Technology Levels

Ruby 1 has the more sophisticated feature set designed to improve listening comfort in background noise over Ruby 2.

Features: Oticon Ruby has the following features to enhance speech understanding and listening comfort:

• Noise Reduction LX reduces background noise interference, even between words
• Speech Rescue LX – a form of frequency traspostion. It copies the higher frequency speech cues and represents them at a lower frequency range where the hearing sensitivity is often stronger. This helps preserve speech cues that may otherwise be undetectable. Especially helpful with steeply sloping high frequency hearing loss.
• Multiband Adaptive Directionality LX – Adjusts the microphone focal patterns in various frequency bands to steer away from dominant noise in the environment whilst maintaining focus on important speech signals.
• Wind Noise Management – Reduces wind turbulence sounds to improve hearing speech in windy environments
• Single Compression LX – moves speech sounds into a more audible range related to your hearing levels
• Feedback SuperShield – Prevents feedback or whistling sounds from even getting started. It works together with the feedback shield LX. (only available in Ruby 1)
• Tinnitus SoundSupport – presentation of sounds to provide relief for patients experiencingtinnitus
