The tabs along the bottom of the screen guide the First Fit Process. Quad Core Hearing Instruments can be fitwith 3 simple steps.

Use the Basic tab to make adjustments gain, loudness and comfort issues.

Amplification provides the tools necessary to adjust the overall frequencyresponse, adjust the loud, speech, and soft level curves, and the MPO.

1. Select the Frequency Details tab to adjust gain2. Choose how many handles you want to adjust3. Use the frequency sliders to make more precise adjustments.4. Under the Loudness Tab, you can use similar steps to adjust the gain for loud, soft, and speech-level inputs. Using the MPO tab, the Maximum Power Output can be adjusted in a similar way.

• The Parameters tab, showing compression parameters, appears in FineTuning/ Amplification when the hearing instruments have been First Fit with a fitting formula other than SmartFit.• When you select the Parameters tab, you must turn on Access Parameters to see the compression kneepoints and ratios.• To change parameters, click the white box and choose from the available options.

Master Gain adjusts overall gain for all frequencies and input levels.Note: the number indicates an average of gain across all channels

Soft Sounds adjusts the 50dB input curveLoud Sounds adjusts the 80dB input curveOwn Voice adjusts for occlusionSpeech increases or decreases gain for speech intelligibilityToo Sharp increases lows and mids and decreases high frequencies.Too Muffled decreases lows and mids and increases high frequencies

Speech ESQ is an optional feature which should be activated immediately after First Fit.Speech ESQ makes amplification more linear without changing gain for medium sounds.

To active Speech ESQ1. Select the Linearity tab of the Basic Tuning workspace to access Speech ESQ2. If Speech ESQ is desired, immediately after First Fit, click the Speech ESQ button.3. click the Undo button on the tool bar to deactivate speech ESQ.

Required for First Fit. Accurate choice and designation of Acoustical Parameters is essentialfor a successful First Fit. Coupling Type, Mold Type, and Vent Size must be optimized for accurategain calculation, and selection must reflect instrument set-up.

QuadCore Noise Reduction, Wind Noise Cancellation, Automatic Sound Classifier, and Automatic Microphone features (such as Auto Directional iLock and Auto iFocus 360) are activated as default settings in the Automatic first program.

Bandwidth Compression compresses high frequencies into a lower bandwidth to provide better audibilityof high frequency sounds. This feature is recommended for high frequency hearing loss when cochleardistortion or dead regions are suspected.

A Tinnitus therapy signal can be activated in the Automatic program and/or as a designated program. 1. Click to activate/deactivate the tinnitus function.2. Increase or decrease the overall level of the noise signal by adjusting this slider. 3. It is also possible to shape the frequency response of the tinnitus noise signal by adjusting the individual frequency gain sliders (individually or in groups) here.4. To make the program the noise signal only, and not provide amplification, turn off the mix with microphone.

Bandwidth compression is activated automatically when criteria are met suggesting the feature may be a benefit. The graphs will illustrate the compressed region with a vertical red or blue shaded area. The grey area indicates the area without output.

The lower frequency boundary and higher frequency cut-off can be adjusted by selecting a value from the drop-downs.

Sound Radiance extends the bandwidth of Bluetooth and other streaming audio from 8kHz to as high as 10kHz.

Bandwidth Compression and Sound Radiance can be deactivated if preferred.

You may access the Manual Noise Reduction options and Manual Microphone options, and customize them in order to meet unique needs of the hearing instrument wearer. If a feature or button is orange, that is the active option or feature level.

To deactivate automatic Noise Reduction or microphone function and apply a custom setting, click on the button. A new tab, Manual Noise Reduction or Manual Microphone Mode, will appear next to

This feature allows program 1 to behave like 5 programs. The Automatic program will modify its frequency response to adapt the acoustic needs and preferences of the individual in several acoustic environments. These will be identified by the Auto Classifier.

When your patient needs adjustments in a specific environment:1) Select the environment you wish to adjust2) Select the white box at the frequency you wish to modify, and select the dB value you wish to add or subtract from the response as it is programmed for quiet.

You can also increase the degree of change across all environments by changing thesetting from Mild to Strong. Your changes can be seen in the frequency responsecurves toward the top of the workspace.

Start a new hearing instrument with settings for user comfort, then have automaticacclimatization gradually increase the gain of the instruments to better meet prescriptivetarget. The pace of increase is very gradual and imperceptible to the user.

1) Select the Duration period for the acclimatization process2) Select a strategy. The suggested strategy “Use current gain as end-point” allows you to set the hearing aids for the best response and accommodate the patient’s initial need for a softer, more acceptable response if needed.3) Select the Offest desired (which will immediately change the hearing aid response) or select the Acclimatization Target level. The Strategy selected in step 2 will determine which one will be shown.4) Turn on Smart Acclimatization5) Press the “Play” button on the right side of the screen to begin the acclimatization process.
