Focus
Focus adjusts the directionality of the microphones in
your hearing aids to hear more clearly directly in front
of you.
How Can Focus Help You?
Focus isolates and enhances sounds directly in front of you, which is very useful for greater clarity of
conversation in noisy environments like restaurants. Focus is turned on by default for the Restaurant
setting if you select this Location (see Locations for more details). Focus works best when a person
is close and in front of you.
How to Use Focus
In the IQbuds app Focus can be turned on and off with the Focus switch, or by tapping the center of
the circle on the Focus screen.

Example Scenario
Focus can help you to more clearly hear a person speaking in front of you when a loud table is sitting
behind you at a restaurant. When Focus is on it detects more sound from in front of you. Focus is not
recommended when outdoors in windy environments, or in situations where full peripheral awareness
is required (e.g., walking and cycling, etc.).
