OTICON INTIGA FITTING GUIDE 51
Fitting Assistant In-situ Audiometry
The Fitting Assistant is a tool designed to deal with
common problems that require adjustment of the hearing
instrument at the fitting or follow-up visit.
To operate the Fitting Assistant, select the tab which most
closely matches the client’s concern and then a control
(such as Loudness). Click the control to adjust it.
The adjustments made in the Fitting Assistant are immedi-
ately visible in the graphs. When you open the tool in the
future, you can see how far from the starting point (the
middle) the controls have been moved.
The Fitting Assistant can be used individually for each
program in the instrument.
With Oticon Intiga instruments, Genie supports in-situ
audio metry for making precise fittings using the client’s
own Moulds and hearing instruments during threshold
measurements.
In-situ audiometry can be conducted between
250 Hz – 8 kHz, except for Open and Plus Domes where
the frequency range is 750 Hz – 8 kHz.
How to use in-situ audiometry
The layout of the tool resembles a standard audiometer.
In the Audiogram graph, you can see the normal audiogram
represented as a faded grey curve. If the instruments are
connected, you can conduct in-situ audiometry by using
the fields below the graph to set the frequency and level
of the tone.
Click the Play Tone button and the stimulus is played in
the instrument as long as the button is activated.
During measurements, instrument microphones are
muted. Click the Talk-Over button to switch on micro-
phones and talk to the client; click again to switch off.
Ambient noise level is measured by the instrument
microphones. In case of too much noise, the red noise level
indicator will light up.
The buttons in the lower right corner select whether you
want to use the in-situ audiogram to calculate settings in
Genie or if you wish to continue using the normal audiogram.
