Pro Fit Fitting Protocol

Pro Fit Software

Pro Fit will guide the hearing care professional through three fitting session types: Preparation, Fitting, and Follow-Up.
Wireless Initial Set-up
NOTE: To power on rechargeable 2.4 GHz hearing aids for the first time, briefly insert and remove them from the charger.

1. Rechargeable 2.4 GHz hearing aids can only be programmed wirelessly via the 2.4 GHz or NOAH Link Wireless programmer. Hearing aids will ship with enough battery life to complete initial hearing aid programming, but not enough for a full day of use. Place hearing aids in the charger prior to the initial fitting to ensure there is enough battery life for use.
   NOTE: If the hearing aid battery charge is too low, a low battery warning will appear when reading devices. If this occurs, the fitting session can proceed, but a firmware  update (if available) cannot. A 7-minute turbo charge using the Star Link Chargers is enough to proceed with a firmware update.
2. If programming RIC hearing aids, attach Snap Fit 2.0 receivers.
3. If fitting CROS/Biros hearing aids, the 2.4 GHz wireless CROS Receiver and Transmitter must be paired and programmed together at the initial fitting. Receivers can be  programmed with or without the Transmitter present after the initial fitting. If a Transmitter is ordered separately, the hearing care professional must pair the Transmitter and Receiver as a set within Pro Fit. Streaming from the Transmitter is available during the fitting session.

Non-Wireless Initial Set-up

1. Non-wireless hearing aids can only be programmed via programming cables and the Speed Port, Hypro, or NOAH Link programmers
2. Insert orange programming flex strips into the hearing aids and connect to programming cables.
3. Insert batteries into the hearing aids.

Preparation

Pro Fit advances to the Preparation session automatically when programming new hearing aids. [Fig. 3]

1. Set up new hearing aids.
   A. Assign the Experience Level.
   B. Select Programs and enable hearing aid programs, if desired.
   C. Select User Controls. Drag any user control you wish to enable from the left and drop it on a gesture on the right. [Fig. 4]NOTE: Rechargeable hearing aids do not have battery doors.
   To provide patients with the ability to power off their hearing aids while not in use, the Push & Hold user control will be configured as “Power Off” when shipped.
   NOTE: Double Tap is only available for wireless products. Double Tap Sensitivity may be adjusted by selecting the dropdown arrow under the user control options.
   D. Select Accessories to pair and configure accessories, if desired. See pairing information for information on the pairing process. Once paired, adjust the Hearing aid  mic while streaming, Streaming sound for the streaming accessories and the Favorite Button configuration for the Remote. Adjust the Hearing aid mic while streaming  phone and Streaming sound for phone use. [Fig. 5]

Fitting

Following the Preparation session, Pro Fit will advance to the Fitting session automatically. [Fig. 7]

1. Insert the hearing aids into the patient’s ears, reduce all sources of noise, then select Begin Test to run the Feedback Canceller initialization.
2. If prompted to update the vent model, select Yes to match the new modeled response to target or select No if you have already adjusted away from the displayed targets  (e.g., for patient preference). [Fig. 8]NOTE: The vent model is updated based on measurements obtained during the feedback canceller test.
   This update does not change gain or output settings. The updated vent model reflects the measured acoustics of the ear canal with the hearing aid in the ear and will most often affect the low-to-mid frequencies.
3. Select Quick Fit to make global fitting adjustments. Select Fine Tuning on the bottom of the Quick Fit screen or from the left navigation menu to make detailed fitting adjustments of individual channels and input levels.
4. If needed, select User Controls. Drag any user control you wish to enable from the left and drop it on a gesture on the right. [Fig. 4]
5. Select Indicators. Click the check boxes to enable or disable indicators. [Fig. 9]
