Utilizing real ear measures (REM) during the hearing aid fitting process is a recommended best-practice. However, use of REM has been relatively low due to reports that it can be time consuming. Learn how with Starkey’s real ear measurement integration within the Inspire fitting software, clinicians can match frequency response to targets in less than 10 minutes! This session will provide an overview of REM integration, including compatible real ear equipment and compatible Starkey products. The full process will be illustrated.
