Selecting a hearing profile for sound enhancement
The hearing profiles alter the sound of the audio signal in order to
especially improve the speech intelligibility. The profiles are used to
specifically change certain frequency ranges by e.g. boosting or
attenuating low-frequency or high-frequency tones.
All three hearing profiles feature a compression function which
compensates for volume differences by boosting the volume of
quiet passages and reducing the volume of loud passages if neces-
sary.
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
The activated hearing profile is not permanently displayed.
To check the activate hearing profile:
Switch the stethoset receiver on by putting it on (see page 19).
Briefly press the
2s
The currently activated hearing profile is displayed for 10 sec-
onds.
Sound enhancement
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 39.
