Before using REM AutoFit
Hearing aid settings during measurement
Step 3: Aided
REM AutoFit handles open fit calibration automatically. There are two ways
of performing real ear aided measurement sequences: Automatic and
Manual. This can be selected using the tabs below the right ear graph.
a.
Insert the hearing aid carefully in the client's ear without moving the
probe tube (mute the hearing aids during insertion if necessary).
b.
Perform one of the following workflows:
•
Automatic only
•
Automatic followed by Manual
Manual only
•
(Note: If Manual is followed by Automatic, the manual fine-tuning will
be overwritten)

Without measured real ear data, the fitting software has to prescribe gain
using average real ear data. The automatic process in REM AutoFit measures
and updates the client's real ear data to use the measured data. This data is
applied throughout Genie/Genie 2 to all programs.
When you run a measurement in the Automatic tab, the fitting software
measures the current hearing aid gain, automatically adjusts it towards the
prescribed target (whilst taking into account the limitations of the instrument
and the acoustics) and then performs another measurement to confirm the
target match.
a.
Select the desired measurement input levels: 50, 65 or 80 dB. Gain
adjustments at all levels are based on the 65 dB measurement.
b.
Instruct the client to face the loudspeaker and to remain still during
each sequence of measurements.
c.
Click Start on the relevant side to measure one side. To calibrate both
sides, click Both. Depending on the REM system, binaural measurement
may take place simultaneously or sequentially.
d.
The system automatically turns off the signal when the measurements
are complete. If you need to stop the measurement prior to completion,
click Stop.
If you are satisfied with the measurements, proceed to Step 4: Finish.
e.
f.
If you want to make further fine-tuning, you can proceed to Manual.
