New & Exciting Technology from Unitron – guest post by Brian Taylor

As DSP technology continues to progress, hearing aid manufacturers are able to improve processing speed and algorithm performance.  Recently, Unitron’s Smartfocus™ algorithm, which has been clinically proven in several independent studies to outperform similar algorithms in noise, has been enhanced with the advent of several new features unique to the Quantum and Moxi families of Unitron products.  For example, Unitron’s automatic switching program has been updated. No longer using a “winner take all” approach, the Quantum and Moxi algorithms can actually morph between listening destinations and exist in a state that is partially between one listening environment and another.  Clinical trials have shown a strong user preference for this updated automatic switching algorithm. Other technological advances to the Quantum and Moxi product lines include Pinna Effect, which contributes to improved front-to-back localization, and Natural Sound Balance, a feature that enhances the performance of open canal fittings.

This blog post was contributed by Brian Taylor, Au.D., Director of Practice Development & Clinical Affairs at Unitron, a leader in creating hearing innovations that make everyday listening easier for people with hearing loss. The Company is bringing new and improved DSP chips and algorithms to market. By doubling the computational speed of the DSP chip, the new Quantum family of products as well as the new Moxi CRT line offers your patients unprecedented performance in noise.  For more information, please visit www.unitronhearing.com or the Unitron Web Channel on AudiologyOnline.
