PhoneNow™PhoneNow™PhoneNow is a feature that automatically switches the hearing instrument to a phone program. If there is no telecoil in the hearing instrument, an acoustic phone program with a frequency response optimized for use with the phone is selected. If the hearing instrument also contains a telecoil, PhoneNow can be programmed to switch to inductive transmission of the phone signal through the telecoil. Regardless of the presence or absence of a telecoil in the hearing instrument, PhoneNow is activated through a small magnet that is affixed to the phone receiver.

Low Frequency Boost: UltimateLow Frequency BoostUP receiver only
DirectionalityDirectionalityDepending on the types and number of microphones a hearing aid has, the hearing aid may be able to boost sounds from specific directions (by reducing sounds from other directions). This can be helpful to focus on a speaker directly in front of the hearing aid user, as well as to give the user information about where different sounds are coming from.

Adjustable directional mixAdjustable directional mixClinicians have the option of adjusting the Directional Mix (or crossover frequency) between omnidirectional and directional processingAutoscope Adaptive Directionality™Autoscope Adaptive Directionality™AutoScope monitors the relative levels of sounds coming from different directions to automatically adjust the width of the directional beam.Binaural Directionality™ IIIBinaural Directionality™ IIIBinaural Directionality III provides the ultimate balance for supporting natural hearing: a signal-to-noise ratio improvement similar to bilateral directional microphones and a significant benefit in ease of listening compared to other directional microphone strategies.Directional Mix ProcessorDirectional Mix ProcessorDirectional Mix Processing gives hearing aid wearers rich overall sound quality, and helps people localize sound. It is the engine that enables us to provide all the benefits of directionality while maintaining natural-sounding voices.Synchronized SoftSwitching™Synchronized SoftSwitching™SoftSwitching (synchronized between ears) uses sound level and speech detection algorithms to decide when directionality is likely to be advantageous in a certain listening environment. It also offers the same four selections of MultiScope beamwidth settings: the default AutoScope, Narrow, Medium and Wide. The SoftSwitching mode differs from MultiScope Adaptive Directionality in that it uses slower transitions between directional settings and the omnidirectional setting, which is sometimes more comfortable and preferable among certain hearing aid users.
Environmental AdaptationEnvironmental AdaptationThe hearing aid can detect different acoustical environments, like speech in noise, and adjust the sound of the hearing aid accordingly to drive comfort or speech understanding, etc.

Binaural Environmental Optimizer™ IIBinaural Environmental Optimizer™ IINoise reduction and gain adjustments are made based on environmental classification, and are synchronized and optimized between the two hearing aids. For optimal audibility and listening comfort in any sound environment.Environmental ClassifierEnvironmental ClassifierThe Environmental Classifier is the basis for precise noise reduction and exceptionally comfortable transitions between listening environments. It’s the only hearing aid system that analyzes patterns of energy to distinguish speech from other sounds.
ExpansionExpansionExpansion reduces audibility for very soft sounds. This can help to remove microphone noise, which is generated by soft environmental sounds.
No

Feedback SuppressionFeedback SuppressionIf any sound amplified by the hearing aid escapes the ear canal, it may reach the hearing aid’s own microphone and cause a harsh whistling noise. Some hearing aids are able to recognize when this feedback occurs and reduce or eliminate it.
No
DFS Ultra™ IIDFS Ultra™ IIDFS Ultra II analyzes and models the incoming sound and uses this information to prevent the feedback cancellation filters from attacking desired sounds. This results in excellent feedback cancellation performance without creating disturbing sound quality artifacts.Music Mode™Music Mode™The Music Mode feature in DFS Ultra II controls feedback while maintaining a more accurate representation of music. It provides excellent sound quality without tonal artifacts for hearing aid users who enjoy or play music, giving users a clearer, richer distortion-free music experience.
Frequency LoweringFrequency LoweringUnderstanding certain speech sounds is dependent on the high frequency parts of these sounds. For individuals with high frequency hearing loss, this feature can take high frequency speech information and move it to lower frequencies where it will be audible.
No
Sound ShaperSound ShaperSound Shaper is the only frequency compression technology that moves high-frequency sounds down in the spectrum while maintaining a proportional relationship between input and output frequencies. So Sound Shaper improves the audibility of speech cues that would otherwise be lost, while maintaining the best sound quality possible.

No
NoiseTracker™ II: UltimateNoiseTracker™ IINoiseTracker II uses a technology called spectral subtraction. Spectral subtraction works by subtracting the short-term noise spectrum from the signal, leaving only the speech portion behind ... ReSound’s NoiseTracker II is able to use spectral subtraction successfully because the Environmental Classifier has identified speech and noise so precisely.
Phone Ear FocusPhone Ear FocusWhen on a phone call, some hearing aids can focus amplification on the phone ear and reduce amplification in the non-phone ear.
No
Comfort Phone™Comfort Phone™Comfort Phone utilizes the bilateral wireless synchronization between hearing instruments to identify the “phone ear” and the “non-phone ear.” The amplification for the non-phone ear is then attenuated by 6 dB.
Power On DelayPower On DelayWhen you close the battery door to turn on your hearing aid, the hearing aid won't start producing sound for a certain amount of time. This can alleviate whistling (feedback) sound that sometimes occurs while inserting your hearing aid.
No
SmartStart™SmartStart™The SmartStart delays the switch-on time of your hearing instrument 10 seconds after you have closed the battery compartment. As you insert the instrument in your ear, you may hear beeps at one second intervals. After the instrument beeps ten times, it will turn on.

WARP compression: 17WARP compressionFrequency Warping is a technique to map the frequency analysis directly to a logarithmic scaling. By using appropriate warping parameters, we get a scaling that is very close to models of the critical bands of the human auditory system.
Wind Noise ReductionWind Noise ReductionAs wind blows against the microphones of hearing aids, unpleasant noise may be generated. Some hearing aids have the ability to recognize this wind noise and reduce its level. Such reductions may also affect the audibility of desired sounds, like speech.
No
Wind Guard: UltimateWind GuardWhen no wind noise is found, the hearing aid constantly updates and stores the sound input levels in each Warp band. Then, when wind is present, WindGuard calculates the amount of gain reduction needed to return to the stored level of the specific bands affected by wind noise.
