The ADRO® rulesHarnessing the power of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), ADRO® is a flexible amplifier and provides benefits to users of hearing aids; headsets (including Bluetooth headsets); and mobile phones. ADRO® is dynamic and adapts automatically to different sound environments, providing superior audibility and loudness comfort, automatic optimization of speech intelligibility in noise, and high quality sound in any environment.

The gain will change according to the following rules.

1. The Comfort RuleReduces the gain in a frequency band if the 90th percentile estimate is higher than the Comfort Target. The Comfort Target in each frequency band is determined during the fitting process.

2. The Audibility RuleIncreases the gain in a frequency band if the 30th percentile estimate is below the Audibility Target.

3. The Maximum Output RulePrevents sudden high level sounds reaching uncomfortable levels by ensuring that individual frequency com-ponents cannot be larger than the Maximum Output Limits specified during the fitting process.

4. The Maximum Gain RuleLimits the loudness of very low-level sounds by not allowing the gain in any band to exceed the maximum value specified by during the fitting process.

Fig. 2 Output sound

The output sound level is controlled so that it is to stay between the audibility target level and the comfort target level. This operation is equivalent to user’s volume adjustment; decrease the gain for louder sounds and increase it for lower sounds.

Fig. 1 shows the change in input sound pressure over time. The input sound is white noise and it continuously increases for the first 15 seconds and decreases for the next 15 seconds.

Fig. 2 shows the change in level of output sound of 1-kHz band.
