GN ReSound^TM Canta2

Our Canta 2 product line is an economical alternative for use in less demanding listening environments. A complete line of models are available including CIC, ITC, Full Shell ITE, and 2 BTE styles. Volume controls are available on ITC and Full Shell ITE styles.

Features Include:

Cochlea Dynamics Sound Processing
Up to 2 environmental programs
Digital Directional Technology
Digital Feedback Suppression

Cochlea Dynamics Sound Processing:|

GN ReSound looked to the human ear to see how a hearing aid should respond to sounds in the environment. The result is research and development is GN ReSound's patented Digital Cochlea Dynamics compression system. Canta 2 uses a series of overlapping digital filters to process sound in a manner that mimics the function of a healthly human cochlea. This provides the wearer with clear sound quality. Digital Cochlea Dynamics and GN ReSound's programming software gives your hearing healthcare professional flexibility to fine tune the sound processing of Canta 2 hearing aids to meet your unique needs. GN ReSound's software based digital signal processor allows for advancements in technology and sound quality to be programmed into the Canta 2 without upgrading the physical hardware.

Environmental Programs:

Depending on the style of hearing aid, Canta 2 instruments can be programmed with up to two environmental programs. Programs are accessed with a convenient push button or slide switch on the hearing aid. A third program, available on certain models is reserved for telecoil use. Your hearing healthcare professional will program your Canta 2 based on your needs and lifestyle.

Digital Directional Technology:

Canta 2 also offers Digital Directional Technology on certain models. Those Canta 2 models offering directionality utilize two microphones and specialized digital signal processing to provide the most amplification to sounds coming from in front of you and less to sounds in other areas of the environment.

Digital Feedback Suppression:

Many hearing aid users have high frequency hearing loss which effects the ability to hear consonant sounds in speech. Thus, without adequate high frequency amplification, the speech signal will be unclear. Unfortunately, providing adequate high frequency amplification often results in feedback. The Digital Feedback Suppression (DFS) in Canta 2 combats feedback by eliminating only the feedback without a reduction in high frequency amplification. This system is calibrated specifically to your ear by your hearing healthcare professional.

Starkey Axent�

AXENT�

Part of the GENESIS Family of digital signal processing solutions from Starkey, the AXENT algorithm brings unique possibilities in versatility and
performance to meet the most demanding listening requirements.

With its four WDRC channels containing adjustable crossover frequencies and eight bands for optimal response fine-tuning, AXENT features:

ADAPTIVE NOISE MANAGEMENT. Gain reduction of steady-state noise only in the channels where noise is detected.

MULTICHANNEL EXPANSION. Minimizing circuit and low level environmental noise commonly associated with WDRC technology.

ADAPTIVE FEEDBACK CANCELLATION. Feedback elimination with no degradation of signal, and without compromising gain.

DIGITALLY CONFIGURABLE DIRECTIONALITY. Dual microphone technology with three KEMAR-designed polar plots to customize the direction of greatest noise reduction.

Combine all this with In Situ Audiometry and Loudness Verification working with the fitting simplicity and flexibility of the Professional Fitting System (PFS v. 3.1).

Oticon Synchro II

Syncro is now also available in a more powerful version.

This means people with more severe hearing losses can also enjoy the benefits of Artificial Intelligence.

Syncro intuitively and automatically adapts to changing listening conditions, always ensuring that voices come through clearly. Just like radar, Syncro constantly scans the environment for voices � and noise.

It then analyzes the sound environment in order to provide the right response. Unlike conventional digital instruments, Syncro bases its decisions on meticulous real-time comparisons of the outcome of different processing techniques.

It always chooses the strategy guaranteed to provide the clearest reproduction of speech - regardless of the complexity of the listening environment. This intelligent system is called Voice Priority Processing.

By combining our award-winning speech detection system with unique noise reduction technology, Syncro provides a perfect balance between comfortable listening in noisy situations and full clarity whenever speech is present.

Syncro uses highly advanced sound detectors to evaluate each situation. If only noise is present, it will reduce it. If there is a combination of speech and noise, then Syncro will enhance the speech. All to help you communicate comfortably wherever you go.

A: Speech in quiet

B: Speech in noise

C: Noise only

Whether you lead an active or a quieter lifestyle, Syncro can be tailor made to support your personal listening preferences and any particular communication requirements.

Syncro's extremely powerful, yet tiny, sound processor calculates the optimal combination of thousands of settings to provide the best amplification scheme in any situation.

Oticon Syncro comes in a complete range of styles, from virtually invisible In-the-Canal instruments to sleek, chic, Behind-the-Ear models. Your hearing care professional can help you find the style that suits you best.

Syncro can be customized with up to four different listening programs, which are accessible at the simple touch of a button. These can be used according to your needs - church, music or in the cinema etc.
