Active Lifestyle Hearing Technology AGX9

AGX9: A Premium Hearing System for the Active Lifestyle

AGX9 technology was designed for individuals who lead active lifestyles and whose listening environments include frequent background noise.  Active lifestyles often feature: a variety of video and audio entertainment, diverse restaurant dining, sporting events, outdoor activities, demanding careers, group participation, family gatherings, movies, driving, mall shopping, and church activities.

AGX9: The most comprehensive personal hearing technology available

By combining patented features that you won’t find anywhere else, AGX9 overcomes many of the limitations faced by more conventional systems and creates a more natural sound experience.

Noise Reduction

AGX9’s Noise Reduction Technology reduces distracting background sounds that make it difficult to communicate using less advanced hearing systems. The Noise Reduction Technology includes two key elements: Gain Dependent Expansion and Adaptive Noise Reduction. These technologies work together to limit the amount of noise you hear, so that important sounds (such as speech) are not overpowered.

Multi-Layered Directionality

AGX9 combines the best ideas in directionality to help you recognize where important sound is coming from and focus on that sound without the distraction of ambient noise. Directionality is especially helpful when trying to understand speech because it can emphasize the sounds originating in front of you (usually the speaker) while deemphasizing those originating from the side or behind you (background noise). By layering Configurable Directionality, Conventional Directionality and Automatic Directionality, we feel that AGX9’s Multi-Layered Directionality system exceeds the performance of all commercial directional hearing systems on the market today.

Reaction Technology

Reaction Technology is the basis for AGX9’s outstanding performance and flexibility. Your hearing system will monitor your listening environments continuously, detect and analyze changes, and adapt to new conditions within milliseconds. All this helps to ensure that you don’t miss any important communication.

A Natural-Sounding Voice

People wearing hearing systems frequently comment that their voice sounds unnatural – as though they are “talking in a barrel.” This experience is normal when wearing hearing systems; however, it shouldn’t be distracting while trying to communicate. AGX9 allows your AudigyCertified™ professional to make external and internal changes to your hearing system to improve the sound of your own voice. AGX9 offers several unique tools including: Voice Management, low-frequency adjustments, and open vents to combat the “barrel effect.”

Feedback Cancellation

Feedback cancellation ensures proper amplification of the sounds you want to hear without the annoyance of a whistle or squeal, which can distract you and those around you.

User-Focused Options

In addition to its breakthrough technologies, AGX9 also offers:

• Multi-Memory Listening Programs
• Optional Telecoil for listening on the phone
• Optional Volume Control
• Indicator tones that notify you when the hearing system is turned on, listening programs are changed, the volume control is adjusted, or the battery needs to be changed
