Full product information is provided in the 

Ezairo 7111 Firmware Bundle User’s Guide

, which is included with the 

Sound Designer Software Windows Application.

2.3  Sound Designer Software

The Ezairo Sound Designer Software Application is an engineering tool that allows Hearing Aid manufacturers to 

configure any Pre Suite Firmware bundle and derive several different Hearing Aid end products. Sound Designer 
Software consists of the Sound Designer Software Windows Application and the Sound Designer Software 
Development Kit (SDK).

The Sound Designer Software Application provides a complete desktop environment for hearing aid design. It 

integrates a device modeler, parameter map editor, product library manager, device control panel, and a calibration and 
configuration utility. This allows hearing aid manufacturers to create, configure, and test hearing aids more efficiently, 
with less time spent on repetitive tasks. The application’s menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 5.
