Product Support | Fitting Software
Inspire 2010 puts the power of Impulse Technology to work for you with the most advanced, intuitive programming tool on the market – so you and your family receive the most precise fittings and superior counseling.
Every person’s hearing needs are unique. Now hearing care professionals have a more personal, accurate way to fit patients with Micro-Tech’s Prescription Fitting Package including Live Real Ear Measurement", Live Speech Mapping and e-STAT. We strongly believe a precise fitting is critical to creating successful patient outcomes, which is why this system is integrated into all Micro-Tech models and technology levels.
Key Features:
Live Integrated Real Ear Measurement* New
Micro-Tech was the first company to integrate real-ear measurement into a hearing aid. Now Live Real Ear Measurement in Axio™ and Vector™ takes this capability to the next level. With this system and the power of Inspire fitting software, hearing care professionals can watch the hearing aid output in a patient’s ear, live in real-ear SPL, while the system evaluates the hearing aid response and matches to your selected target – providing you with the most precise fitting information available.
Live Speech Mapping New
Live Speech Mapping allows the hearing care professional to illustrate how the hearing aid is processing speech or any other input in real time and displays it for easy understanding and verification of performance.
Lifestyle Assessment New
The Lifestyle Assessment is a new tool to help patients to understand the acoustic environments they are in regularly, allowing the hearing care professional to recommend the ideal technology level for their unique lifestyles.
Hearing Loss Simulator
The Hearing Loss Simulator allows you and your loved ones experience the impact hearing loss can have with a live demonstration. And with the new drawing tools features, your hearing care professional can draw on screen to provide additional patient counseling.
Surround Town
SurroundTown continues to be the most breakthrough audio simulator of its time and gives you a full understanding of real-world listening environments and challenges.
Auto Path Fitting
Auto Path is an automatic function that provides the most efficient, reliable and prescriptively appropriate initial fit in the industry. You won’t even need to detect the new device — Inspire does it for you.
e-STAT
At Micro-Tech, we understand the delicate balance of maximizing speech audibility while maintaining listening comfort. By analyzing thousands of successful and unsuccessful hearing aids, we were able to arrive at an evidence-based fitting formula solution called e-STAT, which provides patients with optimal access to speech cues, improving speech understanding while creating comfortable listening levels for all-day use.
Additional Features:
-
The Best Fit algorithm optimally adjusts all hearing device parameters to best approximate the targets for the selected fitting formula. Best Fit also sets the adaptive features according to the patient's hearing thresholds when the feature is available for a particular circuit. Target Match is a derivative of Best Fit where bands, channels, output and threshold kneepoints are modified to match the prescriptive targets. Both Target Match and Best Fit can be applied to a single memory or all memories with the click of a button.
-
Inspire OS allows for in-situ Audiometry. From the Greek meaning for "in place," in-situ enables the hearing aid to generate pure tone signals for the purpose of obtaining thresholds and uncomfortable levels in dB HL.
-
Track a hearing device's performance over time through downloadable information for ongoing analysis and even greater adjustment precision in future visits.
-
This new feature allows the hearing aid performance to be updated through Inspire when new versions of the firmware become available.
-
Micro-Tech Synchronous Interface (SSI)The new SSI protocol in Inspire enables bi-synchronous communication between the software and the hearing device, making adjustments faster and simpler than ever before.
