Hi there,

How many decibels (dB) does each notch on the equalizer represent?

I’m going to see my Hearing Instrument Specialist (HIS) tomorrow to make some adjustments to the overall equalizer in AutoSense.

Thank you!

I believe it’s 3dB with a max increase/decrease of 12dB

Low - <290 Hz
Mid - 500-2.5 KHz
High - >1.5 KHz

These are the frequencies that the Equaliser affect

In the app, there is bass, middle, and treble frequency ranges. These ranges correspond to the following frequencies:

  • Bass: <290 Hz*
  • Middle: 500-2.5kHz
  • Treble: >1.5kHz

Each slider’s range is +/- 12dB in 3 dB increments. By looking at the patient’s frequency range adjustments in the app you can apply those changes to their Target fitting by changing the gain settings in these frequency ranges.

*Note: Patients with a closed coupling will notice more significant effects when changing the bass slider than those with an open coupling.

Thanks Zebras for the info

I don’t find the equalizer in this app very useful (doesn’t appear to have that much of an effect)- better make sure things are set to your liking in Target.

I do wonder why it doesn’t affect the higher frequencies as my Phonak Naida P70 UP Aids were adjusted up to 9kHz.

Might that be a limitation of the UP. I seem to remember there was very little headroom in the higher frequencies?

Thanks Ruth!

Much appreciated.

In UP - about 20 dB of gain at 8kHz.

Here is PR vs. SP comparison:
