PISCATAWAY, N.J., MAY 2003 - Originally introduced to Hearing Care Professionals and individuals with hearing loss in March 2002, Siemens has enhanced TRIANO™ with additional features and patient benefits. TRIANO is a family of hearing solutions that focuses on patient comfort by offering a highly sophisticated algorithm that analyzes the environment and automatically makes the appropriate signal processing changes.
Taking a new approach to improvement, the enhancements to TRIANO resulted from collaboration between continued research in hearing care and input from Hearing Care Professionals. These innovative enhancements include:
- Optimized fitting and sound processing with even better sound quality and increased patient satisfaction.
- More directional options available on most models.
- A new sports program and enhanced settings for music and telephone environments to enhance patient benefits.
- Patient friendly on/off battery compartment door operation for the TRIANO 3 BTE.
- An improved program button for enhanced patient convenience on the TRIANO 3 BTE.
- Quick and easy demonstration of TRIANO directional microphone system benefits.
- With the Automatic Situation Detection, the system is able to decide whether the listening situation is speech, speech in a noisy environment, fluctuating noise, stationary wind noise, or if there is a feedback condition. The system then automatically applies appropriate modifications for that situation in real-time.
- The Signal Optimization reduces the negative effects of background noise by employing a Fast Signal Optimizer (a high resolution, 16-channel noise reduction system) to provide even better performance in noisy situations. The Signal Optimization also consists of: Speech Sensitive Processing, Automatic Directionality, Wind Noise Reduction, Feedback Suppression, and Adaptive Telecoil (T-coil).
- With the Automatic Directional Microphone, TRIANO smoothly transitions between directional and omnidirectional modes in appropriate situations. The transition occurs smoothly and automatically without creating noise or other distractions.
