Precision Fitting
Super Power fittings are challenging because there is often a fine line between audibility and over-amplification. That’s why precision is so important in all aspects of the fitting.
Software – the Performance behind the Fitting
The greatest performances require the right support behind the scenes. Oasis Plus is Bernafon’s outstanding fitting software, designed to incorporate every tool you need to fit any Bernafon product.
What you see is what you get
For those with severe and profound hearing loss, every decibel counts to maximize audibility. The margin for error is much smaller for hearing instrument users in this group because of the extremely limited range of residual hearing. This means that the accuracy of the software simulations and targets is critical for both children and adults.
XTREME has the most sophisticated and accurate acoustic model available on the market. Estimations of sound levels at the eardrum are more precise and based on the most recent age-related norms. This accuracy is further enhanced when the hearing care professional enters individually measured RECD (Real Ear to Coupler Difference) values into Oasis Plus to replace the age-specific average values.
Timing is everything
Auditory resolution and residual auditory capabilities vary widely among Super Power users. Unfortunately, there is currently no clinical test to evaluate these capabilities but it is clear that slower signal processing may be better for some, while faster signal processing may be beneficial to others. For this reason, XTREME offers a choice of 3 different time constant sets that the Hearing Care Professional can configure in the software.
Independent Tuning of Telecoil and DAI
In most hearing systems, the Microphone response determines the configuration of the Telecoil and DAI responses. XTREME allows more precision in fitting Telecoil and DAI (Direct Audio Input) responses by allowing these to be tuned individually, independent of the Microphone program. This ensures that XTREME can deliver the optimum hearing response for every input source.
Fine resolution tuning
For access to all the parameters of the hearing instrument, the Zoom View provides the tools for the finest resolution tuning. Here you can use the TriQualizer to make, and simultaneously view, very precise changes to the gain for soft, medium and loud input levels in all five channels, in 1 dB steps! A separate tab opens the controls to adjust MPO in each channel. Controls for Noise Reduction, Soft Noise Management and Time Constants are also available (XTREME 120 only).
