activity levels, and distance walking or run. Audéo Fit and my Phonak app
track and display the average wearing time in different sound environments as
well as offer optional goal setting.

**Regular exercise enhances both mental and physical well-being1. Audéo Fit
enables patients to track physical activities.

In clinic demonstration
- After demonstrating the ease of listening and access to audibility, take a short walk with the patient in or around your clinic. Focus on hearing well in a variety of acoustic situations, as AutoSense OSTM adapts to the environment.
- While walking or after returning to the fitting room, open my Phonak app to view the following health functions:
On-demand heart rate| · A live heart rate will be sampled every second and
changes will be shown every 4 seconds on the app screen
· To view the resting heart rate, Audéo Fit would need to be worn for more
than 4 hours Each person’s heart rate is unique. Typically, a lower resting
heart rate is associated with better health over the long term.4

Steps and distance| · Tracks the number of steps based on the acceleration
signal in real time
· Calculates distance walked or ran
· Distinguishes between four different activity levels (none, low, medium,
high) which are updated every hour Regular exercise enhances both mental and
physical wellbeing.5
Wearing time| · Shows the wearing time in real-time

updated every hour Patients who wear their hearing aids regularly and as
