2 2 Sonic Cheer for the excitement Give a Cheer Everybody, on your feet! Sonic presents Cheer, a we-rounded ineup of products featuring impressive sound quaity stats. Cheer offers three technoogy eves, pus new power instruments, so there s a device for neary every hearing oss need. Mutipe features add to a winning sound performance on Sonic s Speech Variabe Processing patform. Pus, many devices incude wireess connectivity. Better hearing every day. Now that s worth a Cheer.

3 Sonic Cheer for the excitement 3 Sonic has peope Cheering Over the years, Sonic has gained a true fan base thanks to what we ca our 4S Foundation. We commit to four principes that stand as the core of our products: Sound that s natura, Speech understanding in noise, Simpicity in a we do, and Stye that stands out. Read on to earn how Cheer exempifies these Sonic vaues in each and every way.

4 4 Sonic Cheer for the excitement Sound: Now this is winning performance Natura sound begins with a digita signa processor that s engineered for premium quaity; we ca it our Speech Variabe Processing patform. This industry-accaimed system can be ayered with sophisticated features for an unparaeed hearing experience. Sound that s natura Speech Variabe Processing Adaptive Feedback Canceer Best Fit Fast SE Frequency Transfer Speech Variabe Processing Phoneme Focus An extremey fast WDRC system, Speech Variabe Processing (SVP) with Phoneme Focus repicates cochear ampification to hep keep sounds natura and speech cear. Using Phoneme Focus, Cheer is abe to accuratey measure the incoming signa and appy just the right amount of gain at just the right moment to maintain the carity of individua sounds. Enveope Focus New! A sower WDRC system, this SVP variant is designed for certain popuations, considering age, high frequency hearing threshods and air-bone gap information. With Enveope Focus, the contrast between oud and soft phonemes is greater than traditiona SVP and wi have a more inear behavior. Adaptive Feedback Canceer The Adaptive Feedback Canceer system in Cheer gets to work fast it proactivey attacks feedback, resuting in squea-free, easy istening. It continuay monitors the frequency content of the input signa to detect osciation characteristics typica of feedback. Once feedback is identified, the inverse phase canceer quicky appies a counter signa to the offending component, which typicay eiminates feedback before it is audibe. If an ampified signa re-enters the microphone within 5 miiseconds of exiting the receiver, the system recognizes that component as a signa that has been previousy ampified, and treats the signa as feedback. This aows for very quick remova of unwanted feedback. New Fitting Rationae: Best Fit Fast SE Our proprietary Best Fit Fast fitting agorithm has a new update for your convenience when fitting Cheer and other Sonic instruments. Best Fit Fast SE (Speech Enhancement) emphasizes speech inteigibiity, making this fitting option the perfect choice for patients who accept more gain at their first fitting. Best Fit Fast SE joins the ist of now seven generic and proprietary fitting rationaes incuded in our EXPRESSfit fitting software. Frequency Transfer Cheer 60 Excusive Working in conjunction with Speech Variabe Processing, Frequency Transfer technoogy offers an innovative approach for managing severe high-frequency osses. Frequency Transfer works by compressing high-frequency input and transferring it to a ower frequency region that has better residua hearing. Frequency Transfer improves the access and therefore the audibiity of speech cues. The SVP patform keeps the bandwidth of the origina signa intact which promotes a smooth and seamess sound. A premiumeve technoogy, this feature can be a game-changer at the Cheer 60 eve. Frequency Transfer

