Product and Fitting Information
Three Revolutionary
Innovations
Adapto is a complete family of
advanced digital products suitable for
all types of hearing losses ranging
from mild to profound.
VoiceFinder is a combined speech
detection and comfort system that
maximises speech understanding
when speech is present - and automatically
tunes out ambient noise
when speech is not present.
OpenEar Acoustics combines
substantially larger vents with
Dynamic Feedback Cancellation to
provide clear, natural sound quality,
and virtually eliminates occlusion
and feedback.
Client-Focused Fitting ensures a
unique and individualised hearingcare
solution by incorporating the
users' lifestyle and experience.

Personal Profile
Client Age
Hearing Instrument Experience
The Personal Profile
The Personal Profile step contains tools for the
collection of information about the client, beyond
what is available in NOAH. Genie applies this
information when calculating prescribed rationales
and control settings. Genie uses the following data to
determine the optimal prescription of hearing instrument
response characteristics for the client:
● The audiometric data entered in NOAH
● The age chosen in Client Age
● The information entered in the questionnaire
Lifestyle and Listening Situations
● Auditory resolution
● The client's experience with instruments
● Real Ear to Coupler Difference and Real Ear
Unaided Response
The client's age can influence the prescribed settings of the instruments in different ways:
● For adults, the client's age can influence which of the four Adapto rationales is
recommended by Genie.
● Young children have smaller ear canals with other acoustic properties than the
average adult. Prescriptions will therefore compensate for this when a young age
(less than eight years old) is selected, by using Real Ear to Coupler Difference
(RECD) or Real Ear Unaided Response (REUR) data that reflects the specified age.
Select the appropriate age group in the drop-down menu in the Personal Profile step.
If a client’s age is not selected in this part of the Personal Profile, the default age of
70 - 79 will be used.
The client's hearing instrument experience determines the settings of the Adaptation
Manager. Selecting an experience level of None, Short term/Part-time or Long Term
results in the corresponding Adaptation settings of 1, 2 or 3. For experienced hearing
instrument users, select whether the previous instruments were linear or non-linear.
This provides the most appropriate starting point for gain and compression for the client.

Personal Profile
Lifestyle and Listening Situations
The Lifestyle and Listening Situations questionnaire is
for clients with a mild to moderate hearing loss
(below 70 dB on average).
These questions yield an overall measure of the ”richness”
or variability of the user's listening environments
and auditory lifestyle. Responses to the six questions,
rating the occurrence and importance of each situation,
are automatically combined with other input from the
Personal Profile to make the most appropriate rationale
recommendation.
Auditory Resolution
If the client has a hearing loss of 70 dB or more on
average, Genie will automatically activate Auditory
Resolution in the Personal Profile. The Auditory
Resolution is e.g. reflected in one’s ability to discriminate
between phonemes/words and one’s ability to
hear rhythm and intonation of speech. The chosen setting
of Auditory Resolution is automatically combined
with the other input from the Personal Profile to make
the most appropriate rationale recommendation.
Accepting the default level has no influence on the
rationale prescribed by Genie.

Fitting
Genie automatically recommends initial settings based on the client’s audiometric characteristics, information entered in the
Personal Profile step and the selected parameters. However, the fitting control panels allow further adjustments to meet client needs.
Adaptation Manager
Provides easy access to a gradual acclimatisation process. Step 1 is an initial
setting for first time users. Step 2 is an intermediate setting, and step 3 is the
prescribed setting for maximum speech understanding often preferred by experienced
hearing instrument users.
VoiceFinder Live View
The VoiceFinder LiveView is a real-time demonstration of the benefits of
VoiceFinder. This feature enables you to take control over the VoiceFinder by locking
the instrument in either Speech or Comfort mode, enabling you to show the
absolute difference between the two modes.
OpenEar Acoustics
This field displays the vent sizes used in the instruments being fitted.

Fitting
VoiceFinder Manager
Adjusts the reduction in Comfort Mode
relative to Speech Mode.
Increase the difference between Speech and
Comfort Mode if:
● The instruments are too loud in
situations with static noise present
Decrease the difference between Speech and
Comfort Mode if:
● The instruments are too soft in
situations with static noise present
● The change between Speech Mode and Comfort Mode
is too abrupt
Manual Override (optional)
The reserve gain trimmers in Genie set the amount of additional gain available in
the manual override. You can adjust the reserve gain in steps of 5 dB.
It is possible to disable/enable the volume control by clicking on the "Disable" button.
For instruments with two programs, it is only possible to disable the volume control
in P1. (This will influence both programs as well as the telecoil setting).
Adapto Rationale Profile
Shows a weighted ranking of the four fitting rationales based on the audiogram and
the Personal Profile Data. The selected rationale is bolded, while the fully coloured
bar is the prescribed rationale. If the prescribed rationale is used in the fitting, it is
both bolded and fully coloured. Click the icon to the right to see the rationale ranking
for each ear.

