About this Event
The Foundational Role of Objective Verification and Counseling in Best Practice Amplification Treatment
Best-practice amplification is defined by the consistent application of validated fitting formulas and objective verification to confirm that prescribed targets—and meaningful audibility goals—are being achieved.
This full-day, hands-on workshop provides a structured, evidence-based approach to integrating verification across the patient care continuum—from the diagnostic visit through fitting and follow-up. Participants learn how to use objective measures to establish speech audibility goals, confirm hearing aid performance, and translate results into effective, patient-centered counseling.
Using Verifit®2 systems and supplied hearing devices, participants will learn how to:
- Accurately implement validated generic fitting formulas
- Objectively confirm target achievement and speech audibility
- Use verification results to support clinically meaningful counseling
- Guide adaptation, rehabilitation, and long-term outcomes
Participants complete workstation-based Learning Labs covering:
- Diagnostic-visit procedures and counseling tools
- RECD measurement and SPL-based audiograms
- Pre-fit hearing aid verification and programming
- On-ear fitting verification and counseling strategies
Hands-on instruction also includes verification of modern hearing technology features, including:
- Directional microphones
- Noise reduction
- Speech-in-noise management features
- Remote microphone systems
Case Study Challenges provide opportunities to apply these techniques in realistic clinical scenarios.
This Master Class is designed for clinicians seeking a practical, evidence-based framework that integrates validated fitting formulas, objective verification, and audibility-based, patient-centered counseling to support consistent, high-quality amplification care. Don’t miss this opportunity to receive hands-on training from the experts in hearing instrument verification. Register today!
