WIDEX VERIFICATION Simulated Real Ear Measurements Using Verifit 2 To obtain optimum results while utilizing the test box for speech mapping, Widex recommends the following protocol: Ensure the transducers selected in Verifit 2 align with what you used during your patient’s audiogram. Ensure the birth date is entered correctly in Verifit 2. Note that if your system communicates with NOAH, you can simply enter the birth date under the patient’s file within NOAH. Ensure that DSL-5 Pediatric is selected in Verifit 2 when fitting pediatrics and DSL-5 Adult when fitting adults. In CompassTM GPS, select “Widex Rationale.” Note that you can also “Select DSL-5 pediatric” or “Select DSL-5 adult,” if you prefer. You will want to keep the hearing aids connected to the software while performing test box measurements with Verifit 2. In Compass GPS, navigate to “Fine Tuning” and “Verification”. Under “Normal Adaptive Test Mode,” click “Activate Test Mode.” While you are in the Normal Adaptive Test Mode, the hearing aid is set to the Universal Program; gain and feature settings are maintained to eliminate variability. Use either ISTS or the Carrot Passage as your stimulus, and present at 55, 65, and 80 dB levels. Perform your MPO tone sweep. Exit test mode and adjust hearing aids as needed.
