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.
