HD 295 RIC Digital Hearing Aid
Overview
Suitable for those with a mild to moderate hearing loss, the HD295 is an easy to use, programmable, receiver-in-canal digital hearing aid featuring mid-range technology. ItÕs discreet, comfortable to wear and will enhance your listening experience so you can get on with living life to the full.
Key Features
Looks
The HD295 is a receiver-in-canal (RIC) digital hearing aid. Receiver-in-canal means that the speaker component (receiver) sits in the ear canal, and is joined to the rest of the hearing aid seated behind-the-ear via a thin wire. Because one of the main components is no longer in the casing behind-the-ear, the overall size can be kept compact, whilst still offering dual microphones, and a bigger battery than a non-RIC equivalent.
The beige-coloured HD295 offers a discreet fitting. A variety of different domes for the end of the wire are supplied to ensure the speaker wire sits comfortably in the ear canal.
Sounds
Suitable for those with a mild to moderate hearing loss, the HD295 analyses incoming sound in 12 frequency areas to reproduce a clear, amplified result. In our standard setting, high tones are boosted up more than lower bass tones. There are also 4 volume levels created, to offer a range for some adjustment at home.
Directional microphones provide a forward focus of amplification for better speech pick-up in noisy environments. More amplification is given to sounds from the front microphone than to sound coming from the back one; creating an improved signal-to-noise ratio for the wearer.
A noise reduction algorithm is also constantly active, helping to provide better listening comfort in noise.
If you have sent us your audiogram in advance the 4 volume levels will be based on the profile of your audiogram:
- Setting 1 is set 2dB softer than the software’s recommendation for the audiogram to give a softer option on startup.
- Setting 2 is as per audiogram recommendation.
- Setting 3 is 2-3dB louder than setting 2.
- Setting 4 is 2-3dB louder than setting 3.
If you do not have an audiogram; our default setting, suitable for a mild to moderate, high-frequency hearing loss is used to create the 4 settings.
