UNDERSTANDING HEARING LOSS

As hearing loss develops, it becomes difficult to hear the soft parts of speech. Many consonant sounds like ‘f’ and ‘p’ are not heard—even by a person with a mild hearing loss. Our brain will automatically guess and try to fill in the missing parts.Unfortunately, we can sometimes guess incorrectly, which can be very embarrassing and stressful.

BACKGROUND NOISE MAGNIFIES A HEARING PROBLEM

Hearing conversation in a noisy environment can be difficult even with normal hearing. But understanding speech in a noisy environment for a person with any level of hearing loss becomes very difficult. Many people with hearing loss will withdraw from many social situations because of the stress of trying to hear in a noisy environment.

Hearing Speech and Reducing Noise

Automatic adjustments... Inside the SeboTek hearing instrument is a mini-computer capable of both monitoring voice and noise levels in your environment to maximize amplification of voices, while at the same time, reducing distracting background noise. SeboTek is committed to provide the most advanced technology possible for maximizing your comfort and hearing ability in all environments. This is accomplished through the following combination of very advanced digital features.

Advanced Feedback Cancellation

Feedback is the high pitch whistle that can occur when a microphone and speaker are close together. The SeboTek feedback cancellation feature is a fast acting circuit that automatically detects feedback and electronically eliminates it before it ever becomes audible.

Advanced Directional Microphone System

This advanced feature helps you to focus on the sounds you want to hear while simultaneously reducing unwanted noise. For example, in a noisy restaurant, the SeboTek directional microphones are able to both block the amplification of the sounds behind you as well as amplify the conversation immediately in front of you. This can be achieved at the touch of a button, or automatically in Auto-Focus mode, an optional feature which automatically detects the change in background noise and adjusts the direction of the microphones for you, hands free.

Voice Priority Adaptive Noise Reduction

This advanced digital technology recognizes the difference between noise and speech. Your listening environment is constantly monitored for both voice and noise. Once the sounds are identified, the Voice Priority Noise Reduction feature automatically adjusts and optimizes the speech and noise levels for your surroundings.
