Suggestions for using Compression [CPS]
Using this feature ensures the level of sound produced by the device will be restricted
(compressed) to t the dynamic range requirement of a client. Here are examples of the
effect of the three settings:
Please note that it is likely that the output level will increase when CPS is activated.
The client’s preferred volume level setting will decrease as the CPS level increases.
If the client uses a hearing aid, the following settings are recommend as a starting
point for improved intelligibility.
