Bliss
Fully delightful
Featuring the latest in digital
sound processing technologies,
Bliss raises the standards for
the best hearing experience
possible. Bliss includes
sophisticated features, yet
keeps operation simple.
It’s easy for you to fit and for
your patients to use.
An emphasis on speech clarity
Speech Variable Processing
preserves the nuances of speech –
the soft and loud sounds that occur
in every word. These small details
enhance overall speech clarity
and create rich, full, natural sound.
No more whistle and squeal
Feedback is a thing of the past with
Bliss. The Adaptive Feedback
Canceller attacks feedback before
it starts. Bliss removes offending
signals – often before they are
even heard – for squeal-free,
easy listening.
Technologies to remove
unwanted noise
Bliss uses multiple systems
to identify and reduce sounds
that could be noisy distractions.
• Sophisticated Directional
Systems reduce unwanted noise
so patients can stay engaged in
their surroundings
• Speech Priority Noise Reduction
works to separate speech
from surrounding noise,
making conversations
comfortable and clear
• Impulse Noise Reduction
suppresses unexpected
loud sounds, like the clinking
of silverware or jangling
of keys
• Soft Noise Reduction reduces
low-level sounds like the whir
of a fan or hum of a refrigerator
• Wind Noise Reduction makes
time spent outdoors more
enjoyable by preventing wind
sounds from being amplified
Blissfully simple programming

patients to use, it’s equally simple
for you to program with the
EXPRESSfit fitting software.

make it simple to configure
listening programs for common
situations
• Data Logging makes it simple
to fine-tune Bliss based on
actual wear data
