Why Should You Consider Using Automatic Real-Ear Measurements (AutoREM)?
IntroductionAs a clinician fitting hearing aids on a daily basis, I’m constantly seeking ways to enhance both the accuracy and efficiency of the fitting process.Experienced clinicians know that manually adjusting a hearing aid’s gain settings to optimize audibility can be time-consuming. The speed and complexity of this task often depend on factors such as the degree, type, and configuration of hearing loss, as well as the style and manufacturer of the hearing aid being used.Automatic real-ear measurement (AutoREM) is a valuable clinical tool that can streamline this process, helping clinicians achieve more accurate and consistent fittings, in less time.
