Audibility Fine Tuning

This unique feature gives the hearing care professional the possibility to adjust the hearing instrument response for more difficult listening situations. For example, increasing the clarity for sounds such as "s", "sh", "f," which are crucial for speech recognition and intelligibility. These individual phonemes are spectrally calibrated and can be selected and presented as sound samples to the client. Depending on the outcome desired, only the appropriate adjustment tools will be made available and the curve displays will reflect how these sounds are amplified in comparison to the client's hearing threshold. During the Phonak Target™ market trials, the Audibility Fine Tuning feature was evaluated and determined to be a valuable and purposeful tool.
