trimmer?
To give the benefit of being able to
control soft sounds in general and
improve speech clarity!
Trimmer – High frequency control
• The High-frequency trimmer control:
Rotate the trimmer counter-clockwise
to amplify low-frequency sounds
This trimmer can be used for
eliminating feedback. The control is
active in the frequency of1000 Hz and
above.
• Why High-frequency trimmer?
To give the benefit of being able to
control uncomfortable sounds!
Trimmer – Threshold Kneepoint control
• The Threshold Kneepoint trimmer control:
Rotate the trimmer clockwise to control
loud sounds and high-pitched sounds.
To control soft sounds in general, rotate
the TK trimmer counter-clockwise.
• Why High-frequency trimmer?
To give the benefit of being able to
control both loud and soft sounds!
Trimmer – Program selector
• The Program selector trimmer:
Rotate the trimmer clockwise to choose between 4 programs. The chosen
program configures the push button.
• Why a Program selector?
With a trimmer to control the program selector, you will have a wide
choice of selecting which program setting is most suited for the hearing
impaired.

Fine tuning Guide
Adaptive Feedback Manager
The TrimFlex+ Super Power Adaptive Feedback Manager monitors the socalled ‘error signal’ to look for presence of feedback across the range of
frequencies 2000-6500 Hz.
The Feedback Compensation filter is adapted so that the ‘error signal’ is
minimized.
Unlike an adaptive notch filter or adaptive channel gain - this approach
does not reduce gain in the hearing aid
Adaptive Feedback Benefits
Automatically reduces feedback
•
At least 10 dB of improvement
•
Without lowering gain
Improved stability allows
•
Higher gain fittings
•
Looser ear mould fitting
•
Larger venting
•
Acoustic telephone use
Hearing experience intact & more
•
Music is not distorted
•
Better understanding in high frequency and speech
Adaptive Noise Reduction
The TrimFlex+ Super Power Adaptive Noise Reduction system uses three
detection time layers over 10 bands to detect speech in noise depending on
the listening situation – automatically!
Syllabic layer:
• With the Syllabic mode it
is possible to recognize
fast or slow modulations,
enabling the system to
determine where to filter
with a Noise Reduction
+
Environment layer:
• This layer is designed to
identify when speech is
not present and gradually
reduce the NR band gain
(10 seconds), but also to
reactivate it slowly when
speech is detected again.
+
Quick-Recovery layer:
• The Quick-Recovery
compliments the
Environment layer and
releases the sound quickly
to avoid the listener to
have a delay in speech
recognition
Adaptive Noise Reduction Benefits
Syllabic layer benefits
•
Enables the hearing instrument to distinguish between noise signals and
actual speech, thus making it easier for the wearer to filter out and
understand their surroundings
Environment layer benefits
•
Will avoid uncomfortable increases in the gain when in silent areas, in
other words help adjust the sound input in environments and make it
more comfortable for the listener in all situations.
Quick-Recovery benefits
•
Much better performance and audibility when in conversations.
•
Ensuring that the listener will not miss out on any parts of the
conversation when changing from quite to busy environments.
