A Deeper Look at OpenSound Navigator

---

1.  In Open Sound Navigator: Noise reduction works both long-term and also extremely rapidly Speech signals from the back and sides are treated the same The directional system isolates it's knowledge from the noise reduction process All of the above

2.  Open Sound Navigator in OPN2 and OPN3: Works exactly the same way as OPN1 Uses the same principles as OPN1, but with less effect Only operates using directionality None of the above

3.  The Noise Removal in Open Sound Navigator: Can create a new noise reduction solution for each phoneme Looks only at the broadband characteristics of noise Works only on soft noises None of the above

4.  In Open Sound Navigator, the analysis: Is updated only when the overall level of the talker changes Is updated approximately 100 times per second Works only on the broadband signal None of the above

5.  The Analysis stage: Is something that was also used on our previous Inium Sense platform Is typical of all modern hearing aids Required the processing power of the Velox platform All of the above

6.  The Analysis Stage feeds information about the nature of the sound environment to: The Balance function only The Noise Removal function only Both the Balance and Noise Removal functions None of the above

7.  OPN2 and OPN3 differ from OPN1 in what ways: Several areas including the effectiveness of Open Sound Navigator, Number of Channels, Effectiveness of Speech Guard Only in terms of size Only in terms of price Only in terms of bandwidth

8.  Noise Removal in Open Sound Navigator: Only works on sounds coming from the back Only works on sounds coming from the front Cannot reduce noise from any direction None of the above

9.  The Open Sound Navigator controls in Genie: Only adjust the Noise Removal portion Only adjust the Balance behavior of the product Adjust both the Balance and Noise Removal None of the above

10.  In the Open Sound Navigator: A backward facing polar plot provides an estimate of the noise to be eliminated The directionality works rapidly in sixteen channels Noise reduction is assisted by knowing the characteristics of the noise signal from the back and sides All of the above
