Refreshed my memory about how DNR and directionality work and that if there is an open fit, neither of these features can fully activate.

This basic course provides evidence to support leveraging the benefits of custom earmolds to improve satisfaction, especially when speech understanding in noise is high on the priority list.

This is one of the more relevant topics for hearing care professionals as we all dispense RICs and Thin Tube BTEsfor first time users and mild to moderate hearing loss and one of the biggest issues as 'occlusion', but this study encourages us to pursue a more closed ear canal to achieve better hearing in noise.

Very interesting study. Not one of the three configurations significantly performed better than the others, but clearly using a closed earmold system can be warranted in situations where "normally" one might consider an open style fitting.

Good reminder of our ear mold technology, and how it has evolved through the years. Every fit is not always open , although great in many fittings.
by

It is very applicable to my current work where custom products and earmold couplings are preferred for various reasons. This course outlines the pros and cons of this type of fitting compared to others very well.

It's basic knowledge that an audiologist should know from his first year in school. An audiologist that doesn't already understand these concepts shouldn't be working as an audiologist. There are lots of other jobs available in lieu of the government's response to the pandemic, which has resulted in a massive labor shortage.

It was great to see where the closed fittings were comparable to the open fittings and how they differed - it would help in patient counseling. It was also interesting to see how similar the generic click sleeve results were compared to the custom mold, which carries a bigger price tag and often less comfort.

Proper fitting of couplers can be difficult. Therefore, it was nice to discover data on the overall benefit of specific fitting selections in terms of environmental challenges/changes for the experienced hearing aid wearers.

I will definitely think more about open domes vs closed domes when fitting hearing aids. I won't be so hesitant to fit with vented domes or closed domes.
