Pulse Introduces DCU Scroller with Discreet Linear Activation Mode
Unit Is Small Enough for both BTE and ITE Instruments
January 9, 2009 - Pulse, a Technitrol Company (NYSE: TNL), a worldwide leader
in electronic component and subassembly design and manufacturing, announced the introduction of its new high-quality hearing aid component, the DCU Scroller. Designed for both behind-the-ear (BTE) and in-the-ear (ITE) hearing devices, the new volume control has a housing diameter of just 3.8mm (0.15 in.), enabling simple, discreet volume adjustments to the hearing device.
The new digital control unit comes with a lowered flange for BTE mounting and a flush flange for ITE mounting. The DCU Scroller is a relative position indicator, meaning it emits pulses only when rotated. With 10 pulses per scroller rotation, sound attenuation is optimized for both fast and accurate volume adjustments by the user. Details about the DCU Scroller are available on data sheet MT1044A1208 at on the Pulse website.

"With its dramatically reduced size, the scroller fits well with the new slim and small BTEs and is barely detectable with ITE hearing devices," said Morten Wagner, Pulse product line manager, Electromechanical Components. "Small size plus linear activation mode make the DCU Scroller the ultimate in discreet audio control."
