The First Fit Configurator
First Fit Approach
Select the side: left, right or both for bilateral fitting
(figure 22).
For bilateral first fittings, there is the option to use the
same fitting strategy for both audio processors or a
different fitting strategy for each audio processor.
Usually, the same strategy for both audio processors
is used, as seen in figure 22. Each audio processor
should be programmed, one at a time on the patient’s
head. After both processors are programmed, place
them on the patient and turn them on. Adjust the
volume with the gain setting until both sides have an
equal level of sound. Finally, make sure sounds are not
too loud for the patient. If they are too loud, turn the
volume to an acceptable level for the patient.
This fitting guide will now continue with a case of
unilateral fitting.
For a unilateral fitting, the following example (figure 23)
is for an Amadé BB connected on the right side. After
selecting the correct side, click “Next” to continue. For
the the Amadé BB, it is strongly recommended to use
calculate target gains according to the audiogram that
has been entered.
Follow-up fitting (go to Fine Tuning) for follow-up fitting
sessions. It will read out the connected Amadé and it
can be proceeded based on these settings.
Press
OK to confirm the selection.
Bilateral Fitting
The software also allows simultaneous fitting for
bilateral BONEBRIDGE users. When two Amadé are
connected, detect connected instruments shows the
window in figure 21.
Select New fitting (go to First Fit Configurator) in case
of a first fit based on the entered audiograms.
Select Follow-up fitting (go to Fine Tuning) in case of
a fitting based on the values stored in the connected
processors.
