When the directional microphones are activated
automatically (automatic), the hearing instrument
will continually monitor the environment and
gradually adjust to the appropriate mode to
optimize speech intelligibility.

When the directional microphones are activated
by pushing the Multimemory button (manual), the
hearing instrument optimizes speech when you
select the directional memory.

Ask your hearing care professional about your
particular directional settings.
