Getting started

 
Indication of how far you are in the fitting process using Fitting wizard

Following the Fitting wizard ensures that the fitting process contains all relevant steps. During the fitting process you do not have to concentrate on what to do next. Instead you can focus on the client and the specific step in the fitting process.

In the following you will be given a brief introduction to the four steps in the Fitting wizard. All descriptions refer to Compass V.5.

Selecting the Fitting wizard as your starting point

When you have detected the hearing aids you want to fit in Compass, you have to choose your starting point in ‘Select PrecisionFit starting point’.


Choosing Fitting wizard as starting point

If you wish to follow the Fitting wizard, you chose it as your starting point. When you click on ‘Finish’ the wizard window opens.

The first step – Preconditions

The first step in the Fitting wizard is to define the fitting preconditions. Most of the parameters in the Preconditions window have been preset based on the age and audiogram data stored in NOAH/InfoTrack, but if desired, they can be changed.

The second step – the Sensogram

The second step in the Fitting wizard is the Sensogram. The Sensogram is an in-situ audiometric measurement in which the client’s hearing thresholds are measured through the hearing aid.


A measured basic Sensogram

With the basic Sensogram the thresholds in the four basic bands (500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz) are measured. You can also measure one or more of the intermediate bands by choosing the Expanded Sensogram option.


The expanded Sensogram

The expanded Sensogram initially shows the measured thresholds from the basic Sensogram.

The third step – the Feedback test

The third step in the Fitting wizard is the Feedback test, which serves to initialise the Ac¬tive feedback cancelling feature in the hearing aid. This system ensures that more gain can be provided for the individual fitting without increasing the risk of feedback.
