Starkey Inspire In Situ
Audiometer AudiometerAudiometer obtains threshold and uncomfortable levels in dB HLby generating pure tone signals through the patient's hearing aid(s),also known asAudiometry. Audiometer is used during the initial fit to assist youin more accurately programming the device(s). Any In-situ adjustmentscan be applied to a Best Fit or Target Match.
If applied, the word 'In-situ'appears above the response graph to indicate In-situ data is being usedto calculate the targets when viewing the frequency response curve. Audiometeris available on all products that support In-situ Audiometry.Audiometer is available during a live fitting or simulation. If an audiogramis stored in the hearing aid(s) or an audiogram exists for the patientin NOAH or ProHear, it automatically defaults.
If there's a conflict betweenthe audiogram in the hearing aid and NOAH or ProHear, the audiogram selectedto use during the current session automatically defaults. Common soundsand/or speech spectrum overlays can be displayed over the audiogram toillustrate the sounds heard.In-situ frequency points can be added, changed, or deleted, and theresponse curve can be reset back to the original audiogram at any time.Connect and select the desired hearing aid(s)to obtain threshold and uncomfortable levels via. Note: Ina live fitting, the hearing aid(s) must be in the patient'sear(s).Click Quick Connect. Note: IfAudiometer isselected for the default fitting view via, the Audiometer screen automatically displays.Continue at step 5.Click from the.Click Audiometer. Note: Thehearing aid(s) is automatically muted.
Audiometer is a monauralfunction and by default, starts on the right ear in a binauralfitting. Click to adjust the left ear firstif desired. The purpleshaded region represents the testing range for the hearingaid. The size of the purpleshaded region will vary based on the hearing aid's matrix.A green Oor Xindicates the current point selected on the graph. The audiometersymbols, which are stored in the database or hearing aid,are displayed on the disabled graph and greyed out.Check Display Common Soundsto display common sound images on the audiogram and/or check Display Speech Spectrum to display a gray shadedregion representing conversational speech if desired.Click to talk to the patient if desired. Note: Thisbutton is only enabled during a live fitting. The hearingaid's microphone(s) is unmuted and all Audiometer functionsare disabled except overlays.Talk to the patient.Click when done talking to the patient.
Note: Thisbutton is only enabled if talk to the patient was selectedin step 6 during a live fitting. The hearing aid's microphone(s)is muted and all Audiometer functions are enabled.Click on the audiometric symbol to test or click, or to navigateto the point to test by increasing or decreasing the intensityand/or frequency. Note: Audiometerautomatically defaults to threshold testing. To bypass andtest UCLs, continue at step 13.Note: Testingis only allowed within the purpleshaded region. If the intensity or frequency is outsidethe purpleshaded region, the affected navigational button(s) is disabled.Check or uncheck Pulsedto present a pulsed or steady tone. Note: Thischeckbox is only available during a live fitting. If checked,a minimum of 3 pure tone signals will be presented for256 milliseconds each with 192 milliseconds of silence betweentones.
If unchecked, 1 pure tone signal will be presentedfor a minimum of 256 milliseconds. The default is Pulsed.Click and holdor press and hold the Spacebar for the desired length of presentationtime and the frame around the response graph will flash red or blueuntil the button or Spacebar is released.
Note: Thisbutton is only enabled during a live fitting.Tip: Rightclick on the point and click PresentTone. The minimum tone duration will be presented.Repeat steps 9-11. Note: OnceIn-situ thresholds are obtained, additional red O's or blueX's appear on the graph.Tip: To deletea point, right click on the point and click DeletePoint. To delete the In-situ audiogram, clickReset orright click on the graph and click ResetCurve.Click the UCL radiobutton to obtain uncomfortable levels if desired.
Note: A green uindicates the current point selected on the graph.Repeat steps 6-12. Note: OnceIn-situ UCLs are obtained, additional redu's or blueu's appear on the graph.Click to adjust the left earif applicable and repeat steps 6-14. Note: Clickto adjust the right ear if the left ear was adjusted first.Click Best Fit In-situto update targets and apply a new best fit or click UpdateTargets In-situ to update targets only and a dialog box appearsasking which hearing aids to update if adjustments were made to bothdevices.
Starkey Inspire In Situ Center
Note: Thesebuttons are only enabled if an In-situ adjustment was made duringa live fitting. If only one hearing aid was adjusted, thedialog box does not appear and the update is automaticallyapplied.Note: Ifthe hearing aid(s) has not been updated and a different Inspirescreen is selected, a message to apply a best fit to the hearingaid(s) displays. If only one hearing aid was adjusted,click Yes to update or clickNo to cancel the update. If bothhearing aids were adjusted, continue at step 17.To update only the right or left hearing aid,uncheck Right or Left. Note: Ifthe hearing aids were not updated and a different Inspirescreen was selected, to update only the right or left hearingaid, uncheck Best Fit Right orBest Fit Left.Click OK to updatethe selected hearing aid(s). Tip: ClickCancel to cancel the update.Note: Ifthe hearing aids were not updated and a different Inspirescreen was selected, click Yesto update the selected hearing aid(s) or click Noto cancel the update.Note: Ifthe hearing aid(s) was not updated and a different Inspirescreen was selected, all In-situ adjustments are retained,therefore, if this screen is accessed later during the samefitting session, the hearing aid(s) can still be updated ifdesired.
