Selecting a hearing profile for sound enhancement
The hearing profiles allow you to alter the sound of the audio signal
in order to improve the speech intelligibility and to adjust the sound
to suit your preferences. The profiles are used to specifically change
certain frequency ranges by e.g. boosting or attenuating low-fre-
quency or high-frequency tones.
All hearing profiles feature a compression function which compen-
sates for volume differences by boosting the volume of quiet pas-
sages and reducing the volume of loud passages if necessary.
The balance setting is saved on the stethoset receiver. If you
are using several receivers with a transmitter, the respective
receivers are optimally adjusted to match the personal hear-
ing preferences of the users (e.g. you and your partner).
Please note that the personal hearing preferences can only be
adjusted when only stethoset receiver is connected to the
transmitter.
Displaying the activated hearing profile

To check the activate hearing profile:
Switch the stethoset receiver on by putting it on (see page 19).

Sound enhancement
LED
The sound from the connected audio source
is reproduced unchanged.
Low-frequency tones are slightly boosted to
provide a warm, full sound.
High-frequency tones are reproduced less
piercing and clanking.
High-frequency tones are strongly boosted
to provide a crystal-clear sound, especially
for sibilants and high-frequency tones such
as twittering of birds.
Low-frequency tones are attenuated so that
they cannot mask high-frequency tones.
A graphic representation of the hearing profiles can be found
on page 40.
