Before the fitting session
Audiometric information must be obtained before you fit hearing aids. For young children, this may have
been done by means of auditory brainstem audiometry (ABR), auditory steady state responses (ASSR),
or it may have been possible to measure a few behavioral thresholds for the audiogram.
You can prepare for the fitting session in order to make it as short and easy for the child as possible.
Before your client arrives, you can do the following:
1. Select your client in your database, and open Compass.
2. Connect the hearing aids.
3. Select Detect connected hearing aid(s). Compass finds the hearing aids and displays the Online
communication window.
4. Select OK to open the Preconditions window, where you can change any of the conditions used in
connection with the fitting. For example, you may wish to change the information about the
conditions used for establishing the audiogram in the database, or you may choose to change
the default Widex Pediatric Rationale to the Desired Sensation Level approach (DSLv5).
