Siemens Behind-the-Ear System manual Using the directional microphone system

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.
