Coordination of compression
– The DREAM hearing aids maintain the
intensity level difference between ears (inter-aural level difference, ILD) .
In some situations where speech is presented to one side and noise the
other side, this coordinated action could enhance the relative loudness of
the speech sounds to the noise background and improve speech under-
standing for some wearers .
More accurate identification of feedback
– The DREAM hearing aids dis-
tinguish between “true” hearing aid whistling (or feedback) and music
sounds to prevent unnecessary feedback cancellation and preserve nat-
ural sound quality .
(Contraindications):
• Congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear
• Active drainage from the ear within 90 days
• History of rapid progressive hearing loss within previous 90 days
• Acute or chronic dizziness
• Sudden unilateral hearing loss in previous 90 days
