Pure power is the core requirement

Effective Feedback Control

Feedback is more likely to occur for Super Power users because of the high amplifi cation levels they require. It is especially problematic because they may not be able to hear the feedback themselves.

Adaptive Feedback Canceller

XTREME employs a high-performance Adaptive Feedback Canceller. The system constantly monitors the output signal and reacts instantly at the fi rst hint of feedback, producing a counter signal of the opposite phase to cancel the feedback before it begins. Digital phase cancellation provides efficient feedback control without unnecessary gain reduction, ensuring that audibility is maintained.

Feedback Manager

XTREME has a Feedback Manager in the fitting software to provide all the tools necessary to fi ght feedback. A predicted threshold of feedback curve is automatically calculated for each fitting, identifying frequency regions where feedback is most likely to occur. The actual feedback curve can also be measured. Programmable safety margins can be selected to balance gain needs against feedback. These tools are available to ensure that XTREME allows maximum gain in every frequency band.

Effective Noise Reduction

Background noise is often cited as the number one complaint of hearing instrument users. Noise can affect listening comfort, cause listening fatigue and interfere with speech understanding. To combat the effects of background noise, XTREME offers two advanced systems:

Adaptive Noise Reduction

High levels of background noise can be uncomfortable and can also interfere with speech understanding. XTREME offers Adaptive Noise Reduction to maintain listening comfort in loud noise. XTREME’s sophisticated Adaptive Noise Reduction system operates in 8 frequency bands, constantly scanning the sound environment.

Soft Noise Management

Low levels of background noise can also be a problem. Digital signal processing allows Super Power users to hear a wider variety of sounds including soft sounds. However, persistent soft noises, such as the sound of a fan whirring, can be annoying and cause listening fatigue. Soft Noise Management is an adaptive digital feature that decreases the level of soft ambient noise.

Designed for the user

Super Power users need instruments that are uncomplicated and user friendly. They also need reliable instruments that can stand up to the high demands of all day wear, every day. XTREME is simple to operate with a sturdy housing that is tough enough for kids aged 0 to 99. XTREME offers a wide variety of user options to satisfy your customers:

Flexibe Volume Control

The analog-style wheel with integrated OFF function, 3 clearly visible level markings and end stops allows users to easily identify their typical volume control setting.

Program switch

A simple 3-position switch allows the user to change programs quickly and easily.

Status light

The status light (XTREME 120 only) provides visual confirmation of instrument functions including normal operation, program changes, and low battery.

Connected and ready to go

XTREME can be connected to external sound sources such as MP3 players, computers, television, stereo systems, cell phones with Bluetooth capability and more via a DAI (Direct Audio Input) shoe that attaches easily to the hearing instrument.

The dedicated DAI shoe has a sensitivity control and 4 volume levels to optimize performance with a wide variety of inputs. Personal FM systems are also popular for adults with severe-to-profound hearing impairment who require enhanced communication capabilities for business and social purposes. XTREME is compatible with ear-level FM receivers. Your Bernafon Sales Representative will be happy to supply you with further information about FM and DAI connections.
