What is REM AutoFit?
REM AutoFit is an intuitive tool in Genie and
Genie 2 that allows the HCP to match real ear
targets automatically. This makes the real ear
measurement (REM) process more efficient
whilst ensuring the HCP maintains quality and
control over the fitting. This gives the client a
more comfortable fitting experience and it
saves time for the HCP. REM AutoFit is suitable
for both open and closed fittings.
This guide provides step-by-step support
through the REM AutoFit process to allow the
HCP to perform quick, efficient and accurate
REMs.
Why do audiologists perform real ear
measurements?
The main reason is to verify that speech sounds
are audible for the client. Ensuring that targets
for a chosen rationale are being met is a good
starting point for a new fitting. Real ear mea-
surements (REMs) must therefore be consis-
tent, reliable, repeatable, and correct.

Before using REM AutoFit
Before using REM AutoFit, ensure you:
•
Have installed an IMC 2 compatible
REM module (Interacoustics, MedRx
or Otometrics). See www.himsa.com
for IMC-compliant module versions.
•
Have NOAH 4.5.1 or later
•
Have selected the appropriate IMC 2 com-
patible REM module in Preferences > Edit
Preferences > Customise Software >
Measurement Modules > REM AutoFit
Selected Module (this preference is saved
for future fitting sessions)
•
Connect the hearing aids
•
Ensure up-to-date hearing aid firmware if
necessary using Firmware Updater (Genie 2 only)
•
Connect and switch on your REM equipment.
Close the REM software if it has already
been opened.

Step 3: Aided
Manual
•
Select the acoustics (venting, tubing,
earpiece/dome) and power levels in
Genie/Genie 2 which match those of the
hearing aid. Note: It is recommended to use
the dome or earmould prescribed by Genie.
If the selected acoustics are too open, gain
may be limited due to the risk of feedback.
If this occurs, change to a less open option
before launching REM AutoFit.
•
Perform a feedback analysis (see Feedback
Manager/Feedback Analyser)
•
Select fitting rationale
•
Set up program linking as desired. REM
AutoFit sets the program to P1.
