<strong>The</strong> highlights.<br />
<strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong>:<br />
Top-class technology, exclusively for your most demanding cus<strong>to</strong>mers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Acclimatisation Manager.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Active Feedback Block.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Situation Optimizer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Natural Sound.<br />
<strong>The</strong> optimal fitting based on the hearing loss is frequently<br />
rejected <strong>by</strong> the cus<strong>to</strong>mer. <strong>The</strong> sound or volume may be<br />
rejected depending on the individual hearing experience<br />
of the cus<strong>to</strong>mer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Acclimatisation Manager makes allowances for this<br />
effect. Based on the optimal frequency response, this function<br />
of the <strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> determines a pleasant acoustic<br />
setting for the cus<strong>to</strong>mer as a starting point for the au<strong>to</strong>matic<br />
acclimatisation.<br />
A number of predefined modifications are available for<br />
this process based on the target frequency response and<br />
taking in<strong>to</strong> account the different needs of first time and<br />
follow-up hearing instrument wearers (Starting point, Too<br />
shrill, Too loud, Increasement of spontaneous acceptance).<br />
To enable highly individual settings, the start frequency<br />
response of the au<strong>to</strong>matic acclimatisation can also be<br />
programmed freely. Over a defined period (2 weeks, 2<br />
months, 6 months) the <strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> system moves au<strong>to</strong>matically<br />
closer <strong>to</strong> the previously determined optimal frequency<br />
response. <strong>The</strong> progress of the acclimatisation and<br />
the change in frequency response can be moni<strong>to</strong>red at any<br />
time, making this system the ideal support for professional<br />
fitting.<br />
<strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> uses the new generation of phase cancellation<br />
feedback management systems.<br />
<strong>The</strong> system works quickly and reliably <strong>to</strong> ensure that feedback<br />
is prevented even in critical acoustic situations. <strong>The</strong><br />
required amplification and sound quality remain unchanged.<br />
This is achieved with a technology which enables safe<br />
differentiation between feedback and natural signals such<br />
as music and therefore successful cancellation of feedback.<br />
<strong>The</strong> signal given off in the ear is „marked“ au<strong>to</strong>matically<br />
<strong>by</strong> the system. <strong>The</strong> „mark“ can be recognized <strong>by</strong> the<br />
<strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> signal processing system when the sound<br />
leaves the ear and the signal therefore can be quickly and<br />
safely classified as feedback. This ensures that feedback<br />
is al<strong>way</strong>s eliminated completely without influencing the<br />
wanted sounds.<br />
<strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> recognizes different environment situations<br />
(speech, background noise, speech in background noise,<br />
music) and carries out the necessary control processes.<br />
In the case of music, the system switches <strong>to</strong> an omnidirectional<br />
microphone characteristic and adaptive parameters<br />
are deactivated. For speech in background noise, the<br />
directional microphone characteristic is activated and the<br />
adaptive parameters function completely. <strong>The</strong> goal is <strong>to</strong><br />
offer cus<strong>to</strong>mers optimal au<strong>to</strong>matic setting of the microphone<br />
characteristics and control parameters at all times<br />
and in any situation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Situation Optimizer expands this function <strong>to</strong> include<br />
au<strong>to</strong>matic modification of the frequency response based<br />
on the classification result. This enables a completely<br />
different frequency response <strong>to</strong> be activated for different<br />
situations without the hearing instrument wearer having <strong>to</strong><br />
change the programme manually. This offers an additional<br />
benefit with regard <strong>to</strong> sound and speech intelligibility<br />
in environments where the acoustic characteristics differ<br />
greatly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> software offers several different predefined levels of<br />
frequency response adjustment based on environment<br />
recognition. It is also possible <strong>to</strong> programme frequency<br />
response adjustment individually for each recognized<br />
situation.<br />
With BTE systems, sound is received not in the ear but<br />
above the ear. This means that the natural influence of the<br />
sound <strong>by</strong> the outer ear (pinna effect) is neutralized completely<br />
and the signal sounds less natural. <strong>The</strong> ability <strong>to</strong><br />
localize sound sources continues <strong>to</strong> be influenced as the<br />
natural directional effect is also impaired.<br />
Natural Sound copies the natural behaviour of the ear. A<br />
„spatial omnidirectional“ microphone is created, offering<br />
a natural sound and increased satisfaction. Natural Sound<br />
also establishes a natural directional effect (low frequencies:<br />
omnidirectional, high frequencies: directional), enabling<br />
the hearing system wearer <strong>to</strong> recognize easily whether a<br />
signal is coming from the front or behind.<br />
Natural Sound works in combination with the adaptive<br />
microphone system. In omnidirectional mode, users can<br />
take advantage of the benefits of Natural Sound.<br />
In directional mode, up <strong>to</strong> 4 frequency-dependant sound<br />
sources are hidden. <strong>The</strong> optimal <strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> microphone<br />
characteristic is set au<strong>to</strong>matically depending on the hearing<br />
situation.
