With one ear stimulated electrically and the other acoustically, bimodal hearing offers considerable benefits. But fitting a hearing aid to support a Cochlear Implant (CI) can be tricky. The clear guidelines and practical tools in Oticon Genie 2 fitting software makes it easy to achieve the right balance.
Optimised bimodal hearing maximises the effectiveness of a CI while unlocking the full potential of a supporting hearing aid.
Oticon’s MoreSound Intelligence 3.0 using 4D Sensor technology and our embedded second-generation Deep Neural Network brings the user the full sound scene in high clarity and balance in any situation. It seamlessly adapts to the user’s specific listening needs based on the situation and the user’s listening intent improving speech comprehension, sound quality and listening comfort.
The flowchart within Genie 2 was developed by Carisa Reyes, AuD, CCC-A, at Boys Town National Research Hospital to support fast and precise bimodal fittings. In a few simple steps, it guides you through the fitting and enables you to shape the ideal balance between gain and frequency response.
The fitting panel in Genie 2 has been updated to include an overall gain trimmer.
Used in conjunction with the flowchart, dedicated handles within the panel let you precisely fine tune the hearing experience to the preferences of your clients.
