Using the directional
microphone system
Your CENTRA hearing system has a directional microphone
system, which can be programmed to your individual needs.
It can be set to an automatic mode so the CENTRA hearing
system automatically adjusts the microphone system from
omni-directional to directional mode and back, depending
on the hearing situation.
For example:
A typical situation for the directional mode is a face-to-face
conversation in a noisy environment.
A typical situation for the omni-directional mode is when you
are in more quiet environments and want to hear the sounds
around you.
Your hearing instrument specialist will program the opera-
tion of the directional microphone system to function either
automatically or in conjunction with the program button
based on your individual hearing requirements and preferen-
ces. If the directional microphone system is not programmed
to function automatically, your hearing instrument specialist
can instruct you on its use.
