Moxi takes open-fit performance where it has never been before. Also powered by Era, Moxi is a beautiful little canal receiver technology (CRT) hearing instrument, with performance that goes far beyond great looks. An integrated open-fit strategy makes for an incredible listening experience, combining three proprietary technologies – Automatic Program with SmartFocus™, Natural Sound Balance and Pinna Effect - to deliver high fidelity sound.

Announcing TrueFit – Intuitive and flexible fitting software

Unitron TrueFit™ fitting software was designed in collaboration with hearing healthcare professionals with their client’s needs in mind. It features intuitive and easy to navigate screens that provide hearing healthcare professionals with all the tools they need for a successful fit. 

Two product families, four signature features

Quantum and Moxi product families each leverage four signature features. These are:

• Automatic performance with SmartFocus™ - Long recognized for a superior automatic approach, Unitron advances this technology by enabling the custom blending of the hearing instruments’ response based on high-resolution sensing and precise classification of the complex sound environment. The Automatic Program is further enhanced by SmartFocus, technology at work in the background that combines adaptive features for optimal speech intelligibility or comfort depending on the situation, to provide a truly effortless way to enjoy all of life’s sounds. 
  
  
• Pinna Effect - The location of hearing instrument microphones alters the natural sound enjoyed by people with normal hearing. Pinna Effect uniquely corrects for the location of the hearing instrument microphones, providing more natural directionality, particularly at high frequencies. 
  
  
• Natural Sound Balance - Continuously monitors the combination of unamplified and amplified sounds entering the ear canal and makes precise adaptive adjustments to deliver one clear, balanced signal. 
  
  
• Best in class wireless - The Era platform offers the most advanced broadband wireless capabilities, offering a fast and stable wireless connection.

“Unitron continues to make dramatic improvements in platform design and in the technology powering our hearing instruments. The Era platform along with the Quantum and Moxi product families and new TrueFit software is the culmination of the efforts of Unitron’s research & design team who are united by a passion to build nothing but the best for our customers and their clients,” says Ara Talaslian, Vice President of Research & Development, Unitron.
