SeboTek Introduces InFocus' Lifestyles'

LES' Feature allows fast, efficient, custom fitting of hearing instruments designed for each patients individual hearing loss and lifestyle

TULSA, OK (Oct. 26, 2006) SeboTek Hearing Systems has introduced InFocus' Lifestyles', a software feature designed to make fitting fast and efficient for practitioners and patients, while providing a same-session fitting custom-designed for each patients individual hearing loss and lifestyle. InFocus Lifestyles is available as part of SeboTeks Pro-VES' 4.7 software, and can be used to program any SeboTek hearing instrument, including its newest premium-level device, the Voice-Q 721.

When designing this software, our engineers, audiology and product development teams did so with both the practitioner and patient in mind, said SeboTek President Jim Feeley. It engages the patient, and invites them to embrace the process to better hearing. At the same time, it makes fitting fast and efficient, leaving the practitioner with more time for counseling and patient careequally critical to ensuring long-term success for each patient.

Feeley said InFocus Lifestyles is a natural extension of the companys InFocus approach to total integration of advanced design and technology.

Digital technology continues to positively impact the level of assistance that can be provided to anyone with hearing loss. Yet as technology advances, so can the complexity involved in custom programming each device. Lifestyles is designed to simplify the process, he said.

InFocus Lifestyles provides hearing care professionals with single-click access to sophisticated algorithms for 17 different environments. Depending upon the level of device chosen, practitioners can then program up to four different memories to match the individual lifestyle and needs of each patient. Typically, these advanced algorithms come so close to the fitting targets that no further adjustment is needed. Yet, in cases where a practitioner may wish to make adjustments, fine tuning controls are readily available.

SeboTeks latest software release also includes additional features such as Auto Relate, enhanced Copy/Balance functionality and adaptive feature controls.

Pro-VES 4.7 with InFocus Lifestyles is Noah 2.0 and 3.0 compatible, and is available from SeboTek Hearing Systems by calling 1.800.388.9041.

In addition to Pro-VES 4.7 with InFocus Lifestyles, SeboTek also recently announced the release of the Voice-Q 721, a premium-level hearing instrument with IntelliSound' 128 Channel Adaptive Noise Reduction, AFX' Adaptive Feedback Eliminator, Ultra-Wideband Dual Directionality, and more.
