BluWave™ Signal Processing At the heart of each Micro-Tech hearing instrument is our new proprietary BluWave Signal Processing, designed to maximize performance in the challenging listening environments your patients deal with today. Like computers, today's most advanced hearing aids manage multiple complex programs. These systems eliminate feedback, provide optimal performance in noise, manage power, enhance telephone performance and log crucial data. BluWave SP processes system data while managing inputs, and responds by allocating internal resources to more efficiently and accurately control output parameters. Similar to an operating system that runs a computer, BluWave provides the foundation to concurrently run multiple applications necessary to eliminate feedback while simultaneously characterizing and classifying the incoming signal into meaningful audio environments. Seamless, unprecedented clarity in noise and high resolution sound imaging that results in efficient adaptation for the patient. With extensive research and clinical evidence, Micro-Tech has taken its technology to the next level. BluWave Signal Processing efficiently integrates Micro-Tech's best-in-class features to create the industry's best outcomes.

With the highest free-field and KEMAR DIs available and the lowest operational noise floor, you can ensure your patient is comfortable and speech is audible in almost any situation.

Micro-Tech's hearing instruments provide increased intelligibility in all situations, improving sound quality and speech audibility.

Exclusive to Micro-Tech, IREM is the only built-in real ear measurement system as accurate as a real ear machine — within ±3 dB. Hearing care professionals around the world have reported this easy-to-use feature improved their fitting accuracy.

One of their goals is to develop more refined algorithims that characterize sound and process the unique signatures of these individual sounds. We call this environmental adaptation protocal Acoustic Signature. BluWave Signal Processing characterizes incoming sounds by sorting the frequency, timing and intensity of these sound sources. Once characterized and classified, Micro-Tech's hearing instruments with Acoustic Signature applies optimal frequency and compression parameters for that specific sound source. Sounds are classified as speech, speech in noise, noise, mechanical sounds, wind and quiet — each of these is managed by a special signal processing strategy in Micro-Tech's hearing instruments.
	Touchless Telephone Response This function allows Micro-Tech's hearing instruments to switch automatically into telephone mode so use of a standard telephone is as easy as picking up the receiver.
	Smart Features Hearing aids aren't helpful if people don't wear them. And too often, patients become confused when learning to use their hearing aids, abandoning the use of multiple features or programs. That's why Micro-Tech's hearing instruments have convenient features to make using the devices simple and intuitive. Voice Indicators: gives you the option of using speech, with male or female voices available in a variety of languages, to alert your patients to the status of their hearing aid: low battery, memory, and telephone mode. Self Check: allows you and your patients to perform a diagnostic check of the microphone, circuit, and receiver by opening and closing the battery door three times. This information is then retained for you to view and use in counseling. Reminder: offers you the option of programming audible voice or tone reminders for follow-up appointments and maintenance checks.
