In situations like driving a car and listening to a

backseat passenger or sitting in a wheel chair

listening to a caretaker behind the wheel chair,

hearing impaired individuals will often ﬁnd it

dicult to achieve the right amount of focus.

A new listening program - the

Reverse focus program helps

solve the dicult task of listen-

ing exclusively in the reverse

direction. In this program, the

hearing aids will eective-

ly reverse the Locator pattern

to achieve optimum focus on

sounds from behind. KEMAR

measurements done at the Widex laboratories

suggest a 5 dB improvement in the signal-to-

noise ratio for sounds coming from behind. The

Reverse focus program is available both as a

normal program synchronised between the two

hearing aids and as part of a compound pro-

gram with Master in the other ear.

With M-DEX, the Free-

Focus option is avail-

able. This option allows

the hearing aid user to

choose between four lis-

tening directions; front,

back, right or left.

FreeFocus is not a program that can be ac-

cessed or chosen through Compass. FreeFocus

is based on the Master program and is inﬂu-

enced by adjustments made in this program.

The Program manager

The Program manager lets you

choose programs for the client.

The Program manager will allow

you to choose between a list

of normal programs as well as

a list of predeﬁned compound

programs. See Fig. 27.
