Abstract: This Learning Lab combines a one-hour lecture with hands-on training to strengthen verification skills for advanced hearing aid features. Dr. Lindsey Jorgensen will review concepts including patient complaints, probe microphone measures, ANSI standards, RECD interpretation, and advanced feature verification. After the lecture, participants will rotate through hands-on stations equipped with REM systems and test boxes from various manufacturers to practice verification techniques. Activities include directional microphone testing, remote microphone verification, ANSI compliance checks, and RECD comparisons to optimise hearing aid performance.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion of this session, the participant will be able to verify the directional microphone and remote microphone features using REM systems and test box measures.
  • Upon completing this session, the participant will be able to perform ANSI electroacoustic analysis in a test box, compare the results to manufacturer tolerance sheets, and identify deviations.
  • Upon completion of this session, the participant will be able to apply both average and measured RECD values in verification software and analyse how these differences affect hearing aid output and patient thresholds.
