Speech in small-group setting. Speech in large-group setting. Speech with ambient noise. Quiet environment. Noisy environment. SurroundSupervisor s optimal environmental mix, ie, the proportional blend of seven standard situations, is a crucial factor in determining final hearing system settings. This mix serves as an input variable for AutoSurround. Fixed programs are a thing of the past: AutoSurround uses the SurroundSupervisor input along with individually chosen parameter settings (A and B) to generate the perfect acoustic mix. Top-quality binaural signal processing: The integrated primary SpeechBeam+ and SurroundOptimizer (B) functions are continuously exchanging information with one another. The result. An acoustically perfect blend in every situation. Perfect speech clarity. Ideal sound. 360 hearing. Day-to-day life is multifaceted; acoustic situations change very quickly. Creating an optimal, natural hearing experience means taking these everyday realities into account both when identifying environments and when processing situations. 7 Music. A classifier that has it all: With over 30 high-resolution sensors, SurroundSupervisor can identify any acoustic situation and reproduce it by blending parameters for seven weighted standard situations. The result is more precise and realistic than ever before. This, along with high-resolution signal processing allows the wearer to enjoy 360 of completely natural hearing.

8 HD technology highlights. SurroundSupervisor. Top-quality spatial acoustics optimization. The SurroundSupervisor acts as an interface between the hearing system and the environment, ensuring perfectly optimized spatial acoustics. The program integrates authentically into the hearing system wearer s everyday activities by analyzing and identifying the environment. More than 30 high-resolution sensors make the results more precise than ever before: the SurroundSupervisor analyzes the current surroundings and determines the correct proportions of each of seven possible standard situations: four speech situations, two more situations without speech, and music. It passes this percentage distribution onward to the signal processing block so that it can serve as an input variable for AutoSurround. AutoSurroundHD. Continuously variable and automatic for the perfect acoustic mix. As a core function, AutoSurround is one of the keys to the new ease of hearing. The integrated primary SpeechBeam+ and SurroundOptimizer functions are in a constant state of intelligent exchange, thus ensuring top-quality binaural signal processing. Regardless of what situation the hearing system wearer is in, AutoSurround identifies the circumstances and automatically adjusts hearing system settings. The percentages specified by SurroundSupervisor help decide how the hearing system is ultimately set. Best of all, fixed programs are a thing of the past. AutoSurround uses previously identified individual parameter settings to create the perfect acoustic mix. The result is a completely natural sense of hearing in 360 degrees. Nothing can stand in the way of active hearing experiences in any situation. The optimal environmental mix: a snapshot of the current acoustic situation. The blend of up to seven weighted standard situations precisely reflects the wearer s current acoustic environment. 1 Speech in quiet environment 2 Speech in small-group setting 3 Speech in large-group setting 4 Speech with ambient noise 5 Quiet environment 6 Noisy environment 7 Music AutoSurround 9* 7* 5* 3* Speech in quiet environment Speech with ambient noise Speech in large-group setting Quiet environment Noisy environment Music Speech in small-group setting * Available performance levels.

9 HD technology highlights. SurroundOptimizerHD. Optimized speech clarity and sound comfort in noise. SpeechBeam+. For a better speech clarity from every direction. SurroundOptimizer can be set individually for any situation. It optimizes the two most important acoustic requirements that hearing system users have for their hearing systems: Speech clarity in environments with background noise Hearing comfort To achieve this ideal, SurroundOptimizer intelligently coordinates four effective features. The result is a parameter composed of: Amplification settings: Each of the seven situations is associated with a defined change in amplification. In music environments this change is made based on the preferred music style defined in scout. Music styles Universal Music styles Country Jazz/Blues Classical Rock/Pop Oftentimes in real world environments, the speaker is not directly in front of the hearing system wearer. Speech comes in from all different directions, so it is not enough for the hearing system to have a technical focus towards the front. SpeechBeam+ perfects the functions of the SurroundOptimizer and ensures natural speech clarity in acoustically challenging environments without sacrificing sound comfort. SpeechBeam+ is activated as soon as the hearing system identifies speech with background noise components. It is capable of determining the direction of speech all around the wearer. For the hearing system wearer, this translates to 360 hearing: Thanks to cutting-edge binaural signal processing, the hearing system can localize speech from the front, from behind, or from the side. The two hearing systems work together to provide maximum accuracy. Different microphone characteristics are activated depending on the direction of speech. ConversationLift and Background Noise Manager settings remain unchanged. Speech enhancement (ConversationLift/SpeechLift): The light gray bars in scout show the speech enhancement effects for every situation and every selected value. Ambient noise reduction via the Background Noise Manager: The dark gray bars in scout show the ambient noise reduction effects for every situation and every selected value. Microphone setting controls: If desired, the microphone mode to be used can be preselected and this choice will be accounted for when making adjustments. No dominant speakers. Both hearing systems adaptive directional. Speech from the front. Both hearing systems adaptive directional. Speech from the side. Side facing away from speaker: adaptive directional. Side facing speaker: Pinna (omnidirectional with directionality in high frequencies for more natural sound). These functions are intelligently adapted to one another to provide hearing system users with the perfect results. In the scout fitting software, these parameters help provide convenient, precise regulation of speech clarity and hearing comfort. Speech from behind. Both hearing systems omnidirectional

10 scout. The key to the new ease of hearing. Success pre-programmed with scout. Intuitive initial adjustment with scout. Acclimatization Manager for a comfortable adjustment. scout supports the initial adjustment for your customers with a display interface which combines the most important information for you, with important customer information and the audiogram visible at a glance. A simple selection of hearing experience suffices. scout flows your selection into FirstFit and Acclimatization Manager intelligently and in the optimum way for your customers. For you this means that you can continue the adjustment with just one click. The Acclimatization Manager increases amplification until the defined target value is achieved. After the preset with BalanceFit, this is always 100%. The acclimatization process always considers the age of the customer, the hearing loss and the experience of hearing systems. Over a specified period the amplification will be adjusted towards the target value. The length of the adjustment period can be selected between»5% change per week«to»5% change in six months«. Inaudible changes, always with optimum sound quality and increasing speech recognition, are the result. The software displays the progress in the follow-up appointments. scout also provides the appropriate working base for a follow-up appointment. A display interface has been developed for this purpose which amalgamates the most important customer data that has been acquired.
