Fully Digital Power Instrument with Voice Activation for Moderate to Severe Hearing Loss
Somerset, NJ, June 2003 - Adapto HS/LP Power (312), brings the advantages of voice-activated, high-performance digital technology in a new, smaller power instrument from Oticon, Inc. The fully automatic, digital instrument provides more gain, a more comfortable listening experience and a highly flexible range of accessories and options in a smaller Half Shell, Low Profile solution, without compromising performance. Adapto HS/LP Power (312), designed for people with moderate to severe hearing loss, builds on the success of existing Adapto Power styles in Full Shell ITE and BTE Power styles.
The Power of Speech Understanding
New findings show that many Power users benefit significantly from amplification in the high frequencies. In the past, it has been difficult to achieve sufficient gain in this region without also exposing users to the risk of unpleasant whistling. With help of an advanced, extremely effective Dynamic Feedback Cancellation system, Adapto HS/LP Power (312) is able to add more gain in the high frequencies and optimize conditions for speech understanding and maximum audibility - without the risk of feedback.
The Power of Comfort
Since even the smallest speech cues can make a difference between understanding or misunderstanding what is said, individuals with severe hearing loss often must tolerate exposure to very high output levels, causing strain and fatigue. Adapto HS/LP Power (312) uses an intelligent speech detection system, called VoiceFinder™. As soon as speech is detected, even in difficult listening situations, the VoiceFindder provides full amplification. When no speech is detected, VoiceFinder automatically turns down the volume by changing to a more comfortable, relaxing, listening mode.
The Power of Individuality
Meeting the special needs of Power users is more than merely a question of providing sufficient power. Adapto HS/LP Power (312) offers three dedicated processing schemes to meet the challenges associated with treating a severe hearing loss.
Adapto HS/LP Power (312) complements the existing Full Shell ITE and BTE Power styles, offering a wide range of options, such as Telecoil, automatic Telecoil and multiple programs.