<strong>The</strong> Comfort-Plus.<br />
Connected with the entire world:<br />
<strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> via Media.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new remote control Media can do much more than<br />
simply switch the programs of the hearing system, modify<br />
the sound or volume and switch the hearing system on<br />
and off.<br />
Media establishes a wireless connection between the<br />
hearing systems and a wide range of external signal<br />
sources via Blue<strong>to</strong>oth.<br />
Enjoy a new telephone experience with Media.<br />
If Media is used in conjunction with a Blue<strong>to</strong>oth-compatible<br />
telephone, it communicates with the hearing systems,<br />
enabling them <strong>to</strong> be used like a headset. A signal is sent<br />
<strong>to</strong> announce an in-coming call which can be taken and<br />
ended with Media or rejected before the call is taken. <strong>The</strong><br />
telephone can remain in a bag or pocket.<br />
Experience <strong>to</strong>p quality home entertainment.<br />
In conjunction with the Media remote control and Media<br />
transmitter, the hearing systems work like a stereo headphone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> supplied Media transmitter comes prepaired<br />
<strong>to</strong> Media and can be connected easily <strong>to</strong> the TV or other<br />
audio systems. <strong>The</strong> audio signal is then transmitted wirelessly<br />
<strong>to</strong> the hearing system.<br />
A special Blue<strong>to</strong>oth log ensures that the TV picture and<br />
sound are al<strong>way</strong>s synchronised and free from disturbance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> maximum distance between the Media transmitter<br />
and Media is approx. 10 meters.<br />
Audio systems can also be connected directly <strong>to</strong> Media<br />
(Direct Audio).<br />
Media – first class comfort through<br />
state-of-the-art technology.<br />
Media must be programmed <strong>to</strong>gether with the relevant<br />
<strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> hearing systems <strong>by</strong> connecting Media <strong>to</strong> a<br />
USB input on the computer using a special programming<br />
cable.<br />
To make Media easier <strong>to</strong> use, individual designations of<br />
the 5 programs can be defined and programmed (e.g. evening<br />
playing cards, at home). A text can also be programmed<br />
<strong>to</strong> appear on the display when Media is switched on<br />
(e.g. next service appointment with date).<br />
Tradition at its best: eMote2.<br />
It goes without saying that the <strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> portfolio<br />
also comes with a traditional remote control. Easy <strong>to</strong> operate,<br />
unobtrusive appearance – eMote2 comes with the<br />
following functions:<br />
• Volume adjustment<br />
• Switching hearing programs<br />
• Switching the hearing system on/off<br />

<strong>The</strong> design.<br />
<strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong>:<br />
Perfect design in the seven attractive natural colours.<br />
Easy-<strong>to</strong>-change housing: more variety on demand.<br />
It couldn‘t be easier <strong>to</strong> change the colour of the housing. Colour Exchange Kits are available containing everything you<br />
need: <strong>to</strong>p case, bot<strong>to</strong>m case, battery compartment, pins, <strong>to</strong>ols for removing/inserting the housing pins.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>to</strong>p case comes fitted with microphone protection and should therefore be replaced regularly (approx. every 3 months)<br />
<strong>to</strong> prevent acoustic problems in the system caused <strong>by</strong> soiling of the microphone protection. <strong>The</strong> specially developed Mic<br />
Cover Exchange Kit can be used for this purpose (contents: 4 <strong>to</strong>p cases in the required colour, pins, <strong>to</strong>ols for removing/inserting<br />
the housing pins).<br />

Visual finesse: with the sophisticated 2-<strong>to</strong>ne special paint, the <strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> offers an even more<br />
subtle appearance, making the tiny design housing look smaller than other mini hearing systems.
<strong>The</strong> fitting.<br />
Perfect system:<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> can be fitted and programmed in no time at all.<br />
<strong>The</strong> simple receiver selection.<br />
A special length gauge (black) is available for selecting the<br />
receiver, which is placed on the ear of the wearer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tip on the tragus determines the correct length of the<br />
receiver. <strong>The</strong> digit on the length gauge is the same height<br />
as the tip of the tragus and can also be found on the relevant<br />
receiver.<br />
Various domes available.<br />
Domes are available in a wide range of dimensions <strong>to</strong> enable<br />
optimal fit in the audi<strong>to</strong>ry canal and the required sound<br />
pressure level.<br />
• Open: 6, 8, 10 mm<br />
• Closed: 8, 10 mm<br />
• Double Dome closed: 8-10, 10-12 mm<br />
All models are equipped with cerumen protection<br />
(C guard or grid filter)<br />
We strongly <strong>recommend</strong> that the P receiver only be adjusted<br />
with individually made earmoulds.<br />
Replacing the receiver unit.<br />
Turn the receiver unit 45° anti-clockwise.<br />
Pull off the receiver unit.<br />
Clip on the receiver unit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> marks must lie over<br />
each other!<br />
Turn the receiver unit 45° clockwise.<br />
Installation and programming.<br />
For programming, at least Connexx 6.1/Hansafit 6.2 must<br />
be installed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wired connection of <strong>VELVET</strong> X-<strong>Mini</strong> <strong>to</strong> the computer<br />
takes place with a special adapter, which is inserted in the<br />
battery compartment in place of the battery.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fitting software recognizes the relevant receiver au<strong>to</strong>matically, enabling the receiver required for the individual hearing<br />
loss <strong>to</strong> be selected easily.
