A honing method proposes that using an arbor honing tool a remachining be carried out using the same tool either simultaneously or following onto arbor honing, in which the ratio of the stroke speed to the rotational speed of the tool is significantly increased. The in-service programmable logic array includes a first logic and a second logic plan having a number of logic cells arranged in rows and columns that are interconnected to produce a number of logical outputs such that the in service programmable logic array implements a logical function. In the case where the sound start position is equal to the loop start position, encoding is performed using samples of sound data relating to the sound data at the sound start position from the viewpoint of music. Then a patient fitting module sets an operating characteristic of the hearing prosthesis system based on the PAMR response. Methods for using the compositions are also disclosed. The image processing unit includes a first FIFO and a second FIFO for bypassing the interface unit under certain situations.
