Q / Q8

Invisible hearing

Q is a completely digital modular CIC hearing aid. This type of hearing aid is highly invisible while being worn, because of the deep fit in the ear canal. Due to the Q's inconspicuousness, it is very attractive for the more fashionable-aware client. The Q offers a natural sound experience as it preserves the directionality of the concha. The shape of the Q is created specifically for the rounder and wider ear canal.

Modular design

The same Q is for everybody and every ear, because of the modular design. Ear impressions are a hassle of the past. The use of soft tips makes it possible to fit Q directly, on the spot. A range of differently sized soft tips provides the audiologist with a lot of flexibility. The innovative design of the soft tip ensures minimal occlusion and makes it nearly impossible for cerumen to damage the device.

Advanced technology

The Q is equipped with four programs for different listening environments. By pushing a little button on the hearing aid, the program can be switched while the Q is in the ear. Furthermore, Q is provided with four compression channels and six frequency bands, in which adaptive noise reduction and adaptive feedback management are standardized integrated.

Q8: eight compression channels

Besides the Q with four compression channels, ExSilent also designed the Q8. This hearing aid provides eight compression channels and twelve frequency bands for optimal fitting. Furthermore, Q8 is equipped with data logging; a feature which stores daily usage and can be analyzed during examinations. Like the Q, the Q8 facilitates four programs, which can be set for different listening environments. In addition, Q8 offers adaptive noise reduction and an improved adaptive feedback management system.

IRIS: Use the resonance peak

For a more efficient and precise fitting of the Q8, we have developed an innovative option called IRIS; the Individual Resonance Improvement Shifter. With this option the gain compared to the individual ear canal resonance peak can be optimized by several decibels, and therefore increases speech intelligibility.
