[WarpOpen™]
 
 

Thanks to its unique ComforTec™ technology, ReSoundAIR is the first hearing instrument to fully address the requirements of patients with mild or high-frequency hearing loss. ComforTec™ provides a wide-open ear canal to virtually eliminate occlusion - yet, since open-fitting hearing instruments become subject to feedback at much lower gain levels, it also provides the extra headroom needed to create a stable fitting.

At the same time, ComforTec™ enhances listening comfort with a range of software algorithms that minimize any noise, distortion and echoing that might otherwise be apparent to typical wearers of open-fitted instruments. With ComforTec™, ReSoundAIR provides a complete solution for mild or high-frequency hearing loss.

Impressive compression
To achieve these remarkable benefits, ComforTec™ technology features an entirely new compressor, known as WarpOpen™, which was specifically designed to address the demands of mild or high-frequency hearing loss and wide-open fittings. The WarpOpen™ compressor features near-zero distortion and internal noise while providing extraordinary resolution for softer high-frequency signals.

 
Super-fast signal processing
WarpOpen™ compression features extraordinarily low processing time delays, avoiding the sound coloration or echoing that might otherwise arise when direct sound mixes with amplified sound in an open fitting.

Near-zero distortion
The signal distortion levels common to most hearing instruments can become a problem for hearing care professionals seeking maximum amplification. WarpOpen™'s extremely fast processing speed and broadband output compressor keep distortion to an absolute minimum.

Extraordinary frequency and compression
The WarpOpen™ compressor design features crossover bands that adjust or "warp" based on the gain settings for each individual hearing loss. This warping capability provides a high degree of resolution for softer input signals without over-amplifying louder signals. This, combined with a wide dynamic range compression scheme, provides unparalleled sound quality for mild or high-frequency hearing loss.
