Real Ear/Hearing Aid Test: Affinity REM440 Software

Efficient Real Ear Measurements

Real ear measurement
The Affinity’s Real Ear Measurement software, REM440, offers valuable options for fitting and finetuning a new pair of hearing aids or trouble-shooting a specific listening situation.

With REM440 software, you can professionally test the fitting accuracy of the hearing aid in the test box as well as the real-life accuracy while the hearing aid is in use on the client. Standard protocols such as tone, noise and speech stimuli are pre-loaded, but you can also customize your test protocols – choose which tests to run, in what order and incorporate signals or speech files.

The REM440 also interacts with hearing instrument manufacturers’ fitting software, and you can view
the REM440 curves simultaneously with the fitting software. When working with digital hearing aids,
the REM440 can use live speech and environmental sounds such as ICRA for the best fitting.

Target curve calculations based on the client’s audiogram ensures a perfect fit using fitting prescriptions such as NAL-NL, NAL-R, POGO as well as the latest DSL [i/o] as soon as available. The possibility of simply loading new updates to your PC allows for future upgradability. Measurements can be performed binaurally with the dedicated Interacoustics in-situ headset which includes an easy to use probe microphone and a reference microphone with automatic calibration capability.

Other benefits of the REM440 software:

• Individualized printouts
• Optional Visible Speech Software VSP440

Visible speech

The optional Visible Speech software, VSP440, is a complementary demonstration tool that does not require additional hardware. The Visible Speech software shows your clients what the hearing aid offers in terms of audibility compared to the non-amplified ear. Use it to show a binaural view on your screen or to illustrate the effect of two different hearing aids. Give your customers the ability to see the difference between a normal ear and their own ears and help them make an informed choice.
