1. MAAC 2018 Real-ear Hands on Lab
Stages:
Entering “assessment” data.
Measuring/Entering the RECD
Verifying hearing instrument performance in the test box (if time)

2. Sec 1 = software updates, system calibration
Sec 2 = speechmap operation basics, RECD measures, Probe placement
Sec 3 = hearing aid fitting process; considerations re: open, binaural simultaneous verif
Sec 4 = paired / binaural function verification; Remote/FM; telephone tech.
Sec 5 = Dmics, NR, Freq lowering, CROS/BiCROS; office integration considerations

3. Sec 1 = software updates, system calibration
Sec 2 = speechmap operation basics, RECD measures, Probe placement
Sec 3 = hearing aid fitting process; considerations re: open, binaural simultaneous verif
Sec 4 = paired / binaural function verification; Remote/FM; telephone tech.
Sec 5 = Dmics, NR, Freq lowering, CROS/BiCROS; office integration considerations

5. Threshold entry
250 Hz = 40 dB
500 Hz =  45 dB
750 Hz = 50 dB
1000 Hz = 55 dB
1500 Hz = 55 dB
2000 Hz=  55 dB
3000 Hz = 60 dB
4000 Hz = 65 dB
6000 Hz = 70 dB
8000 Hz = 70 dB

6. If you are going to measure the RECD, ensure you have set the RECD to “measure” in the audiometry screen. Follow the on screen instructions.
Refer to next slide for setup.

13. VERIFICATION PROCESS:
OUTPUT LIMITING MPO
OUTPUT FOR AVERAGE SPEECH
OUTPUT FOR SOFT SPEECH
OUTPUT FOR LOUD SPEECH (OPTIONAL?)
BASED ON TARGETS FROM PRESCRIPTIVE METHODOLOGY
