TINNI MASK technology
Tinnitus - a disease caused by a wide range of
reasons, and expressed in the emergence of
so-called «noise in ears». This kind of noise com-
plicates the situation of many people with hearing
impairments, exacerbating their problems with
perception and decoding the audio stream. Innovative design
solution of company Aurica – built tinnitus-musker - helps
to eliminate the inconvenience of having to use two different
devices.
CLICK FREE technology
Technologies that are used in NanoTrim, guaran-
tee the user a clear work of the aid and comfort
in any situation. As quickly as possible to adapt
in complicated sound environment allows function
Click Free, which eliminates unpleasant clicks
EVOKE LITE technology
Evoke Lite («light awakening» - in English) - this
is an additional comfort and convenience of

entering the inside, does not wet the surface of the electronic
components, and simply evaporates over time.
3D PLAZMA technology
The unique technology of 3D Plazma - reliable
protection against moisture and dirt ! Most hear-
ing aids afraid of water. Drops of water or sweat,
falling on the body, penetrate and lead to failure
of the important elements of the device (chip,

mode conduct analysis of input acoustic signal. Advanced
algorithm allows to accurately determine the occurrence of
feedback. Suppressing signal is generated by method which
allows to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of feedback in
the output signal without the loss of gain.
ADAP TUNE technology
Another problem more which are faced the us-

NOISE OFF technology
System of stratied noise reduction Noise Off
minimizes ambient noises and makes the process
of speech perception easier and more comfortable
even with excessive background noise.
SOFT SILENCE technology
Clear sound without interference, without noise
bothers - it is one of the major tasks that must
handle modern hearing aid.
With the help of system Soft Silence in devices
NanoTrim is suppressed as internal noise of
hearing aid (noise of microphone amplier) as external (the
rustling of paper, the hum of the fan, etc.), while it is not
distorted of speech, which greatly reduces fatigue when using
a hearing aid.

Getting used to your HA
Buying a hearing aid, bare in mind that it will take some time to get
used to new sounds and sensations. How much time this process will
take depends on the individual peculiarities of an organism, on the
level of hearing loss, on the time spent using HA, etc. If you have
started feeling discomfort while using HA , you need to lower the
volume or turn it off and take a break.
While watching TV set the volume to a medium level. If you have
hard time distinguishing sounds, turn the volume up using the volume
regulator. However, you should remember ,that turning the volume
up very high doesn’t always improve your perception of speech,
but can cause sudden fatigue and can provoke the deterioration of
hearing.
In a noisy environment it’s pretty hard to distinguish certain words,
so don’t be shy to ask again.
