26 User Guide for the Auria Harmony Sound Processor

Part 4: Hearing with Your Harmony Processor

Audio Mixing

Audio mixing refers to the ampliﬁ cation ratio between your processor built-in

microphone and any audio device connected to the processor post (this includes the

T-Mic as well). Audio mixing allows your processor microphone to pick up nearby

external sounds when connected to an audio device. This is important if you want

to hear your voice or other sounds in the environment when connected to an audio

device. Audio mixing is set by your audiologist during programming. A variety of

audio options are available to meet your listening needs.

Earhooks

Auria Standard Earhook

When using the Standard Earhook, the built-in microphone located at the top of the

processor is the primary source for capturing sound.

Auria T-Mic® Microphone

The T-Mic Microphone is an integrated earhook and microphone combination. The

microphone is omni-directional (accepts sound from all directions) and is designed

to ﬁ t in the open bowl portion of your ear. The T-Mic is appropriate for everyday use

and may provide improved beneﬁ t in difﬁ cult listening situations, such as in noisy

environments or on the phone.

NOTE: When ﬁ tting the T-Mic over your ear, bend by placing ﬁ nger near the

microphone and pushing gently. Avoid sharp angles (90°or greater) as

they can shorten the lifespan of the T-Mic. Keep the T-Mic clean and

dry. Dust, dirt, and excessive moisture could cause premature failure of

the T-Mic.
