High fidelity sound
Allows hearing aids to detect sounds at very high or low pitches, or very loud or soft levels. Can tailor the sound quality for better music enjoyment.
Enables hearing aids to:
- detect very high or low frequency sounds
- detect very loud or soft level sounds
- tailor the sound quality to increase or enhance enjoyment of music.
Manufacturers may use the following terms:
- music programs
- extended frequency range
- extended dynamic range.
Frequency shaping
Makes the sound better, so it's more like what we naturally hear. Manufacturers may use the following terms:
- binaural cue preservation
- spatial cue preservation
- streamed audio equalisation.
Frequency lowering
Frequency lowering uses technology to change the pitch of certain sounds so you can hear them more easily.
Manufacturers may use the following terms:
- frequency lowering transposition
- linear transposition
- frequency compression.
Sound delivery
Physical parts of the hearing aid that allow the sound to be sent to your ear. These can include tubes, domes/tips and earhooks.
Manufacturers may use the following terms:
- coupling
- tubing
- moulds
- domes
- sleeves
- earhooks
- receivers
- RIC
- in-the-ear.
CROS/BiCROS artificial intelligence
Uses smart computing to find patterns to help find settings or solutions you like. It can also help make decisions about your hearing aids for you. Uses information such as your location or past settings choices.
Manufacturers may use the following terms:
- artificial intelligence
- machine learning
- neural networks
- deep learning.
