Using the Set 860
24 | Set 860
Selecting a hearing profile for sound enhancement
The hearing profiles allow you to alter the sound of the audio signal
in order to improve the speech intelligibility and to adjust the sound
to suit your preferences. The profiles are used to specifically change
certain frequency ranges by e.g. boosting or attenuating low-fre-
quency or high-frequency tones.
All hearing profiles feature a compression function which compen-
sates for volume differences by boosting the volume of quiet pas-
sages and reducing the volume of loud passages if necessary.
Displaying the activated hearing profile
The activated hearing profile is not permanently displayed.
To check the activate hearing profile:
E Switch the stethoset receiver on by putting it on (see page 19).
E Briefly press the
Hearing profile
button on the transmitter.
The currently activated hearing profile is displayed for 10 sec-
onds.
The balance setting is saved on the stethoset receiver. If you
are using several receivers with a transmitter, the respective
receivers are optimally adjusted to match the personal hear-
ing preferences of the users (e.g. you and your partner).
Please note that the personal hearing preferences can only be
adjusted when only stethoset receiver is connected to the
transmitter.
