This feature delays sound from entering your hearing instrument when it is first turned on, so that you may insert the hearing instrument into your ear without experiencing unpleasant feedback (whistling).
Using the volume control Optional Your IMPACT Pro hearing instrument is fully automatic. There is no need to manually adjust the volume control. However, if you prefer manual volume control, your IMPACT Pro hearing instrument can be programmed for manual adjustment. This will be done by your NHS audiologist.
