Soundpro 2.0

Customizing Soundpro 2.0

Soundpro ModeThe default setting, Balanced Focus, should be maintained during First Fit. If changes are required during follow up visits, proceed as follows:

To shift the focus toward environmental sounds, move the slider to the left. You have 3 steps available.

This classification will more often choose microphone modes with less directionality.
This is more beneficial for people that require full processing support only in very demanding situations.
To increase the focus on speech components, move the slider to the right. You have 3 steps available.
This classification will more often choose microphone modes with more directionality and stronger noise reduction.
This is more beneficial for people that face challenges understanding speech even at low noise levels.

Manual Offsets
Changing these offsets will affect all acoustic environments where that component is present. (i.e. Noise as part of Speech in Noise or Noise as part of Background Noise, etc.).
Select the component to change
Select a number of handles
Click on the up or down arrows as needed These changes are made in 1 dB steps

Intelligent Feedback Preventer

Feedback Reduction Strategies
If feedback conditions exist there are several ways to make adjustments.

Strategy 1

Intelligent Feedback Preventer

This feature is on Fast by default for maximum You may change from Fast (default) to Slow for people that require specialized sound processing, such as musicians.

Strategy 2

Perform a Critical Gain Measurement and
Optimize
Insert hearing aids into the wearer’s ears.

Click on Critical Gain Tab in the First Fit screen to open
Click on Start
- The system will optimize the Automatic program. As other programs are added, they will also be optimized if required. Optimizing may or may not affect the gain of the hearing aid. If there is a significant overlay of the critical gain area and the hearing aid response, it is advisable to consider changing to a different style of dome, sleeve or custom mold and recalculate the fit.
Repeat for the other ear

In situations where the current settings are prone to feedback, optimization may affect the hearing aid’s response to the point of being unable to reach targets on REM. In this situation, change your Acoustical parameters (both physically and in the software) and/or receiver power.
