Signia Connexx 9.1 software supports the Xperience platform. This short webinar will focus on the new enhancements of the fitting software.

Research has shown the benefits of bimodal stimulation in structured clinical trials, but clinical patients may require programming outside of the standard fitting flow. This presentation will discuss bimodal fitting considerations for hearing aid fitting clinicians to help patients get the most of their bimodal stimulation.

Diagnostic audiology and aural rehabilitative appointments have decreased in length due to limited clinical resources. This class examines the role of the Oto-tech and the process to identify, train and integrate the position into the practice.

The course will provide clinicians with a framework for evaluating and treating tinnitus patients, including counseling for Thoughts and Emotions, Hearing, Sleep and Concentration difficulties. It will include the application of hearing aids, and wearable and non-wearable sound therapy devices.

Remote adjustments of hearing aids are becoming more frequent. To gauge patient engagement, several studies were conducted to evaluate improvement on multiple outcome scales. In one study the caregivers for hearing impaired individual subjects with cognitive decline reported on the impact of remote programming on a reduction of burden scale. Implications for use of remote programing with several patient population will be discussed.

The characteristics of the sound environment have a fundamental impact on the performance of the hearing aid user. In this course, we will describe the obvious and sometimes more subtle aspects of sound environments that will affect hearing aid performance.

With the healthcare delivery model in constant evolution, hearing healthcare providers have the opportunity to develop an innovative fitting approach to proactively engage their patient in the fitting process. This presentation discusses clinic setup, equipment considerations and economics of expanding business services integrating verification and 3D digital ear scanning in the fitting process to improve patient experience and satisfaction.

Today's busy clinic requires fast and accurate testing, and the GSI AudioStar Pro provides the tools to meet the demands of every hearing healthcare provider. The purpose of this course is to provide an in depth overview of the enhancements of the AudioStar Pro FW version 2.0 clinical audiometer and the configuration application. Additionally, the course will provide tips and tricks for customizing settings and protocols for maximum productivity will be reviewed. 

Feedback in a hearing aid fitting can be problematic for a number of reasons. Potential consequences include not only annoyance and discomfort for the listener, but also a reduction in sound quality and speech understanding that can impact the overall benefit of amplification. This course will discuss what feedback is, when and why it occurs, and will provide the professional with an understanding of the signal processing strategies used to manage feedback in hearing aid technology today along with some practical clinical considerations.

Oticon’s pediatric ambition is clear; we want to create a better future for every child with hearing loss – not least of those being children with a severe-to-profound hearing loss. In most cases, these children need immediate support in order to open up to the world, connect with loved ones, grow, thrive, and learn. This session will introduce the latest solutions setting a new standard among pediatric power hearing aids.