5 Sonic Cheer for the excitement 5 Something to shout about: Speech understanding in noise When it comes to better hearing, a sounds are not created equa. Cheer uses mutipe Sonic systems to identify desirabe sounds ike speech, whie weeding out unwanted sounds that can be distracting and irritating. Speech understanding in noise Adaptive Directionaity Wind Noise Reduction Soft Noise Reduction Speech Priority Noise Reduction Adaptive Directionaity Cheer 60 and Cheer 40 Excusive Adaptive Directionaity is the directionaity system patients want for dynamic, everyday environments. In settings ike an office, a restaurant, or even a tour group, sounds are coming from a variety of sources. Adaptive Directionaity quicky anayzes the incoming signa to determine the ocation of the oudest sound within each of four frequency regions. Upon identifying the ocation, the best poar response is appied independenty in each region to improve the signa-to-noise ratio. Adaptive Directionaity W 1000Hz 1500Hz 2500Hz HIG Wind Noise Reduction Wind Noise Reduction makes time spent outdoors more enjoyabe by preventing wind sounds from being ampified. When wind is detected, the Wind Noise Reduction feature quicky sets the owest frequencies to an optima directiona response and appies maximum attenuation across a frequencies, providing instant reief. Speech Priority Noise Reduction A hearing device s primary goa is to maximize the abiity to understand speech. This can be difficut when speech is mixed with noise. Correcty identifying what is speech and what is noise can be very difficut, and often noise reduction systems trade comfort for speech inteigibiity. Not so with the sophisticated Speech Priority Noise Reduction found in Cheer. Speech Priority Noise Reduction works to separate speech from surrounding noise, making conversations comfortabe and cear. The system constanty monitors the input and determines the moduation fingerprint of the signa. Sounds that are highy moduated are most ikey speech and shoud be preserved; sounds that do not show moduation characteristics are most ikey noise and shoud be reduced. By independenty managing the noise and eaving the speech signa intact, Speech Priority Noise Reduction provides comfort and preserves underying speech signas. Time in seconds Soft Noise Reduction Whie ampifying important speech signas is part of a hearing device s basic function, ampifying annoying and unwanted noise shoudn t be. This is particuary true of ow-eve sounds: the whirring of a fan or the soft rumbe of a refrigerator. Soft Noise Reduction reduces these quiet but distracting sounds without modifying the ampification of important speech-reated signas. Ampitude

6 6 Sonic Cheer for the excitement Score one for Simpicity Life is fu of excitement. That means your patients istening environments can change in an instant. Cheer is ready for the adventure with features that deiver simpe, accurate, hands-free operation. Many Cheer modes (even the Cheer 20 eve) incude wireess capabiities a great vaue in this famiy of instruments! Together, these easy-to-use technoogies hep patients cheer on the day with a seamess istening experience. Simpicity in everything we do Universa Environment Data Learning Binaura Coordination Wireess Connectivity Universa Environment A Cheer devices offer the hands-free advantage of the Universa Environment. This egendary Sonic istening program constanty monitors the istening environment for specific characteristics ike sound eve, presence of speech, frequency content, and harmonics. By anayzing these different sound traits, the system determines which combination of features and ampification wi be beneficia and then automaticay adjusts accordingy. Athough the Universa environment addresses a variety of istening situations, speech inteigibiity gets specia attention. To achieve the best comprehension, the Universa environment is specificay tuned to optimize essentia speech-reated cues, maximizing speech inteigibiity in noisy situations. Data Learning Cheer 60 Excusive Tak about simpe and smart. Data Learning (on Cheer 60) tracks the voume changes a patient makes using the instrument s voume contro, SoundGate, or a Remote Contro device. By tracking voume changes over time, this feature graduay adapts ampification settings to automaticay match the user s preferences. Binaura Coordination* With Binaura Coordination, Cheer can wireessy transmit actions between the eft and right devices. Instead of the istener having to adjust each device separatey, Binaura Coordination assures both instruments work together seamessy. Cheer the simpicity with: Voume and Program Changes Adjustments made to the voume eve or a istening program on one device are binauray synchronized to the other. The desired change automaticay occurs in both devices simutaneousy. Non-Teephone Ear Contro Cheer 60 Excusive When one ear engages its Auto Teephone istening program, Cheer specifies the other device as the nonteephone ear and reduces gain or mutes the input on that side. This reduces the distractions caused by sounds in the environment and increases the perception of voume from the teephone. * Cheer wireess modes ony
