Veras - The Binaural Advantage
Veras allows true binaural hearing with instant wireless communication between the instruments. This means the user receives an accurate representation of the spatial dynamics of the sound scene, in the same way a normal hearing person would. To achieve this, Veras combines several fast- acting advanced technologies that are perfectly coordinated to mimic the natural hearing process.
Binaural ChannelFree™ performance
With ChannelFree™ as a basis, Veras constantly analyzes the sound environment, amplifying every detail at the phonemic level. In combination with automatic technologies, this results in a very accurate amplification.
Binaural environment coordination
The multi-environment functionality in Veras incorporates rapid binaural detection and coordination of the amplification parameters in each ear. Interaural time and level differences between the ears are preserved to improve the user’s ability to localize sounds in the constantly changing auditory scene. Coordinated shifts in the instrument parameters provide a smooth hearing response at all times.
Binaural wideband processing
There is much evidence that an extended bandwidth provides high-frequency cues that are vital to localization and to speech information. Veras amplifies up to 10 kHz, allowing full broadband benefits.
Binaural feedback cancellation
The binaural communication in Veras allows feedback detection to be coordinated between the instruments. This means that if a feedback-like signal is detected in both instruments at the same time, it will not be judged as feedback, avoiding unnecessary limiting of the signal.
Signal processing in rapidly changing environments
A hearing system must be able to adjust smoothly to changes in the sound environment. The automatics are the brain of the hearing system, exerting dynamic control over every function. The multi-environment program in Veras utilizes the full power of the automatic system to adapt appropriately to every listening situation.
