ON Semiconductor, driving energy efficient innovations, continues to grow its broad portfolio of ultra-low-power solutions for the hearing health industry by unveiling the Ezairo Preconfigured Suite (Pre Suite), a development toolkit enabling turnkey solutions based on the company’s Ezairo 7100 Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
The wireless-enabled Ezairo 7150 SL is the first hybrid module to be supported by the Ezairo Pre Suite, with a firmware bundle that makes it easier to build wireless-enabled hearing aids. It features Wide Dynamic Range Compression (WDRC), adaptive noise reduction, support for directional microphones, acoustic feedback cancellation, and environmental classification. Paving the way for easier development of mid-range hearing aids or upcoming Over-the-Counter (OTC) devices, the firmware bundle also provides support for advanced wireless features, opening the door for wireless fitting and advanced user control. To help manufacturers tailor the Ezairo-based firmware bundles to their specific needs, ON Semiconductor provides a Windows®-based software package which acts as a complete end-to-end user interface for developing next-generation hearing aids. The sophisticated software package includes features such as transducer modeling and calibration, parameter control, and live diagnostic tools that help fine-tune performance and optimise audio quality. Also included is a cross-platform Software Development Kit (SDK) which not only supports Windows, but mobile platforms as well including both iOS® and Android®, with wired or wireless communications over Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) technology possible.
