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
Advanced Bionics for more information.
COUNSELLING AND FITTING RECOMMENDATIONS:
 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 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 program and can be enabled in other programs.
 AutoSense OS: The intent of the AutoSense program is to classify the listening environment and
activate sound processing features based on the listening environment. The AutoSense program
is enabled by default as the start-up program.
Cautions
 UltraZoom is a beamforming algorithm; therefore, by design it focuses to the front and dampens
sound from the side and back of the recipient.
 The Naída CI sound processor is designed so it can be worn in an off-ear wearing configuration.
We do not recommend the processor be worn in the off-ear wearing configuration while using
any beamforming algorithm.
Note: In the United States, auto UltraZoom is approved for use in pediatric recipients 6 years and above
who are 1) 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.

Users of the Naída CI M30 sound processor in the European Union should report any serious
incident to their local competent authority.
