2 Meet Max

3 Max is a new Super Power hearing instrument from Unitron. Max believes in fighting over-amplification and protecting long term hearing health. Max believes that every feature should work towards the goal of maximizing speech intelligibility. Max believes that following industry standard fitting formulas provides the best speech intelligibility and overall awareness. Max believes that severe to profound clients need a hearing instrument that is built to last. Max is further proof that hearing instruments built on the Era platform make great things happen. Take a few minutes and get to know Max. You ll be glad that you did.

5 Max protection Clients with severe to profound hearing loss often demand ever-increasing levels of amplification. This may put their residual hearing at risk. Max is an industry-first Super Power hearing instrument that automatically puts an end to the over-amplification cycle that is so common in clients with severe to profound hearing loss. It allows you to provide the first fit your clients want, gently and automatically transitioning them over time to the levels you believe will provide the most benefit and protection.

6 Protects hearing Promotes happy Give them what they want at the start Max is the only Super Power hearing instrument on the market with Power Adaptation Manager, a feature that takes a gradual, controlled approach to reducing gain to the ideal level to maximize speech intelligibility and longterm hearing protection. Power Adaptation Manager lets you set the starting point at the frequency response clients expect, which can sometimes be well above prescribed target. This satisfies their desire for power and helps to ensure best first fit acceptance even for clients transitioning from analog to digital hearing instruments.

7 Protect their hearing in the end Gain is automatically reduced to an ideal level in imperceptible steps. Settings adapt each time the hearing instrument is powered on so clients are transitioned slowly, steadily and gently towards a safer level of amplification. The default target is prescribed by NAL or DSL and won t put residual hearing at risk. It s in your control With Power Adaptation Manager, you determine the right starting point for your client. Unitron TrueFit software is intelligent enough to provide a default timeline to reduce gain and MPO, but inherently flexible so that you have ultimate control to set the end fitting and timeline according to what you know will work best for your client. TARGET Danger Zone Safe Zone Clients transition from the first fit they expect to the target fitting you determine. The gradual adjustments are unnoticeable, while the long term benefits for speech intelligibility and hearing protection are profound. Initial fit TIME Target

13 1 2 Proven industry standards Unitron believes in fitting to NAL and DSL industry standard formulas because they offer more appropriate gain than proprietary formulas. Several decades of research indicate that using industry standard fitting rationales for prescribed gain targets will maximize speech intelligibility for those with severe to profound hearing loss. Shifting audibility Max includes frequency compression, an industry leading feature for severe to profound hearing loss. By shifting sounds away from areas where hearing is most damaged and compressing them into the audible range, clients experience a fuller range of sounds for improved awareness and speech intelligibility. 125 hz 8 khz

14 3Intelligibility plus awareness Max has customized the Unitron signature feature SmartFocus for the Super Power category. The optimized performance of directional microphones, speech enhancement, noise reduction and gain work synergistically in relation to one another so that clients automatically experience the best speech understanding or comfort as the situation demands, without compromising awareness.

16 Protection to the Max The power to last Reliability takes on an entirely new meaning when you depend on your hearing instrument to connect you to everyday life. From the average to the extreme, Max was built to stand up to whatever comes its way. Water Max is water resistant thanks to plasma coating that protects against humidity, dampness and perspiration. Corrosion The plasma coating is molecularly bound to the hearing instrument surface providing corrosion protection that lasts. Extremes A robust shell is proven to protect against extreme temperatures, impact, shock, dust and debris for vital endurance and reliability.
