vibrations travel across the skull, via bone conduction,
stimulating the normal hearing inner ear on the
contralateral side.
To include the attenuation of bone conduction from
the deaf side to the normal hearing side, measure
the unmasked bone conduction measured on the
(implanted) deaf side. Use these values as a basis for
the first fit; enter in the audiogram tab on the
implanted side with AC symbols.
REMARK:
Typically, bone conduction thresholds are only
measured from 500 Hz to 4 kHz. Values at 250 Hz, 6
kHz and 8 kHz should be entered by extrapolating from
the given bone conduction thresholds. Where no
values are entered, no gain will be calculated.
Detection of the Amadé and First Fit
Next, to detect the Amadé BB audio processor, click the
detect connected instruments button on the toolbar
(figure 19).
It is not necessary to select the processor first;
detection will automatically recognize the connected
audio processor.
REMARK: TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE AMADÉ BB IS NOT RECOGNIZED CORRECTLY,
THE FOLLOWING MAY HAVE OCCURRED:
1. The wrong SYMFIT version is installed
To check which version of the VIBRANT MED-EL
SYMFIT database you have installed, go to:
“Help” , followed by “Info about Database” . Here
it can be confirmed that SYMFIT 6.1 is installed
to program an Amadé BB.
Please refer to section II on page 6 to check
which version of the SYMFIT database is required
for the Amadé to be programmed correctly.
2. The programming cable is not properly connected
to the processor.
Please refer to chapter III on page 11 of this
guide to learn how to connect the programming
cable correctly.
3. The hardware is not connected correctly.
Please refer to the user manual of the HI-PRO
box (or NOAHLink) for assistance.
Make sure that the HI-PRO box is set up on a
serial port COM1 to COM4.
Unilateral fitting
Figure 20 shows that Connexx has detected an Amadé
BB on the side where the audio processor is connected
to the HI-PRO box.
Now it can be differentiated between a first fit session
and a follow-up fitting.
New Fitting (go to First Fit Configurator) should be
chosen in this context. The software will start to
