Tinnitus SoundSupport™
Tinnitus SoundSupport is now available in Oticon Opn hearing aids.
Tinnitus SoundSupport is activated in Genie 2 and provides you with
a range of four broadband sounds and three ocean-like sounds that
can be individually adjusted and fine-tuned to suit each client’s individual needs and preferences. You can also adjust the relief sounds
through Automatic Level Steering, hearing aid microphone on/off in
tinnitus programs, frequency shaping, four modulation settings, and
easy level adjustment.
Genie 2 allows you to demonstrate all seven relief sounds in
SoundStudio to help clients and their significant others better
understand aspects of tinnitus treatment using sound therapy.
|
Speech Rescue™ LX
Speech Rescue LX improves speech understanding for users with
more severe, asymmetric, progressive and unilateral hearing loss by
preserving speech cues that might otherwise be lost. Speech Rescue
LX benefits clients when conventional forms of amplification have
not produced audibility in the high frequencies.
Conveniently located in the Fitting section below the Feedback
Analyser, Speech Rescue LX is set to default OFF for both adults and
children. When you choose to enable Speech Rescue LX for a client,
Genie 2 automatically applies the default setting.
|
DSL v5.0
With the DSL fitting rationale now available for Oticon Opn, you can
offer your teen clients the full benefit of the open sound experience
with assurance that best practice guidelines are supported.
Combining DSL with Oticon’s new open sound experience enables
confident listening in the complex listening environments that are
common in a teen’s life.

Listening programs
The listening programs allow you to maintain the overall sound characteristics of the general program in P1 while modifying it to provide
more benefit in a given situation. The Program Manager in Genie 2
features a variety of listening programs including Speech in Noise,
Music, Comfort, Phone Mic, Lecture, Phone T-Coil, Phone Mic and T,
T-Coil, Mic & T-coil.

Quick Tools
New to Genie 2 is the Quick Tools menu, which allows for quick access
to programming the latest NOAH session into the instruments and
easy access to the accessory screen. This tool is ideal for front desk
personnel and technicians. The Quick Tools menu can be enabled
through the Genie 2 preferences.
