sometimes even uncomfortable. Phonak has pioneered tremendous advances in signal processing allowing Certéna to provide
freedom from feedback, clear speech understanding and comfortable listening in changing environments.

WhistleBlock Technology - freedom from feedback
A whistling sound, called feedback, is one of the most common annoyances of hearing instruments. Thanks to WhistleBlock
Technology, Certéna functions reliably without the annoyance of feedback.
- No more whistling
- Instantly and accurately differentiates feedback from other tonal sounds like those in music
- Self-determines when it is needed and automatically activates and adjusts
- Sound quality remains excellent and speech is clear
- Permits more volume without feedback than any competitive system
Digital AudioZoom - clarity in noise
Imagine yourself in a restaurant, at a party or a family gathering. In these situations there is usually
background noise that might make it difficult for you to understand conversations. Certéna uses a method of
enhancing speech understanding in noise - directional microphone technology.
- Zooms in on the speech in front of you while reducing the noise behind you
- Automatically activates when needed
NoiseBlock Processing - comfortable listening
Environmental noises like motors, fans and engines can be quite uncomfortable. NoiseBlock Processing effectively diminishes these bothersome sounds.
- Continuously analyzes the environment
- Recognizes the differences between speech and other sounds and automatically reduces some of the noise
SoundFlow Standard - automatic adjustments
Many modern systems have different programs for different situations, like a quiet room versus a noisy environment.
However, most situations are not completely quiet or totally noisy, but some of both. The exclusive Phonak SoundFlow technology
automatically finds the best combination of settings and creates a special program for different situations.
- With SoundFlow Standard, Certéna continuously adjusts to quiet verses noisy environments
- Smooth transitions between situations so you don%u2019t even notice the changes

How Certéna Will Connect You to the World
Wireless connectivity
Watching television, listening to music and using telephones and other electronic devices has always been a
challenge for users of hearing instruments. iCom communication interface changes all that, opening up the world of connectivity to you.
Make hands-free phone calls and hear with both ears
iCom lets you hear phone calls in both hearing instruments.
- iCom receives a signal from any Bluetooth enabled mobile phone or Bluetooth phone adapter (Bluetooth is a
common wireless technology used in many modern electronic devices)
- One touch of the button accepts and ends calls
- Calls are transmitted wirelessly, in real time, to both hearing instruments
- State-of-the-art microphones in iCom pick up your voice for a clear signal back to the caller
- With a transmission range of up to 10 meters between your phone and iCom, your movement is virtually unrestricted
Enjoy music and more with wireless audio
- iCom connects to virtually any sound producing device
- Wireless connections to Bluetooth enabled or adapted devices, like laptops, MP3 players, navigation systems, stereos etc.
- For non-Bluetooth devices, connection with audio cable is also an option
- Either way, iCom transmits the real-time audio signal to both hearing instruments for easy enjoyment, no matter what the device
Access to FM solutions - hear far-away speakers
FM technology improves hearing and understanding in challenging situations where the speaker is far away, like in classrooms,
meetings and seminars. An FM system consists of a microphone transmitter worn by the speaker or teacher and a receiver which picks
up the signal from the transmitter and sends it to the hearing instruments. Certéna is compatible with a wide range of FM solutions.

Certéna automatically adapts to your sound environment. However, years of experience have proven that some people like to have the
option of controlling their hearing instruments.
