feature summary
IRIS™ Technology leverages a unique ear-to-ear communication protocol. Binaural Spatial Mapping applies the combined speed and power of multiple dual-core platforms to achieve parallel processing benefits. This innovative protocol queries, analyzes, and maps the acoustic space surrounding the patient, applying the appropriate signal processing strategy for directionality and noise management. SpeechTrax2 nearly doubles the noise reduction capability of our leading noise reduction and speech preservation system while still maintaining speech. SpeechTrax2: • Instantly applies variable noise adaptation in all channels between each pause • Has been proven to reduce listening effort and cognitive fatigue when used in tandem with Dynamic Directional Detection* • Provides up to 20dB of noise reduction Unlike competing technologies that apply frequency compression broadly, our frequency lowering technology, FrequencyTrax, is designed to enhance real-time audibility by intelligently identifying high-frequency speech cues, then replicating them in lower frequencies. This allows Mobility to maintain important frequency relationships, retaining the sound quality that comes from harmonic distribution, while providing audibility for high-frequency speech cues for patients that may have previously been considered unaidable. Activated via SurfLink Remote, our SpeechTrax Boost feature allows patients to enable aggressive noise reduction while optimizing sound quality in extremely noisy situations. Thanks to Self Learning, Mobility gradually and automatically learns patient volume control preferences in each active memory, which helps reduce the number of manual volume control adjustments patients need to make. Mobility wouldn’t be a MicroTech product without our Strategic Feedback Control. This leading technology ensures wide fitting ranges and a fast response to more complex feedback. Our innovative Hear Clear™ with HydraShield®2 enables all Mobility custom wireless products to provide unprecedented resistance to wax and moisture.
With Synchronized User Adjustments patients can use a single hearing instrument to adjust volume or memory for the pair — eliminating the need to manually change two instruments. Binaural Telephone Mode places the phone-side hearing aid in Automatic Telephone Response or Telecoil mode while attenuating the off-side hearing aid. Dynamic Directional Detection in Mobility hearing aids is designed to better perform in highly complex environments with background noise (Not available on CIC). MicroTech was the first company to integrate real-ear measurement into a hearing aid. Live Real Ear Measurement provides a prescriptively appropriate fitting for every Mobility product. Combined with the power of Inspire® fitting software, it lets you see the hearing aid output in your patient’s ear in real-ear SPL. Voice Indicators alert your patients to the status of their hearing aid, low battery, memory and telephone modes in their choice of male or female voices in a wide variety of languages. Automatic Telephone Solutions (ATS) automatically detects telephone use and adjusts to the optimal acoustic frequency response for telephone listening. Bring the benefits of telehealth to your practice with our On Demand options. Each one is designed to elevate your interaction with patients and provide a better way for you to deliver care. Includes T2 On Demand, Audiology On Demand™ and innovative applications that work with the iPad®, iPhone® and iPod® Touch.

SurfLink Programmer Our SurfLink Programmer, combined with IRIS Technology and Inspire fitting software, gives you the ultimate speed and flexibility in direct-to-hearing aid wireless programming.
• D etects your patients’ Mobility devices in seconds
Basic
Intermediate
Advanced
With the optional SurfLink Remote, patients can control memory and volume adjustments, mute their hearing instruments, or go in and out of streaming mode if they desire.
• Connects via standard USB cable
• Features up to a 20-foot range
• R equires no additional hardware for the patient
• Frees patients to move around during counseling and demonstrations
• Is 4x faster than HiPro and nearly twice as fast as NOAHLink and nEARcom
SurfLink Media SurfLink Media provides patients with the first set-and-forget media streaming solution. Simply plug a TV, radio or MP3 player into SurfLink Media and rich, stereo sound is streamed directly to any Mobility hearing aids in range without pairing or body-worn relay devices. SurfLink Media:
• S treams stereo sound directly from media devices to the patient’s hearing aids without pairing or body-worn relay devices • U ses Intelligent Media Mobility to allow seamless room-to-room transitions between media devices
5
• Enables multiple people wearing Mobility hearing aids to connect to a single device • E liminates audio delay and lip-sync issues* commonly found with other wireless systems • H elps prevent patients and companions from fighting over the volume
*Latency is unnoticeable according to International Telecommunications Union standards.
