At the HeAL 2024 conference, we were excited to offer a sneak peek of the new Aided Cortical module for the Interacoustics Eclipse, which makes it possible to objectively and reliably validate hearing aid or cochlear implant fitting in infants or patients with complex needs who cannot subjectively respond.
Clinicians can use the outcome of the test to counsel their patient’s family – offering much needed reassurance – and make informed adjustments to the hearing device settings.
The Aided Cortical module also includes the new ManU-IRU stimuli, developed by the Interacoustics Research Unit (IRU) in collaboration with Manchester University.
The Interacoustics Academy have a couple of online opportunities to learn more about aided cortical testing.
On day 2 of this year’s Trends in Pediatrics, Amanda Goodhew, BSc (Hons) MSc Audiology, and Michael East, MSc Clinical Science, discussed the importance of pediatric hearing aid validation and the options available for performing validation for different pediatric age ranges.
Their session is now available as an on-demand course, which you can access here: Validation in pediatric hearing aids
By the end of the course, you'll know:
*Including a sneak peek of the Aided Cortical Module for the Interacoustics Eclipse.
On November 19, 2024, Amanda Goodhew will host an eWorkshop on aided cortical testing. This eWorkshop will provide an introduction to aided cortical testing with a particular focus on the pediatric application of the test.
The tools available to ensure accurate testing conditions and detection of responses will be discussed, as well as how to achieve the optimum patient state and develop the most suitable testing strategy for each individual patient.
Learning objectives:
When? November 19, 10.00-11.30 / 16.00-17.30 CET.
