Use Instructions

noisy environments, although one of these subjects agreed that sound quality was acceptable and
listening was comfortable in noise. These questionnaire results indicate that the sound processor is
acceptable for use and satisfies users’ listening needs.
In the United States, ClearVoice is approved for pediatric use in children 6 years and above who 1) are
able to complete objective speech perception testing in order to determine speech performance and 2)
are able to report a preference for different coding strategies or features.
ClearVoice is only available in markets where ClearVoice has received regulatory approval. Contact

COUNSELLING AND FITTING RECOMMENDATIONS:
 WindBlock: The intent of the WindBlock sound processing feature is to reduce wind noise
arriving at the microphone to improve comfort and ease listening when listening in the presence
of wind. This is an automatic feature that is enabled in the AutoSense Sky program and can be
enabled in other programs.
 SoundRelax: The intent of the SoundRelax sound processing feature is to quickly respond to
sudden and/or unexpected sounds. This is an automatic feature that is enabled in the
AutoSense Sky program and can be enabled in other programs.
 EchoBlock: The intent of the EchoBlock sound processing feature is to improve comfort and ease
of listening when listening in environments with a high degree of reverberation or echo. This is
an automatic feature that is enabled in the AutoSense Sky program and can be enabled in other
programs.
 UltraZoom: The intent of the UltraZoom sound processing feature is to improve the signal to
enhance listening when focused on a person speaking in front of you. In the AutoSense Sky
program, the feature will automatically enter or exit this mode depending on the surrounding
noise in the environment. In other programs, UltraZoom can be enabled in a static mode.
 StereoZoom: The StereoZoom feature is designed only for use with bilateral recipients. The
intent of this feature is to use a bilateral beamformer to create a narrow beam to focus on one
person in front of you when in a noisy environment. This is an automatic feature that is enabled
in the AutoSense Sky program and can be enabled in other programs.
 Real Ear Sound: The intent of the Real Ear Sound sound processing feature is to simulate the
natural sound quality of the T-Mic microphone. Real Ear Sound is active in quieter listening
environments when the T-Mic microphone is not in use.
 WhistleBlock: The intent of the WhistleBlock sound processing feature is to minimize acoustic
feedback that can occur when the M Acoustic Earhook is used with the Sky CI M90 sound
processor. This is an automatic feature.
 NoiseBlock: The intent of the NoiseBlock sound processing feature is to improve comfort when
listening in noisy environments. This is an automatic feature that is available when the M
Acoustic Earhook is in use. It is enabled in the AutoSense Sky program and can be enabled in
other programs.
