Sweep Technology

'With Sweep™ Technology, changing volume and settings is as easy as a simple sweep or touch of the finger. Sweep Technology provides hearing instrument users with a new, intuitive way to adjust their hearing device, replacing all of the traditional hearing instrument buttons and dials with an innovative touch surface that allows the user to adjust volume up or down and change memories with the sweep or touch of a finger. Put simply, sweeping a finger up increases the volume, sweeping down decreases the volume and memory setting adjustments are made with a simple touch of the surface. Even users with limited dexterity can easily change their hearing instruments' settings.'

Drive Architecture

Drive Architecture is an exciting, advanced, new technology. It uses multi-core processing, similar to the technology in today's most advanced computers, to provide three times more power than previous technologies for the best performance.

Drive Architecture takes features that were already best-in-class to an entirely new level, offering comfortable, high-resolution sound with smoother, seamless transitions between quiet and loud environments. The complex programs in the instrument eliminate feedback, provide optimal performance in noise, enhance telephone listening and keep track of information about the hearing instrument itself.

Advanced Programming for Every Situation

Chances are you can hear the voices that are directly in front of you when in quiet situations, but have trouble when the noise level increases, like when you are in a restaurant with family and friends. The most advanced modern digital hearing instruments are designed to constantly analyse the sounds of various environments and automatically select the appropriate programming mode for specific situations. InVision Directionality is a feature that ensures your device can classify and react to a wide range of environmental sounds to provide comfort and better understanding in even the noisiest situations.

No More Intrusive Background Noise and Feedback

The biggest problem hearing instrument wearers experience is that annoying whistling called feedback, which can be caused by any number of things, such as hugging a loved one, having the hearing instrument brushed by hair, or simply being outside on a windy day. Thanks to a breakthrough feature called PureWave Feedback Eliminator, your hearing instrument from ihear will virtually eliminate buzzing and whistling.

Optimal Listening on the Phone

Anyone who wears hearing instruments knows telephone conversations can sometimes be difficult. With Automatic Telephone Solutions, your hearing instrument from ihear will virtually eliminate feedback while automatically adjusting for optimal communication on the telephone.

More Effective Adjustments with Data Logging

Hearing instruments require adjustments for the best possible results. A feature called data logging makes it easier for your ihear professional to fine-tune your hearing device so it suits your day-to-day requirements.

A hearing instrument from ihear incorporates data logging to track the hearing device's performance over time. Your ihear professional can download information directly from the device to perform ongoing analysis and adjustments. In other words, the longer you use your hearing instrument the better it gets.
