Moxi2 Pro and Quantum2 Pro offer wearers the ultimate listening experience in all environments.
March 26th, 2014 - Kitchener, Canada – Unitron today announced the introduction of Pro, the new premium technology level for its Moxi2 and Quantum2 product families. Pro delivers a number of industry leading enhancements, including SpeechZone™ 2, ensuring wearers experience incredibly natural sound, less distraction from everyday noises, and superior speech understanding, to create an ultimate listening experience.
360 degree speech detection with SpeechZone 2
Unique to Pro for Quantum2 and Moxi2, SpeechZone 2 can pinpoint speech within 360 degrees and respond intelligently to provide superior results for speech in noise. Activated when speech is present in a noisy environment, its sensors rapidly determine if speech is coming from the front, back, left or right side of the listener. SpeechZone 2 then automatically selects a binaural or asymmetric synchronized microphone strategy to ensure the best possible speech understanding in noise. This ability to target speech from any direction is made possible by the next generation of binaural spatial processing.
“Anytime we can make a hearing instrument more intelligent, we have an opportunity to provide a better hearing experience for the wearer. With SpeechZone 2 we are able to target the exact location of speech, providing wearers with ease of listening in some of the most challenging listening circumstances,” says Dr. Don Hayes, Director of Clinical Research, Unitron. “The binaural system enabling SpeechZone 2 is uniquely efficient in that it has two intelligent subsystems working independently, yet coordinating when necessary. And its automatic approach works 5x faster; enabling accurate, rapid detection of speech without compromising awareness, or creating disruption for the wearer.”
Pro creates an ultimate listening experience for patients
Powered by the Era™ platform, Moxi2 Pro and Quantum2 Pro offers wearers an ultimate listening experience in all environments. The combination of advanced technologies: a sophisticated four destination Automatic Program, SmartFocus 2 and SpeechZone 2, provide patients with ease of listening in both quiet and noisy environments. The orchestration of these technologies, perfected by Unitron’s research and development team, result in incredibly natural sound, less distraction from everyday noises, and better understanding of speech in noise.