Fitting
Fitting Controls
The fitting controls for Adapto are structured in three layers; the Quick
panel is the simplest of the options, increasing in complexity to the
Standard and the Expanded panels.
LF Loud
Adjusts overall LF-gain for loud
inputs (figure shows the average
insertion gain at 80 dB SPL)
Link the loud and soft controls
to make overall gain changes in
the LF channel. The LF link is
automatically activated when
using the Linear MC rationale
LF Soft
Adjusts overall LF-gain for soft
inputs (figure shows the average
gain at 50 dB SPL for most
programs)
Frequency Response
The frequency response controls
allow very accurate shaping to
match the audiometric profile.
Quick Fitting Panel
R-L Balance
Adjusts the loudness balance between Right and Left
Gain
Adjusts gain for soft to moderate input signals
Loud/MPO
● Loud (Fast and Slow): Adjusts gain for loud input signals
● MPO (SKI and Linear MC ): Adjusts the maximum output signal level
Tonal Balance
● -LF/+HF: Reduces gain at low frequencies and increases gain at high frequencies
● +LF/-HF: Reduces gain at high frequencies and increases gain at low frequencies
Standard Fitting Panel
HF Loud
Adjusts overall HF-gain for loud
inputs (figure shows the average
insertion gain at 80 dB SPL)
Link the loud and soft controls
to make overall gain changes in
the HF channel. The HF link is
automatically activated when
using the SKI and Linear MC
rationales
HF Soft
Adjusts overall HF-gain for soft
inputs (figure shows the average
gain at 50 dB SPL for most
programs)
Low-Frequency Bands adjust
narrow band LF-frequency
response (up to 1.5 KHz)
High-Frequency Bands adjust
the narrow band HF-frequency
response (1.5 - 5.5 KHz)

Fitting
Expanded Fitting Panel
Low- and High-Frequency MPO Controls
Sets the Maximum Power Output separately for low- and high-frequencies.
If the client has an extremely low UCL or is sensitive to
sudden loud sounds, lower the MPO settings.
Low- and High-Frequency Attack Time Controls
Sets the attack times for low- and high-frequency compressors separately.
Decreasing the attack times causes a faster reaction in the
compression circuits. Lower the attack times if sudden loud sounds
like doors slamming (LF) or cutlery rattling (HF) are still uncomfortable
even after decreasing the LF or HF Loud control.
Low- and High-Frequency Release Time Controls
Sets the release times for low- and high-frequency compressors
separately. Changing release times seriously modifies the function of
the hearing instrument. Although increasing the release times makes
the instrument move more slowly out of compression – thereby preventing
pumping effects, very long release times actually reduce the
overall amplification of soft sounds in the incoming signal, making
them inaudible.
Crossover Frequency Control
Adjusts the crossover frequency between the channels.
Knee point (only for Power hearing instruments)
The kneepoint is the level at which the compressor becomes active.
Increasing the kneepoint decreases the gain for soft sounds and
maintains the gain for moderate and loud sounds. There is therefore
no change in compression ratio. Increasing the kneepoint and the
soft gain results in a more linear amplification, which may be helpful
for immediate acceptance of the instrument for previous users of
linear power instruments.
Important: You can return to the recommended settings at any time during the fitting simply by clicking the “Target” icon in
the tool bar.

Fitting
Programs
The choice and availability of programs depend on the
Adapto instrument style. Certain programs are specified by
default in the Selection step. Other programs, when
available, can be chosen within the Manual panel. The
performance of each program is based upon the rationale.
The default programs are identified by the prescribed icon.
The prescribed P2 setting will always be relative to the
prescribed P1 setting, whether the two programs are linked
or not. By default, the programs are not linked and P1 and
P2 are fitted independently.
The table shows which programs are available for the
Adapto styles.
Fitting two Programs
Link
Disable
In Adapto instruments with two programs, adjust Program 1 before Program 2. Select the program from the toolbar. All fitting controls
are available in both Program 1 and Program 2. The Adaptation Manager is adjusted in Program 1 and affects both programs.
Linked
Not linked
When adjusting controls in styles with two programs and/or directional program,
click the link icon to link the programs; any changes to Program 1 will then also
apply to Program 2.
To access and adjust the programs separately, unclick the link icon and click on the
program icon you want to work with.
Directional LF Roll Off
Adjusts the degree of LF gain roll off. A grayed icon indicates a degree of roll off that is
unavailable.
Select more roll off if:
● Wind, footsteps, etc. are too loud
● Speech in noise is unclear
Select less roll off if:
● Speech in noise is too soft

