8.8.4 Measuring multiple envelopes
The clinician can measure up to three different Visible Speech envelopes. For
example, it may be beneficial to perform measurements of the different programs
on the hearing aid.
Another example of the usefulness of multiple measurements is when using
the voice of the spouse of the patient. Have the spouse stand a few feet from
the patient when measuring Visible Speech Envelope 1. Then use [F2] to select
Visible Speech Envelope 2. (Press [F2]. Use [, ] to select the desired envelope.
Press [] to complete the selection and close the pop-up menu.) Repeat
the test with the spouse standing across the room from the patient. A comparison
of the two envelopes can demonstrate to the patient and the spouse how
close they need to be to each other in order for speech to be easily audible.
When multiple envelopes have been measured, the selected envelope measurements
are brighter and more visible than measurements of the other envelopes.
To view a different Visible Speech envelope, use [F2] to select it, or use [F3] to
temporarily turn off the display of the other envelopes.
If the screen looks too busy, you can turn off the minimum and maximum
