Step 2: Determine and set

the sound prole

Overview

Every hearing

inrument has a

choice of sound

proles. These

are pre-congured

setups of the

hearing inrument, for typical hearing losses.

You need the client’s audiogram to determine the

suitable sound prole. With the rocker switch, you set the

correct sound prole.

Note that the rocker switch has a double function: A

short press makes the hearing inrument louder or

softer. A long press changes the sound prole.

10

Inruction with example

➊Mark the row for the dB-value at 0.5 kHz.

➋Mark the column for the dB-value at 2 kHz.

➌The recommended sound prole is shown where

➊ and ➋ intersect.

To set the determined sound prole in the hearing

inruments:

> Use a ethoclip to hear the

syem sounds better.

> Insert a battery and ensure that the inrument is

turned on.

13

> To switch to the next sound prole, hold down the top

of the rocker switch and release it after a minimum of

10 seconds.

On release, the sound prole is changed and a

If you turn oﬀ the hearing inrument immediately

after changing the sound prole, the sound prole

change may not be saved. Wait 5 seconds before

turning the hearing inrument oﬀ.

Step 4: Te

Overview

Try diﬀerent volume levels or, if necessary,

change the sound prole.

Note that the rocker switch has a double

function: A short press makes the hearing

inrument louder or softer. A long press

changes the sound prole.

Inruction

The target is to ensure that volume and sound of the

hearing inrument are to the requirements of the client.

- Explain client how to adju the volume with the rocker

switch.

- Speak to the client (normal loudness) and let the client

increase the inruments' volume to a comfortable

level.

If the client needs more gain:

> Brieﬂy press the top of the rocker

switch to increase the volume.

Repeat as necessary.

> If the client ill requires more

gain, switch to the next sound

prole: Hold down the top of the

rocker switch and release it after a

minimum of 10 seconds. Refer to

section "Set the sound prole".

If the highe sound prole is ill too soft:

> STF P T1 may not be suitable .

19

If the client needs less gain:

> Brieﬂy press the bottom of the

rocker switch to decrease the

volume.

Repeat as necessary.

> If the client ill requires less

gain, switch to the previous

sound prole: Hold down the

bottom of the rocker switch and

release it after a minimum of

10 seconds. Refer to section

"Set the sound prole".

If the lowe sound prole is ill too loud:

> STF P T1 may not be suitable .

NOTICE

> If the client is unsatised after trying several

sound proles then the hearing inrument

type may not be suitable. Please try a diﬀerent

hearing inrument type.
