Importing the RECD into the Hearing Aid Manufacturers Software

Some hearing aid manufacturers allow for importing the measured RECD curve into the software via Noah
and/or write the measured values into a RECD screen. This way the individual ear can be taken into account
in the fitting and you may avoid using the average values.
For further description of how to incorporate the RECD curve into the fitting please refer to the individual
hearing aid manufacturer.

Counselling the Parents in Visible Speech Mapping

Note that VSPM (Visible Speech Mapping) is available in coupler mode. Upon fitting the hearing aids you
may therefore want to enter Visible Speech Mapping for counselling purposes. This may help their
understanding of both hearing impairment and hearing aids significantly (see description of Visible Speech
Mapping in section 2.122).
