Qualitone's Line of Digital Hearing Instruments

As a division of the world’s leading custom hearing instrument manufacturer, Qualitone offers a comprehensive family of digital hearing solutions available with a wide variety of advanced signal processing features. All Qualitone digital products feature exclusive Precision Audio Imaging (PAI) and Integrated Directional Processing (IDP) technologies.

PAI’s combination of capabilities incorporates Qualitone’s proven compression technology, along with maximum levels of audibility and fidelity offering you more comfortable and consistent hearing in a variety of situations. IDP continuously monitors your sound environment and narrows the hearing instrument’s sound reception pattern when noise levels reach consistently higher volumes.

Marquise Digital Signal Processor
Marquise is our premier digital technology, with an exclusive set of features unlike any other instrument available. Marquise’s new dynamic IDP algorithm automatically adapts the hearing instrument’s directional microphone to the focus on the area in front of you, where most conversations take place. Indicator tones for low battery warning, memory switching and volume control settings increase your hearing comfort by making it easier to find the appropriate listening level.

Marquise’s patented digital algorithm also helps minimize and eliminate the onset of feedback, a common nemesis to other hearing instruments. Within its elaborate frequency channel network, the algorithm detects feedback before it becomes audible. It then reduces levels in just those specific channels, with no noticeable effect on perceived volume levels. Available in a complete range of sizes from BTE to CIC, Marquise’s wide dynamic range compression, noise management, feedback cancellation, and expansion capabilities make it an ideal solution for the most demanding hearing needs and environments.

Triliant Digital Signal Processor
Trilliant offers a variety of value-enhanced features that improve your overall listening experience. User activated IDP technology improves hearing in difficult listening situations found in restaurants, parties and other loud gatherings. Adaptive noise management and multichannel expansion allow for crisp and clear sound quality in all types of listening environments. And feedback, a common problem with most digital instruments is virtually eliminated with Qualitone’s adaptive feedback management algorithm.

Triliant’s three wide dynamic range compression channels allow your hearing professional to specifically adjust the instrument’s frequency response to precisely match your hearing loss. Indicator tones for low battery warning, memory switching and volume control settings increase your hearing comfort by making it easier to find the appropriate listening level. Triliant is available in all styles from BTE to CIC, and is appropriate for patients requiring advanced digital technology for a variety of listening environments.


Evolution Digital Signal Processor
Evolution offers digital fidelity with an increased frequency range to compensate for a variety of hearing losses. User activated IDP technology improves hearing in difficult listening situations found in restaurants, parties and other loud gatherings.  Expansion technology ensures that circuit and low-level environmental noises from ventilation systems and other household appliances do not interfere with the vital speech components critical for maximum audibility.  Indicator tones for low battery warning, memory switching and volume control settings increase your hearing comfort by making it easier to find the appropriate listening level. Available in all sizes from BTE to CIC for most types of impairment, Evolution is well suited for variable listening environments.

Quantum Digital Signal Processor
Quantum provides the value and sophistication of digital technology with an emphasis on simplicity. User activated IDP technology improves hearing in difficult listening situations found in restaurants, parties and other loud gatherings.  Expansion technology ensures that circuit and low-level environmental noises from ventilation systems and other household appliances do not interfere with the vital speech components critical for maximum audibility. Indicator tones for low battery warning, memory switching and volume control settings increase your hearing comfort by making it easier to find the appropriate listening level. Available in all sizes from BTE to CIC for most types of impairment, Quantum is an effective solution for those with the most basic digital amplification requirements.

Ultra Series
Qualitone’s Ultra non-programmable digital product line offers hearing aid wearers six flexible instruments appropriate for a variety of hearing losses. Precision digital signal processing and a restyled shell design combined with low distortion output compression limiting circuitry make Ultra instruments a highly reliable and effective choice. Circuit choices include Ultra Linear and Adaptive Compression, Ultra WDRC, Ultra Input Compression, Ultra High Frequency and Ultra Power. All products are available with a variety of custom configurations including telecoil options, directional microphone capabilities and wax protection systems.

Your hearing professional can provide a detailed explanation about the Ultra product family’s many features and how they can benefit your hearing requirements.
