Sound quality

Ponto sound processors are based on the sophisticated Oticon RISE sound processing platform. This chip supports several unique features developed to improve sound quality and listening comfort in quiet and noisy environments.

Unique, two-stage Feedback Management

All bone anchored processors aim to provide comfortable, feedback-free sound - but only the Ponto system is capable of launching a two-pronged attack on feedback.

1. A unique Feedback Manager in Genie Medical measures and applies individual feedback limits in the sound processor in order to prevent static feedback and facilitate the full use of the volume control without feedback.
   
   
2. At the slightest sign of accoustic feedback, Ponto's wellproven Dynamic Feedback Cancellation feature applies out-of-phase canceling to minimize feedback in the user's daily environment.

Wind Noise Reduction makes outdoor life more fun

Outdoor life can be great fun - until the wind hits the microphones of the sound processor! Ponto's Wind Noise Reduction system aims to combat this problem by automatically adjusting the amplification the instant wind noise is detected.

A unique feature for listening comfort

The unique Tri-State Noise Reduction system helps to improve listening comfort by identifying whether only speech is present, only noise is present, or whether there is a mixture of both. Depending on the situation, Ponto Pro and Ponto Pro Power will then reduce the noise, while protecting the important speech information.

Oticon’s RISE platform – the very same platform used in the most sophisticated hearing instruments – has facilitated the introduction of several unique sound processing features in Ponto. These are designed to offer new levels of freedom to users of bone anchored hearing systems.
