ExSilent's Ytango: World's First Behind-The-Ear (BTE) With Microphone And Receiver In The Canal (MaRiC)

The Ytango achieves natural ear directivity by placing bothmicrophone and receiver in the outer ear canal.

Today, ExSilent introduces Ytango, the first-ever behind-the-ear hearing aid system with MaRiC. This new, patented technology places the microphone inside the ear canal, allowing the concha and the ear canal to retain their natural acoustic sound-enhancing properties. With the Ytango, people experience natural sound, enabling them to better pinpoint where sound comes from, to experience less wind noise and to retain the ability to understand conversation in noisy situations.

The new Ytango product line consists of three devices:

• The Ytango, a behind-the-ear device with MaRiC for natural hearing. High-quality components and advanced technology ensure the highest quality sound and prolonged wearing comfort.
• The Ytango Pro adds AirTAP™, another technology first from ExSilent, originally introduced on the Qleaf Pro CIC in February 2011. AirTAP lets you select programs with a slight touch. Simply pat your ear and the Ytango Pro switches smoothly through four personal preset programs to adapt to different listening situations.
• The Ytango Pro-T adds a telecoil, opening the doors for people with hearing loss to listen to their mobile phones, MP3 players and other audio equipment, using a Bluetooth-enabled neck loop.

The Ytango includes newly designed soft domes in different sizes with an open or closed fit, minimizing the occlusion effect and ensuring a comfortable fit in any ear. The soft domes render the need for ear impressions obsolete. ExSilent will demonstrate prototypes from the Ytango series at AudiologyNOW!
