The Junior Mode
Latest developments in fitting software for children
It is crucial when fitting children to use appropriate hearing instrument settings and features in order to help develop speech and language and to give the child the best opportunities to achieve their full potential in life. The Junior Mode fitting software available in iPFG and Phonak Target™ was developed with the help of the Phonak Pediatric Advisory Board and a wider pediatric community to provide accurate, efficient and holistic pediatric fittings. The most recent research has been collated in order to provide evidence-based, customizable software defaults specifically tailored to children’s listening environments. Additionally, printable counselling materials (the Junior Reports) aim to empower children, their families and teachers by providing individualized information about the child’s hearing loss, hearing system settings as well as hints and tips on a wide range of relevant topics. more
