Audibel A2 Feature Summary Audibel A2 products are available with and without wireless capabilities. Audibel A2 product names contain Wireless to signify wireless technology – Audibel A2 Wireless Platinum, Audibel A2 Wireless Gold, and Audibel A2 Wireless Silver.
Audibel A2 wouldn’t be an Audibel product without our WhistleFree Feedback Cancellation. This leading technology ensures wide fitting ranges and a fast response to more complex feedback.
IRIS™ Technology leverages a unique ear-to-ear communication protocol. Binaural Spatial Mapping** applies the combined speed and power of multiple dual-core platforms to achieve parallel processing benefits. This innovative protocol queries, analyzes, and maps the acoustic space surrounding the patient, applying the appropriate signal processing strategy for directionality and noise management.
HydraShield®2 Omniphobic nano-coating provides unprecedented resistance against wax, oils and everyday moisture.
Active Noise Control2 nearly doubles the noise reduction capability of our leading noise reduction and speech preservation system while still maintaining speech. Active Noise control2: • Instantly applies variable noise adaptation in all channels between each pause • Has been proven to reduce listening effort and cognitive fatigue when used in tandem with Superior Speech Locator* • Provides up to 20dB of noise reduction JustTalk**, a mode on our new SurfLink Mobile, enables true hands-free phone conversations by turning the wearer’s Audibel A2 hearing aids into both the cell phone microphone and receiver. A new control switch gives users a simple, tactile way to control volume and change memories. Users will enjoy more dynamic and personalized sound with Audibel A2’s new ISO Compression. The 312 RIC features SnapFit receivers, which offer easier receiver connection and ensure greater stability. Unlike competing technologies that apply frequency compression broadly, our frequency lowering technology, Active Frequency Control, is designed to enhance real-time audibility by intelligently identifying high-frequency speech cues, then replicating them in lower frequencies. This allows Audibel A2 to maintain important frequency relationships, retaining the sound quality that comes from harmonic distribution, while providing audibility for high-frequency speech cues for patients that may have previously been considered unaidable.
Our Swap Fit fitting function allows you to transfer patient settings from their current Audibel product to a new one — enabling more time for fine-tuning and counseling. With Synchronized User Adjustments** patients can use a single hearing instrument to adjust volume or memory for the pair — eliminating the need to manually change two instruments. Binaural Telephone Mode** places the phone-side hearing aid in Automatic Telephone Response or Telecoil mode while attenuating the off-side hearing aid. Superior Speech Locator in Audibel A2 hearing aids is designed to better perform in highly complex environments with background noise. Voice Indicators alert your patients to the status of their hearing aid, low battery, memory and telephone modes in their choice of male or female voices in a wide variety of languages. Automatic Telephone Solutions (ATS) automatically detects telephone use and adjusts to the optimal acoustic frequency response for telephone listening. Bring the benefits of telehealth to your practice with our On Demand options. Each one is designed to elevate your interaction with patients and provide a better way for you to deliver care. Includes T2 On Demand, Audiology On Demand™ and innovative applications that work with the iPad®, iPhone® and iPod Touch®.
Color Options Standard Colors NEW!
Activated via SurfLink Remote, our Active Noise Control Boost** feature allows patients to enable aggressive noise reduction while optimizing sound quality in extremely noisy situations.

Thanks to Self Learning, Audibel A2 gradually and automatically learns patient volume control preferences in each active memory, which helps reduce the number of manual volume adjustments patients need to make.

LIFE WITHOUT LIMITATIONS
SurfLink Media SurfLink Media provides patients with the first set-and-forget media streaming solution. Simply plug a TV, radio or MP3 player into SurfLink Media and rich, stereo sound is streamed directly to any wireless hearing aids in range without pairing or body-worn relay devices. SurfLink Media:
• Streams stereo sound directly from media devices to the patient’s hearing aids without pairing or body-worn relay devices • Uses Intelligent Media Mobility to allow seamless room-to-room transitions between media devices
• Enables multiple people wearing wireless hearing aids to connect to a single device • Eliminates audio delay and lip-sync issues* commonly found with other wireless systems • Helps prevent patients and companions from fighting over the volume

Unlike competing technologies that apply frequency compression broadly, our frequency audibility technology, Active Frequency Control, is designed to enhance real-time audibility by intelligently identifying high-frequency speech cues, then replicating them in lower frequencies. This allows Invisibel to maintain important frequency relationships, retaining the sound quality that comes from harmonic distribution, while providing audibility for high-frequency speech cues for patients that may have previously been considered unaidable.
