Using SmartSound
™
in different listening
environments
Your processor incorporates innovative Nucleus SmartSound
technology.
SmartSound is designed to mimic the ear’s adaptive capabilities,
delivering improved hearing outcomes and behave in the same way
as natural hearing, providing control over how sound is processed in
different listening environments.
There are various SmartSound 2 options available, grouped within
four hearing environments. The following functions may be included
as options, within a program:
•
Everyday is ideal for the typical listening conditions of everyday
life and can automatically adjust the sounds you hear for
maximum clarity and comfort.
•
Noise is suitable for environments with significant background
noise, improving the audibility of wanted sound from various
positions.
•
Focus is useful where there is significant background noise but
focus is needed on a single source of sound.
•
Music is used to listen to all types of music from any audio
source.
Discuss with your clinician how you want these options applied to
your programs. You can only use these options if your clinician has
set them up in one or more of your four programs. You can then use
a SmartSound 2 option by changing to the program(s) where it is
available.
