Your guide to the Genie Paediatric Fitting Mode
Child friendly hearing care goes beyond the development of paediatric products and into the realm of fitting software. This is because the fitting protocol for children typically differs from that used with adults.
In a paediatric fitting, audiologists may be working with audiometric data of varying formats, special fitting rationales, different assumptions on how automatic features should be set, and a different approach to verification.
The launch of the Safari family of paediatric hearing instruments was therefore accompanied by the introduction of a Paediatric Fitting Mode in Oticon’s Genie fitting software. This mode addresses the needs of children with hearing loss – and the professionals taking care of them.
