The new AURICAL, the world's only complete, modular fitting solution, has created much attention since it was first launched at this year's AudiologyNOW! "The new AURICAL has had a tremendous impact in Europe since the release in May and the feedback has been amazing, states Peter Kossek, Business Manager at Otometrics. "We are delighted to finally have it ready for the US market".
More flexible and convincing than ever
"People are eager to get their hands on our new device and we experience many visits at our booths when we attend tradeshows", states Søren Holst President of Otometrics. "Dispensers and audiologists have learned about our new device from our global campaign or from their network and want to know more. The fact that it's a complete, modular fitting solution has caught the interest of many".
The difference between knowing and guessing
When Otometrics initiated the project some years ago the core vision was to develop a Fitting Friend. One of the reasons that the new AURICAL has had a successful launch is its almost unlimited flexibility and its array of built-in easy to use tools that didn't exist a decade ago.
The AURICAL FreeFit Probe Microphone Measurements unit is particularly comfortable for clients and its binaural capabilities and pre-defined measurement sequences makes it fast and easy to use. Those are just a few examples of convincing tools that help professionals demonstrate benefits to clients.
"There's no question in my mind that proper verification is one of the keys to prescribing hearing aids that people actually use, so Probe Microphone Measurements are crucial" says Mona Dworsack, Sr. Product Manager, Otometrics.
"The smartness of hearing aids is fantastic-but when programmed chances are the professional is fitting to an average ear and not the client's own ear. So fitting those advanced hearing aids using Probe Microphone Measurements can make them even more fantastic. Accurate fittings ultimately result in fewer returns. The FreeFit PMM unit is both accurate and easy to obtain-which is one more way the new AURICAL helps address the problem of untreated hearing loss", states Mona.
