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.

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.
