An important component of a successful hearing aid fitting is providing patients with a natural sounding own voice. Attempts to meet this goal have included gain reduction and/or increased venting, but at the expense of audibility and signal processing in noise. This webinar presents research findings using Signia’s new Own Voice Processing, demonstrating benefits for maintaining own-voice naturalness with both open and closed fittings, and for different fitting rationales while preserving the benefits of directional-microphone and noise-reduction signal processing.

This course reviews the pros and cons of open-canal versus occluding ear-coupling systems for hearing aids, and presents comparative data of three different options. Data was collected for both laboratory testing and real-world judgments.

Hearing healthcare is evolving at a rapid rate. Origins of this evolution stem, in part, from the recent proliferation of disruptive innovations (e.g., OTCs/PSAPs, pharmaceuticals), along with changes in population dynamics. This course provides participants with evidence and hands-on tools that promote opportunities for increased audiology awareness, and increased adoption of services and technologies in this changing market landscape.

This course will help attendees understand the differing characteristics and behaviors of a new generation of hearing aid consumers and ways to adapt current hearing care business practices to attract, communicate, and work with this new consumer segment. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how these consumers are a force of change in the hearing aid industry by leading more health plans to partner with third-party managed care companies, and how to accurately measure profitability of these third-party referrals.

The Connexx 9 fitting software focuses on optimal usability and intelligent systemic solutions that support the workflow of the HCP. Learn how to use the software to maximize your initial hearing instrument fittings and to address additional needs during follow-up sessions.

This session will provide a practical approach to helping patients that present with tinnitus in a clinical setting. Myths and facts about patients presenting with tinnitus will be addressed and the focus will be how many patients with tinnitus can be treated in the general audiology setting.
