Mobility

You’ve come to expect the best value and quality technology from MicroTech. Whether we’re tackling feedback with our renowned feedback canceller, or taking on noise with our innovative noise reduction and speech preservation system, you can be sure we’re always making our technology an easy choice for you and your patients.

Technology Features

• SpeechTrax²

  With SpeechTrax², we’ve nearly doubled the noise reduction capability of our leading noise reduction and speech preservation system while still maintaining speech. SpeechTrax²:

  • Instantly applies variable noise adaptation in all channels between each pause

  • Has been proven to reduce listening effort and cognitive fatigue when used in tandem with Dynamic Directional Detection*

  • Provides up to 20dB of noise reduction

• Binaural Spatial Mapping

  IRIS^TM Technology leverages a unique ear-to-ear communication protocol. Binaural Spatial Mapping applies the combined speed and power of multiple dual-core platforms to achieve parallel processing benefits. This new protocol queries, analyzes and maps the acoustic space surrounding the patient, applying the appropriate signal processing strategy for directionality and noise management. Binaural Spatial Mapping can only be accomplished with inputs from two hearing aids and is designed to:

  • Boost the performance of our Acoustic Landscape, which includes Dynamic Directional Detection, Adaptive Environmental Sequencing and SpeechTrax²

  • Provide more accurate allocation of the ear-to-ear resources

  • Optimize the signal-to-noise ratio at each ear

• Synchronized User Adjustments

  Clinicians can program a single aid to adjust volume or memory for both – eliminating the need to manually change two instruments. Additionally, Binaural Telephone Mode automatically places the phone-side hearing aid to Automatic Telephone Response or Telecoil mode while attenuating the off-side hearing aid.

• FrequencyTrax

  A smart solution for patients who have steeply sloping, high-frequency hearing loss, our new frequency lowering technology, FrequencyTrax, is designed to enhance real-time audibility by intelligently identifying high-frequency speech cues, then replicating them in lower frequencies. This allows Mobility to maintain important frequency relationships, retaining the sound quality that comes from harmonic distribution while providing audibility for high-frequency speech cues for patients that may have previously been considered unaidable.

• Sound Enhancements
  

  We've updated our signal processing architecture to enhance the overall sound quality and efficiency of Mobility, including new vent modeling, automatic vent detection, improved compression and updated eSTAT targets.

• SpeechTrax Boost

  Activated via SurfLink^TM Remote, our SpeechTrax Boost feature allows patients to enable aggressive noise reduction while optimizing sound quality in extremely noisy situations.

• Self Learning

  Thanks to Self Learning, Mobility gradually and automatically learns patient volume control preferences in each active memory, which helps reduce the number of manual control adjustments the patient needs to make.

• Swap Fit

  Our Swap Fit fitting function allows you to transfer patient settings from their current MicroTech product to a new one — enabling more time for fine-tuning and counseling.

• Strategic Feedback Control

  This leading technology ensures wide fitting ranges and a fast response to more complex feedback. With up to 28dB of added stable gain*, Strategic Feedback Control makes open ear fittings an option for more patients than ever before.

• HydraShield^®2

  We added advanced oleophobic properties to our HydraShield nanocoating to better protect Mobility standard hearing aids from earwax and other oily substances. The result is HydraShield^®2, a new oleophobic nanocoating that, combined with Mobility’s unibody construction and smart component placement, makes them more reliable and durable than ever before.

• Hear Clear™ with HydraShield²

  This innovative moisture protection system enables all Mobility custom wireless products to provide unprecedented resistance to wax and water.

• Adaptive Environmental Sequencing

  Based on clinical performance measures and patient-proven results, our industry-leading directional system is designed to perform best in highly complex backgrounds of noise.

• Live Real Ear Measurement

  MicroTech’s pioneering fitting system, Live Real Ear Measurement provides a prescriptively appropriate fitting for every Mobility product. Combined with the power of Inspire^® fitting software, it lets you see the hearing aid output in your patient’s ear in real-ear SPL. Live Real Ear is the only solution integrated into a hearing aid for verifying the audibility of your hearing aid fitting.