The feedback management system consists of two elements: The Feedback Manager and the Dynamic Feedback Cancellation
system. The Feedback Manager ensures excellent sound quality and feedback-free operation in the static situation. The Dynamic
Feedback Cancellation system continuously monitors and eliminates feedback due to changes in the acoustical environment.
Click the icon to access the manual or automatic Feedback Management.
Dynamic Feedback Cancellation
The Dynamic Feedback Cancellation (DFC) system is active in all
Adapto instruments. The DFC constantly monitors the input of the
instrument for the presence of acoustic feedback. When feedback is
detected, the DFC reacts immediately by phasing out the feedback
signal. The DFC is designed to adapt to all daily situations, including
“slow” acoustic changes such as an earmould or shell that gradually
moves out of proper position, as well as sudden acoustic changes,
such as placing the phone by the ear.
Using the Feedback Manager
A few Adapto clients might experience feedback intermittently while
wearing their instruments. This could be due to a very loose-fitting
instrument, which then might require the DFC to work close to
maximum level to control the feedback. In these rare cases, the
DFC may not be able to fully compensate for additional sources of
feedback caused by dynamic acoustic changes. Therefore, it may
be necessary to run the Feedback Manager to increase the feedback
margin.
Interaction of the DFC and the Feedback Manager
The DFC is automatically disabled while the Feedback Manager is running. Once feedback limits have been established and
accepted by the Feedback Manager, the DFC is automatically re-activated.

Friends & Family Demonstrations
Demonstrate the effect of VoiceFinder and OpenEar
Acoustics for persons accompanying your client. These
demos will help friends and family experience the performance
and benefit of these features in Adapto.
Click on the Adapto picture on the lower right side of any of
the fitting panels. A message appears, letting you select
between demonstrations of VoiceFinder and OpenEar
Acoustics.
VoiceFinder demonstration
The sample represents a short conversation between a man
and a woman near a noisy street, recorded through a real
Adapto instrument. The sample demonstrates how
VoiceFinder responds differently to the speech and noise
segments, compared to the noise-only (non-speech)
segments. The picture changes along with the segment to
give the listeners a visual reminder of the switch between
Speech mode and Comfort mode, as well as the transition
time between them.
OpenEar Acoustics demonstration
The two samples used here illustrate a common problem
related to the occlusion often experienced by clients. The
perception of own voice and body sounds (eating, for example),
seems unnatural when there is no - or only a small - vent.
In the sample we listen to a person eating toast, first recorded
in a plugged ear, and then in an open ear. With a plugged
ear (no vent), the chewing creates a sound level of up to 110
dB SPL in the ear, making it impossible to hear softer
sounds. An open ear (with a large vent) make the sound of
chewing toast much more comfortable!

Tools and Cables
Cables and Fitting Systems
Adapto is programmed using the Genie fitting software compatible with NOAH 2.0 and 3.0 or EasyFit II. The cables
used are the same for either device.
Custom Instruments: BTE Instruments:
1.Connect the large jack on cable 3 to
the HI-PRO. Connect the small plug to
the black connector on the
FlexConnect, taking care to align the
red dots.
2.Insert a new battery in the instrument.
With the battery door slightly open,
insert the gold end of the FlexConnect
into the space between the battery
door and hinge. After insertion, make
sure the dot is facing away from the
door. The dot serves as “depth stop”
for the FlexConnect.
3.Close the battery door and insert the
instrument in the client’s ear.

Note: Measurements with pure tones on a digital
hearing instrument can show a wavy HF-response
due to the constant time delay that causes a series
of full phase shifts in narrow frequency bands.

Note: Measurements with pure tones on a digital
hearing instrument can show a wavy HF-response
due to the constant time delay that causes a series
of full phase shifts in narrow frequency bands.
All curves and values are unless otherwise stated
obtained with a 5 dB damping hook. Values in
parentheses were measured using an
undamped hook.
