Platinum Series Sound Processor
Your audiologist will demonstrate the adjustable controls of the Platinum Series
Sound Processor (PSP) and instruct you on appropriate settings.
Figure 1: Platinum Series Sound Processor.
Program Control
The program control, on the left side of the control panel, is used to turn the
processor on and off, to select one of three programs, and to test the headpiece
microphone. The dots on the program selector represent different programs on
the processor programmed by your audiologist. The single
represents program
# 1,
represents program # 2, and represents program # 3. Your audiologist
will determine how many programs are appropriate and instruct you on when to
use each program. The
position represents the headpiece microphone tester
function detailed in the “Using the Platinum Series Sound Processor” section of this
manual. The (o) position will turn the processor off.
Volume Control
The volume control, indicated by and located to the right of the program
control, allows the user to adjust the loudness level of the processor. Turning the
control to the left (toward the smaller end of the scale) decreases the volume.
Turning the control to the right (toward the larger end of the scale) increases the
volume. The volume range (how soft to how loud the volume can be adjusted) is
programmed for you by your audiologist.
During your programming session, the audiologist will program your processor
so that the 12:00 position on the volume dial represents your most comfortable
loudness level.
