oticon Sumo XP, Fittings Manual

Volume Control

allows on-screen adjustment of the instrument's VC during the fitting. Manual

operation overrides the on-screen setting of the VC and vice versa.

VC range

sets the available range between position 1 and 4 of the volume control. Choices are

Full (30 dB), Half (15 dB) and Disabled (no range). The Full range is the default setting.

Fitting tips:

1)

Before reducing the range, make

sure that appropriate gain is fitted in
the Full range, and that the VC is set
to preferred level.

2)

When changing VC Range, consider

the listening environments the client
is exposed to during the day. If the
loudness of the sound level changes
often and varies widely, then “Half”
range might not be a good solution,
because the client might not be able
to sufficiently decrease the volume 
if the enviroment becomes uncomfort-
ably loud.

3)

Clients who have difficulty with

adjusting inside the “Full” range, 
and who are not exposed to varied 
listening situations, might benefit
from “Half” range or “Disabled” 
setting.
