Podcast Season 1: Customizing the Fitting

Register Now
Cost: Free to View


Published:  9/28/2009

The Oticon Podcast program is a bi-weekly program of short videos covering advanced fitting information and strategies. In this course, four editions of the video podcast program have been selected to present together as they all relate to the general challenge of finding the best individualized solution for patient.

Modern hearing aid technology offers so much flexibility that we do not have to settle for one-size-fits-all solutions. This presentation will focus on the fitting tools that are designed to make sure that the settings of the devices are best in keeping with the hearing and processing abilities that each individual patient brings to the task. Case examples will be presented in the final section to demonstrate how all of the principles can be applied in practice.
