Signia AutoFit; An Update on AutoREM Approach to Probe Mic Measurement & Hearing Instrument Fitting

---

1.  Which of the following is the appropriate term for the AutoFit function of the Connexx software? Audiometry Auto REM Hearing instrument validation Hearing instrument test (HIT)

2.  What are the advantages of using AutoFit? Reduces time of the fitting It is a valid option for matching NAL-NL2 targets It is a reliable option for matching NAL-NL2 targets All of the above

3.  Which statement is NOT true of AutoFit (Auto REM)? Now uses the new IMC2 protocol, and saves time Can be used to fit Signia XFit to target automatically It is as reliable and valid as manually fitting to NAL-NL2 targets Only available with Signia hearing instruments

4.  autoFit: Automatically fits a prescription formula selected within Connexx to targets based on a 65dB input level. Provides an opportunity to check gain for 80dB input level so additional changes may be made if necessary Is accessed from Connexx software. All the above

5.  An advantage of performing AutoFit (Auto REM) for hearing instrument fittings is: Programming adjustments are guided by subjective evidence of audibility or gain. Patient satisfaction is unchanged, referrals stay steady AutoFit takes very little time but results in better outcomes – reduced return rate and fewer problem-based follow up appointments. Performing REM at the fitting is required by law so it should always be performed

6.  IMC2 is: A Signia term for Internal Measurement within the Connexx software. A Signia program used only with the standalone Connexx fitting software A HIMSA interface available now A HIMSA interface available early 2021

7.  When using AutoFit, first enter the correct Acoustical Parameters and Fitting Strategy, then select: FirstFit AutoFit AutoAdjust Help

8.  The calibration of the probe tube must be completed: At the beginning of each day At the beginning of each AutoFit session Once a month Only when the placement of the speaker is changed

9.  The verification step in AutoFit is completed at: 55 dB and 80 dB 65 dB and 55 dB 80 dB and 65 dB None of the above

10.  In the Article by Baumann, Powers, and Branda, the study findings confirm: AutoFit is valid and reliable AutoFit is an efficient tool AutoFit agrees with other fitting procedures All the above
