In the PSB Headphones app…

CALIBRATION
The hearing calibration is meant to assess your hearing characteristics. To produce the most accurate results, we advise you to complete the calibration in a quiet place – the quieter, the better. If you’re unsure whether you hear a tone or not, it is best to select NO.

Tap START CALIBRATION button to begin the hearing calibration.

The hearing calibration has now commenced. Select YES if you hear a tone or NO if you do not hear a tone. If you feel you cannot hear any tones during the calibration, make sure that you are connected to the earphones.

To quit the hearing calibration, tap the X Calibration in the top-left corner. If you choose to quit you will be redirected to the start page. You can redo the calibration at a later time, but no data will be saved.

NOTES

• If you happen to connect the application to earphones that already have a profile stored on them, you will see the following Profile message – Save the Personal Sound “xxxxx”? The Personal Sound “xxxxx” was found in the connected earphones. Do you want to save it?. This means that a profile exists on the earphones you are now using but not on the app.
• To download/save the profile that is on earphones to your mobile application, select YES. If you select NO, the profile will not be downloaded to the app and cannot be accessed again unless the previous app and earphones are paired again.
• If for some reason your device gets disconnected, select TRY AGAIN to reconnect to it. To connect to a different device, select ADD Headphones.

PROFILE NAME
After completing the hearing calibration, you can name your profile. The name must be at least one character long. You must create a name to proceed.
To rename or delete your profile, select Personal Sound  from Settings menu. Then, from Manage Profiles, select the Profile to rename or delete.

AGE
Select your age by dragging the cursor. Age affects how we hear, so its beneficial for us to collect this information in order to optimize the test process and the algorithms behind Audiodo Personal Sound.

You must select an age to proceed. This information is not used for marketing purposes.

GENDER
Select the icon that best describes your gender. Since gender affects how we hear, it is beneficial for us to collect this information in order to optimize the test process and the algorithms behind Audiodo Personal Sound.

You must select a Gender icon to proceed. If you wish to decline answering, choose the icon in the middle. This information is not used for marketing purposes.

MAIN MENU
Tapping the menu icon in the top-left corner will take you to the Main Menu. Selecting your calibrated PSB M4U TWM from the Main menu will take you to the Settings menu.

PERSONAL SOUND
Under Settings menu, select Personal Sound to open your Profile List. At Profile section, there is an option to Enable   Personal Sound – drag or swipe the slider icon to the right or to the left to enable or disable Personal Sound respectively.

On your visual hearing profile, the y-axis represents Sound Pressure Level while the x-axis represents Frequencies or Tone levels. Where the curves dip lowest is where the algorithm will compensate most.

To redo the hearing calibration or to add a new profile, tap the + in the top- left corner. This will take you to the screen where you can complete a new hearing calibration.
