Starkey Sound Bites: Finding the Right Fit with Fitting Formulas with Dr. Andrea Hannan Dawkes
Course: #39782Level: Introductory 0.5 Hours 61 Reviews
Prescriptive hearing aid fitting rationales play an important role in successful hearing aid fittings. The ability to optimize the hearing aid response from the first fit forward is necessary to ensure the technology being fit provides amplification that is appropriate for the hearing loss, promotes effective communication, and addresses the individual needs of the patient. Hearing aid fitting formulas can also play a role in the acceptance or rejection of amplification. In this session, Dr. Dave Fabry discusses fitting formulas with Dr. Andrea Hannan Dawkes, Senior Education & Training Audiologist.
