  • Tips:
    • Check ear canal for wax/debris.
    • Check receiver direction and canal length.
    • Reduce vent.

Background Noise

  • Adaptive: Increase level of Adaptive Noise Reduction.
  • Equalizer: Decrease Gain at 200 & 500 Hz.
  • Compression: Decrease MPO in all channels (Added MPO as new setting. — Jenny Sudduth 2008/09/10 12:29 )
  • Compression: Increase Compression Ratio in Channels 1, 2, & 3.
  • Compression: Increase TK in all channels 1, 2, & 3. (Added TK as new setting. — Jenny Sudduth 2008/09/10 12:29 )
  • Equalizer: Increase Gain at 1.5 - 3.5 kHz.
  • Decrease Overall Gain.

* Tips: * If these programming solutions are insufficient, please call Audina to discuss the value of directional microphones (if not already in use). (Removed Tips and last statement: Unnecessary. — Jenny Sudduth 2008/09/10 12:29 )
