The EAS Advantage

Features like SoundGuard, Private Alert, and Status Light are designed to reassure you that your processor is working correctly and to keep it on your ear, where it belongs.

SoundGuard continuously self-monitors all programmed data against possible inconsistencies, e.g., static electricity. If a problem is detected, SoundGuard stops stimulation automatically.

For users concerned about facing a sudden loss of battery power, the Private Alert function provides an acoustic warning signal to alert the user to change batteries. As setting changes are made with the FineTuner™ remote control, the DUET 2 provides corresponding acoustic signals. These signals confirm that setting changes have been made.

In addition to audio signals, the DUET 2 also provides optional visual indications in the form of a Status Light. Like the acoustic signals, the Status Light blinks to indicate low battery life and to show that setting changes have been made.

These features are designed not only to keep the processor working correctly, but also to reassure users that their DUET 2 is working reliably.

The world’s first credit card sized CI remote control

The FineTuner remote control allows users to make fine setting changes to volume or sensitivity while keeping your processor on the ear. For bilateral users, one single FineTuner remote control unit controls both processors independently.

Outstanding power efficiency provides 3-5 days of battery life from a single set of batteries.
 

For a more detailed hearing experience

Acoustic amplification has been raised to over 43dB and the acoustic frequency range has been optimised to 125–1700 Hz. This translates into a combined overall hearing range of 125–8500 Hz.

Convenience and simplicity

All DUET processors feature an ear mould similar to that of conventional hearing aids. With no electronic parts, these ear moulds can be inexpensively exchanged and new ones can easily be made.

Integrated features help you easily connect

A range of options including integrated telecoil, wireless access, or direct audio access via cable keeps you connected to a world of sound.
