Changing loudness of sounds
NOTE
Sensitivity may not be available on your sound processor. Please
contact your clinician for more information.
Microphone sensitivity and volume control the loudness levels of the
sounds you hear.
Depending on how your clinician has set up your programs, you can use
the processor buttons (Advanced option only) to:
•
Change microphone sensitivity only.
•
Change volume only.
The new microphone sensitivity or volume levels you choose will be
saved for each program.
Controlling microphone sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity controls the softest level of sound picked up
by the microphones. If your clinician has enabled you to change the
sensitivity, you can:
•
Reduce the sensitivity of the sound to reduce background noise in
noisy situations.
•
Increase the sensitivity of the sound to hear very soft sounds in
quiet situations.
If your clinician has enabled the Advanced option, press the upper
button to increase sensitivity. To decrease sensitivity, press the lower
button. If your processor has the Simple option, you can use the remote
assistant to change sensitivity.
Controlling volume
Volume controls your perception of loudness. If your clinician has
enabled you to change the volume, you can:
•
Reduce the volume if sounds are uncomfortably loud.
•
Increase the volume if speech, including your own voice, is
too soft.
