Measuring and Assessing Aided Audibility Using the SII
INVENTIS • Audiology & Balance Equipment CEU courses
Presented by Clayton Fisher, M.Cl.Sc
Recorded Webinar
Course: #37807Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This session walks clinicians through a typical hearing aid fitting using Real-Ear Measurement (REM) and interprets the obtained aided/unaided Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) values. The Expected Benefit with Amplification (EBA) tool is introduced to help clinicians assess the adequacy of their fittings and to counsel patients based on the measured improvement in audibility.

The Use and Abuse of Prescriptive Target and the SII in Adult Hearing Aid Fittings
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Lindsey E. Jorgensen, AuD, PhD, Jessica Messersmith, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #29445Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Prescriptive targets are the primary means of ensuring that a hearing aid fitting is appropriate. However, it is only a starting point for audibility. The SII (speech intelligibility index) is another way to determine if the signal is audible to the patient. While these are both useful and necessary measurements, they can also be misused in the hearing aid fitting for adults. This course will discuss the importance of SII and targets and situations where the audiologists’ knowledge and interactions with the patients should over-ride these measurements.
