VIBRANT<br />
• Level 1 should be chosen for an inexperienced hearing aid user.This<br />
level will typically have the highest compression ratios.<br />
• Level 2 should be chosen for a more experienced hearing aid user.<br />
• Level 3 should be chosen for a very experienced hearing aid user, and<br />
for someone used to linear amplification. This level will typically have<br />
the lowest compression ratios.<br />
• Level 4 should not be used as it is not optimized for theVibrant Soundbridge.<br />
Note that even though the First Fit gain targets may not appear to be<br />
significantly different between levels 1 to 3, the compression ratios and<br />
knee points in each compression region will be significantly different.<br />
Select DSL I/O* as Fitting Formula - NAL/NL1 is also available but has not<br />
been modified to yield gain targets appropriate for a direct drive device.<br />
Therefore, DSL I/O* should be selected.<br />
Select the Number of active Programs – 1, 2, or 3 programs can be stored<br />
within the Amadé’s memory to be used in different listening situations. First<br />
Fit will be applied on the selected number of programs only.<br />
The algorithm of the First Fit procedure differs from a hearing aid in that<br />
theVibrant Soundbridge offers much more high frequency gain.Therefore,<br />
we recommend selecting the First Fit settings and adjusting the response<br />
so that it is comfortable for the user. Keep in mind that it may be too early<br />
to obtain objective measurements as the healing may not be complete.<br />
Note:To initialize the procedure and start the<br />
fitting from the beginning, press the First Fit<br />
button in the Basic Tuning task card or select<br />
First Fit… from the Fitting menu once more.
