7. Use [<, >] to change the frequency of the bias signal. The current selected
frequency will be displayed on the screen below the Curve Characteristics

example of using the bias signal at several different frequencies.
3.5.4 Checking Noise Suppression
When testing a digital hearing aid that is supposed to be programmed with a
noise suppression or speech enhancement feature, it is useful to make sure the
feature is working correctly. You can use a combination of Digital Speech and
the Composite signal to test noise suppression.
1. Look at the top left corner of the graph on the Coupler screen. It should
read “dB GAIN.” If it reads “dB SPL,” you will need to change the display to
GAIN. To do this:
a. Press [MENU] from the Coupler screen to open the local menu.
b. Use [
∨, ∧
] to select Display under Display Settings.
c. Use [<, >] to choose GAIN.
d. Press [EXIT] to return to the Coupler screen.
