LOOK ITE, HS, ITC, CIC Spec Sheet - NuEarFeatures Sound Imaging
LOOK Premier
Optimal high-resolution sound imaging with frequency shaping in all
16 channels and 16 bands
LOOK Pro High-resolution sound imaging with frequency shaping in 12
channels and 12 bands
LOOK Prestige Frequency shaping in 8 channels and 8 bands
Binaural Spatial Mapping Available in LOOK Premier and Pro. This
innovative protocol queries, analyzes, and maps the acoustic space
surrounding the patient, applying the appropriate signal processing
strategy for directionality and noise management.
Vivid Speech2 nearly doubles the noise reduction capability of our
leading noise reduction and speech preservation system while still
maintaining speech. Vivid Speech2:
• 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 ClearFocus 2*
• Provides up to 20dB of noise reduction
Speech Shift This new frequency lowering technology is a smart
solution for patients who have steeply sloping, high-frequency
hearing loss. It is designed to enhance real-time audibility by
intelligently identifying high-frequency speech cues – then
replicating them in lower frequencies.
Sound Enhancements Our signal processing architecture has been
updated to enhance the overall sound quality and efficiency of
LOOK, including new vent modeling, automatic vent detection,
improved compression and updated eSTAT targets.
Vivid Speech Boost Activated via SurfLink™ Remote, this feature
allows patients to enable aggressive noise reduction while
optimizing sound quality in extremely noisy situations.
Self Learning gradually and automatically learns patient volume
control preferences in each active memory, which helps reduce the
number of manual volume control adjustments patients need to
make.
Active Feedback Suppressor This leading technology ensures wide
fitting ranges and a fast response to more complex feedback.
HydraShield®2 NuEar’s proprietary moisture protection system
integrates a new oleophobic nano-coating designed to better protect
hearing aids from earwax and other oily substances making LOOK more
reliable and durable than ever before.
T2 Remote allows your patients to control their hearing aid for
memory or volume adjustments using any cell or touch-tone phone,
avoiding the need to carry additional hardware.
Swap Fit fitting function allows you to transfer patient settings
from their current NuEar product to a new one — enabling more time
for fine-tuning and counseling.
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.
Live Real Ear Measurement Combined with the power of Inspire®
fitting software, it lets you see the hearing aid output in your
patient’s ear in real-ear SPL.
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.
Leisure Listening Memories
• TV memory program designed for optimal performance while watching
television
• Multiple music genre settings designed to maximize sound quality
and listening enjoyment
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.
SurfLink Accessories
• SurfLink Programmer gives you the ultimate speed and flexibility
in wireless programming.
• SurfLink Media allows patients to wirelessly connect to virtually
any media device with no pairing or body-worn device
required.
• SurfLink Remote provides patients with a way to adjust their
hearing instruments discreetly and easily.

Measurement Conditions and Recommendations
The data for LOOK are obtained and performance is expressed
according to ANSI S3.22 (2003), ANSI S3.7 (1995), ANSI C63.19
(2007), IEC 60118-7 (2005), IEC 60711 (1981), DIN 45605 (1989)
and IEC 60118-0 (1983) with Amendment 1 (1994-01). The NuEar
proprietary Real Time Analyzer and the NuEar Automated Design
Verification Test System comprise the basic test equipment. Data
may be subject to change with product refinement.
Because of the adaptive signal processing capabilities of LOOK
hearing instruments, the hearing instrument must be set to test
mode to compare the actual performance of the hearing instrument
with these specifications. LOOK hearing instruments may be set to
test mode with Inspire® by reading the hearing aid and selecting
the “Hearing Aid Test” screen from the menu on the left side of the
Inspire window, then selecting the “Full on Gain” button.
