[Stabilizer™]
  Truly open fitting  
Stabilizer™ ensures comfortable and stable fittings

Feedback is the most severe barrier to providing sufficient gain to the unoccluded ear canal. Conquering this limitation required the ComforTec™ design team to go almost beyond the laws of physics in creating Stabilizer™, a specially tailored version of GN ReSound's superior feedback suppression technology.

 

IVisualizing the benefits of Stabilizer™
Stabilizer™ feedback suppression lets the hearing care professional fit an astonishing variety of individuals with a non-occluding ReSoundAIR instrument. The lower curve in the graph below shows the maximum amount of feedback-free insertion gain possible in an average ear fitting without Stabilizer™ processing. As can be seen by the upper curve, much more gain can safely be provided with Stabilizer™. The white area represents ReSoundAIR's unique Maximum Stable Gain fitting tool, which assists the hearing care professional to find the optimal balance between gain level and feedback limitations.
As any hearing care professional knows, the insertion of a hearing instrument or ear mould in the ear canal radically alters the ear's acoustic characteristics. In contrast, ReSoundAIR, a truly open device, has virtually no effect on the way the ear canal naturally treats sound.
 

Clinical results have indicated that the resulting optimum sound quality of own voice along with superior wearing comfort are the most valued of the many benefits afforded by the instrument.

With hardware innovations as smart as this, GN ReSound has solved the dilemma of how to reduce occlusion without compromising on the wearer's cosmetic appearance.
