Cautions
•
UltraZoom and StereoZoom are beamforming
algorithms; therefore, by design they focus to the
front and dampen sound from the side and back of
the recipient.
•
The Sky CI sound processor is designed so it can
be worn in an off-ear wearing configuration. We do
not recommend the processor be worn in the off-ear
wearing configuration while using any beamforming
algorithm.
•
The intent of the WindBlock, EchoBlock, SoundRelax,
and NoiseBlock algorithms is to attenuate a portion
of the signal in order to provide comfort in specific
environments. Attenuation of the signal may affect
sound quality.
Note: In the United States, Fixed Directional mode,
StereoZoom, UltraZoom, Sound Relax, NoiseBlock,
WindBlock, and EchoBlock are approved for use in
pediatric recipients 6 years and above who are 1) able
to complete objective speech perception testing in
order to determine speech performance and 2) are able
to report a preference for different coding strategies
or features.
