SAMBA distinguishes between different hearing situations (e.g. a loud environment, music, conversations in a quiet environment) and automatically adjusts to the most appropriate setting. The audio processor also has the ability to learn and recognise manual adjustments that you make regularly in the respective situations. For example, if you always readjust the volume in a quiet environment, SAMBA recognises and stores this information. The basic stored settings are then automatically readjusted by the system as required. This saves you from having to make frequent readjustments and fitting appointments with the audiologist.

The adaptive directional microphones automatically identify and minimise noise interference. This feature is particularly helpful in situations where there is loud background noise, such as in a restaurant. With SAMBA, you can give your full attention to the person you are talking to - noise interference behind you and beside you is automatically cut out..

This special feature enables SAMBA to automatically recognise the direction from which the speech is coming and make the corresponding adjustment to the directionality of the microphone to provide an optimum focus on speech. This is particularly useful when you aren't facing the direction of the speaker when you are driving your car and your passengers are talking to you. You will no longer have any problem hearing them.

You can select one of five programs, each with its own individual settings, for particular situations (e.g. for a noisy environment or for TV and music). This makes SAMBA quick and easy to use.
