Take it to the LIMIT Innovative Hearing Solutions

Extremly Powerfull and EcoExtremely POWERFUL nomical.

Super Power amplication taken to the limit! People with severe and profound hearing losses need more than just an ordinary hearing aid. They require a dedicated hearing system capable of the highest performance. Limited dynamic hearing ranges combined with the highest gain and output requirements make Super Power ttings among the most challenging for the Hearing Care Professional. Pure power is the core requirement. But like an acrobat on a trapeze, the perfect balance of Power and Flexibility is necessary to achieve the outstanding Performance that Super Power users demand. To meet this...

XTREME: Gain and output taken to the limit! Children and adults with maximum hearing loss need hearing instruments that can accurately transmit critical speech information into their limited residual hearing range. The challenge is to combine exceptionally high gain and output levels with excellent frequency shaping exibility. Power is the foundation Pure power is the rst requirement for a Super Power hearing instrument. XTREME is one of the strongest hearing instruments on the market with an incredible peak MPO of 144 dB SPL and peak gain of 85 dB. When power is required, XTREME delivers....

Flexibility to t narrow dynamic ranges The second requirement for a Super Power instrument is exibility. XTREME has ve channels of advanced digital signal processing that are freely adjustable to provide accurate hearing loss compensation. Gain for soft, medium and loud sounds is combined with the required compression to map sounds precisely to the reduced dynamic range of Amplification without flexibility the user. Gain shaping in each channel is independent of MPO shaping, assuring that both gain and output can be precisely mapped to meet individual needs without sacricing audibility or...

Extremely FLEXIBLE

Flexibility in a Volume Control Experienced Super Power users often prefer an analog-style volume control with end stops and clearly dened markings. This style is also easier for parents and caregivers to operate. Digital volume controls can offer exible performance but may be difcult for users to manipulate. XTREME’s Flexible Volume Control combines the best of both worlds. The analog-style wheel with integrated OFF function, 3 clearly visible level markings and end stops allows users to easily identify their typical volume control setting. It is also possible to lock the VC in the...

Effective Feedback Control Feedback is more likely to occur for Super Power users because of the high amplication levels they require. It is especially problematic because they may not be able to hear the feedback themselves. Two types of feedback Stationary feedback occurs due to high gain requirements and earmold t. Variable feedback occurs in response to sudden changes in the acoustic environment, such as receiving a hug. Both types can cause distortion of the sound signal for the user and annoyance to those around him. Turning down the volume or using notch ltering to eliminate feedback...

Effective Noise Reduction Background noise is often cited as the number one complaint of hearing instrument users. Noise can affect listening comfort, cause listening fatigue and interfere with speech understanding. To combat the effects of background noise, XTREME offers two advanced systems: Adaptive Noise Reduction Soft Noise Management High levels of background noise can be uncomfortable and can also interfere with speech understanding. XTREME offers Adaptive Noise Reduction to maintain listening comfort in loud noise. XTREME’s sophisticated Adaptive Noise Reduction system operates in 8...

Designed for the user Super Power users need instruments that are uncomplicated and user friendly. They also need reliable instruments that can stand up to the high demands of all day wear, every day. XTREME is simple to operate with a sturdy housing that is tough enough for kids aged 0 to 99. XTREME offers a wide variety of user options to satisfy your customers: Volume Control XTREME offers a Flexible Volume Control with analog-style functionality that is easy to operate. Includes OFF-Function. Program switch A simple 3-position switch allows the user to change programs quickly and...

Connected and ready to go XTREME can be connected to external sound sources such as MP3 players, computers, television, stereo systems, cell phones with Bluetooth capability and more via a DAI (Direct Audio Input) shoe that attaches easily to the hearing instrument. The dedicated DAI shoe has a sensitivity control and 4 volume levels to optimize performance with a wide variety of inputs. Personal FM systems are also popular for adults with severe-to-profound hearing impairment who require enhanced communication capabilities for business and social purposes. XTREME is compatible with...

Extremely PRECISE

Precision Fitting Super Power ttings are challenging because there is often a ne line between audibility and over-amplication. That’s why precision is so important in all aspects of the tting. What you see is what you get For those with severe and profound hearing loss, every decibel counts to maximize audibility. The margin for error is much smaller for hearing instrument users in this group because of the extremely limited range of residual hearing. This means that the accuracy of the software simulations and targets is critical for both children and adults. XTREME has the most...

Software – the Performance behind the Fitting The greatest performances require the right support behind the scenes. OASIS plus is Bernafon’s outstanding tting software, designed to incorporate every tool you need to t any Bernafon product. Simple, yet sophisticated OASIS plus provides a logical and intuitive tting ow that makes navigation easy, while at the same time offering the sophisticated tools you need for precise ttings. The Client module contains all the information that is specic to the patient. The Lifestyle Prole helps to identify the individual’s most important listening goals...
