BENEFIT

Innova sets a new standard for directional performance with DIRECTIONALfocus, a breakthrough technology that allows directional performance measures of up to 11 dB —the highest ever recorded in a commercially available hearing aid.

DIRECTIONALfocus provides additional directionality through a focused, adaptive gain manipulation in each of the 16 channels based on the direction of sound. Sounds in front of the listener are considered to be desirable; sounds originating from the sides and back of the listener are considered to be background noise and are therefore attenuated.  The DIRECTIONALfocus system varies the amount of attenuation based on the location of the sound, with more attenuation applied as the sound moves to the side and behind.
