Recommendations for changing Autosensitivity (ASC) breakpoint
Increasing the Autosensitivity breakpoint will make it less aggressive / prevent
it from turning down the sensitivity so much. Decreasing the Autosensitivity
breakpoint will make it turn down the sensitivity more. It is not recommended
to change both the Autosensitivity breakpoint and the base level (for the
ESPrit 3G processor). If you change base level breakpoint or Autosensitivity
breakpoint parameters from the default, it will result in a complex interaction
between the two. If you change one, it is recommended to set the other to
the default.

ENVIRONMENTS
A SmartSound

Environment provides guidance as to which SmartSound
option is best suited to a particular listening environment. Each environment
has a default option and sub-options for differing recipient needs. For a
Freedom
