BluWave Signal Processing
At the heart of each Virtue™ hearing instrument is our proprietary BluWave™ Signal Processing, designed for excellent performance in the challenging listening environments patients deal with every day. Like computers, today's most advanced hearing aids manage multiple complex programs. These systems manage the many "soundscapes" you move through every day by eliminating feedback, providing excellent performance in noise, managing power, enhancing telephone listening and tracking information about the aid itself.
