The Arenz offers 16, 24 and 32 programmable channels for an optimal hearing experience. Though small in size, the Arenz offers big sound. Features include dual microphones, to offer better sound quality and enhanced noise cancelation performance. The Arenz also features Tinnitus WaveForm™ technology, for those who suffer with tinnitus.
Product Features
Intuitive Noise Cancellation3™
Noise cancellation on the Arenz consists of three coordinated elements. Using a matched pair of microphones, a directional noise reduction system reduces ambient noise by up to 90%. This forms a focused cone of listening towards the front of the patient. Next, a steering mechanism orients the area of greatest noise suppression in the direction of the strongest noise resulting in even better clarity. The noise that remains is now addressed by a fully adaptive temporal noise reduction algorithm that incorporates the ability to distinguish speech and music from noise, thus providing excellent noise reduction performance without sacrificing or distorting the sound that the wearer wishes to hear.
Feedback Management
Feedback control has always been an area of strength for Zounds’ hearing aids and the Arenz brings new features to the arsenal. The first of these is an improved feedback cancellation digital filter which is better able to predict the feedback component so that it can be eliminated. A significantly reduced processing delay means that feedback can be cancelled in about a third of the time as our previous hearing aids. Adaptive entrainment control is a new feature that further reduces any remaining artifacts by dynamically adjusting the feedback canceller’s constraints to a user-specific, trained, coefficient set. Finally, a patented system of five adaptive notch filters, driven by an advanced feedback detection algorithm, attacks feedback components as soon as they appear. Together, this truly puts ‘feedback on hold.’
ZActiveLife / WindShear
A new wind noise reduction capability is standard on the Arenz. A high performance wind detector is used to determine when wind is present and a digital filter is deployed to reduce its impact. Enjoy the outdoors again!
EnviroSenze Ultra
The Arenz brings new capabilities in its ability to adapt itself to the auditory scene. The ambient sound pressure level is continuously monitored and is used to dynamically adjust the aggressiveness of the Intuitive Noise Cancellation3 so that it is fully active in high noise scenarios but backs off when the wearer moves to a quieter scenario. The new MicArray Sync™ feature continuously monitors the health of the microphones and adjusts their output so that the directional noise reduction system operates perfectly - even when the hearing aid is repeatedly exposed to the elements.
Shock Sound Suppression
With the Arenz comes the Shock Sound Suppression system that minimizes the transient impact of short sharp sounds like car doors being closed.
Easy Adjustments with ClearSpeak feature
The Arenz features different modes for your changing environment. A simple tap on the back of the aid allows you to switch betweenpre-set Party, Music, Dining and Quiet modes. The hearing aid confirms the mode change with a spoken notification. A tap also adjusts volume settings.
LifeStyle Analytics
Zounds recognizes that it’s not possible for wearers to record everything about their hearing aids and describe each situation on their next visit to a Zounds Hearing Center. Arenz includes ourLifeStyle Analytics feature that maintains a log of the hearing aid’s condition and environment of up to a year’s worth of information. The hearing consultant can use this information to make adjustments to the fitting, provide advice on usage, change the battery, or perform other maintenance so that the hearing aids continue to perform to the best of their capability.
Tinnitus WaveForm™ Technology
For those suffering with tinnitus, Zounds offer Tinnitus WaveForm™ technology to provide soothing, all day relief. Your hearing aid will be programmed to meet your unique needs.
New Generation Protection for Improved Wearability
The Arenz features the latest in specialized coatings, designed to improve wearability and durability. A Nano Hydrophobic Coating creates a water-resistant barrier that provides additional protection to the hearing aid. It also renders the hearing aid extremely easy to clean, as one swipe with a clean cloth will clean the surface. A Sweat-proof Membrane creates a moisture barrier and repels wax particles that can clog up ports. Our new Multi-surface Coating
protects against natural oils and corrosive substances like hair products. Together, these new features will provide added protection for your hearing aid.
