Setting Your Ideal Volume
Element hearing instruments equipped with manual
volume control have an ideal volume indicator. A single
beep indicates when the volume control has reached its
ideal level for your particular hearing loss, as pre-set by
your hearing healthcare professional.
Listening in Windy Environments
Element’s wind noise manager will engage automatically
based on whether wind conditions are moderate or high.
When the wind noise manager is engaged, sounds such as
speech, may become quieter because the wind noise
manager is working to reduce the loud noise produced by
the wind. When you are no longer in a windy environment,
the wind noise manager will not be active and desirable
sounds, such as speech, will once again become louder.
Listening in Quiet and Noisy Environments
Your Element hearing devices may have a directional
microphone system to meet your listening needs in
different environments. The directional system focuses
on sounds in front of you (i.e., speech) while reducing
sounds from the sides or behind you (i.e., noise). Your
Element may have an advanced directional microphone
system that adjusts automatically to changing noise
levels and tracks moving noise sources. Your hearing
healthcare professional can tell you how your directional
system has been customized for you and which listening
programs have the directional microphones activated.
