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 (iPFG 2.0 and upwards) 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
CableFree fitting
iCube applies the wireless capabilities of the CORE platform to facilitate the transfer of Fitting data from the PC directly into the hearing instruments. The result: a fast, smooth and reliable CableFree fitting that creates a more relaxed fitting environment for young or otherwise fidgety children and their parents. It allows professionals to continue programming even if the child is moving around – at a distance of up to 10 meters (30 feet).Of course Phonak hearing insruments can also be fitted with NoahLink and HiPRO. more
