Spatial Sound 2.0

Spatial Sound 2.0 organizes the sound environment and maximizes intelligibility.

The Binaural Compression System in Agil helps preserve loudness differences between ears. These tiny differences are extremely important for the brain to navigate in a room full of sound.

A new Binaural Noise Management System in Agil mimics the brain's natural ability to focus on where to listen. It prioritizes the ear with the better signal when there is loud noise to one side. It can then apply more noise reduction to the instrument on the noisy side. This frees the wearer to better focus on a specific speaker. 

Spatial Sound 2.0
Spatial Sound 2.0 in Agil preserves spatial cues and supports the process of organizing various sounds sources as illustrated in this coffee shop.

The coffee machine to the listener's left is producing excessive noise as compared to the child's voice. The wireless Binaural Noise Management system detects the dramatic change in the SNR between the ears.

The Binaural Noise Management System in Spatial Sound 2.0 attenuates the noise signal on the left ear and adds gain to the right to enhance the speech signal.
