Advanced Bionics Naida CI Q90 Instructions For Use Manual page 49

auto UltraZoom: The intent of the auto UltraZoom
sound processing feature is to improve the signal to
enhance listening when focused on a person speaking
in front of you. Auto UltraZoom activates in a noisy
environment such as a restaurant when you are trying
to listen to an individual speaker to you from the front.
The feature will automatically enter or exit this mode
depending on the surrounding noise in the environment
and can be enabled in an "everyday program".
StereoZoom: The StereoZoom feature is design only for
use with bilateral recipients. The intent of this feature is
to use a bilateral beamformer to create a narrow beam
to focus on one person in front of you when in a noisy
environment. This is not an automatic feature; therefore
a program with StereoZoom enabled should only be
used in a noisy environment when you want to dampen
sounds to the sides and back.
Cautions
• UltraZoom is a beamforming algorithm; therefore,
by design it focuses to the front and dampens sound
from the side and back of the recipient.
• The Naída CI sound processor is designed so it can
be worn in an off-ear wearing configuration. We do
not recommend the processor be worn in the off-ear
wearing configuration while using any beamforming
algorithm.
