What is remote fitting
Remote fitting is a convenient online hearing aid fitting service for hearing-impaired patients, which breaks through geographical limitations through the collaboration of "professional equipment + AI algorithms + fitters".
The development of remote fitting
Early
Remote fitting mainly relies on computer software for basic debugging and is more often used as a supplement to offline fitting, with a relatively narrow application scope.
After 2020
The epidemic has led to a surge in the demand for telemedicine. Remote fitting has entered a period of rapid development, and remote auditory health management technology has been continuously advancing. When hearing aid users cannot reach physical stores, it provides them with simple, convenient and flexible fitting services.
"At present
Remote fitting technology is becoming increasingly mature. AI algorithms make the adaptation more accurate, and for users, the operation is simple and has no threshold.
Why are more and more people choosing remote fitting?
Say goodbye to accompanying runners and no more running around
Children don't have to run with them to work, and the elderly don't have to spend time traveling or queuing. It is especially suitable for hearing-impaired people who are far from home or have difficulty moving around.
Professional services are not discounted
Relying on mobile communication devices and remote debugging systems, audiologists can accurately obtain hearing data, and the debugging effect is basically the same as that offline.
Flexible fitting requires no effort
There's no need to specially find time to visit the store. After making an appointment with the fitter, you can get the fitting done online, truly achieving both convenience and flexibility.
How is remote fitting achieved
User end
Find a quiet environment, get your hearing aid and smart phone ready → Download the APP, activate the hearing aid, and turn on the Bluetooth connection → Select pure tone hearing fitting or import an existing audiogram → Contact the customer service email to make an appointment for remote fitting → put on the hearing aid and describe the problem → The fitter will conduct remote adjustment and test the hearing aid effect
Fitter's end
Connect with the user at the agreed time → Debug on the pc based on the problems described by the user → Verify the effect after debugging → complete the remote fitting
What kind of hearing-impaired people are suitable for remote fitting?
People with mild, moderate to severe hearing loss
Hearing loss is between 26 and 80 decibels, such as affecting daily communication and having to turn up the volume when watching TV.
No serious ear diseases
Problems such as otitis media, perforated eardrum, and ear canal deformities require medical treatment at a hospital.
Be able to use a smart phone
I or my family members can use a smart phone to read the instruction manual or watch explanatory videos, download the app to connect to Bluetooth, and cooperate to complete remote listening communication and debugging.
Those who are in a different location or have difficulty moving around
For people living in remote areas, far from stores, or those who are elderly or in poor health and find it inconvenient to go out, remote fitting can reduce a lot of trouble.
