Measuring the length of earmold

The New VERIFIT 2 from AudioScan

Meet the new Verifit®2

The hearing instrument fitting system that gives you total control

Verifit2: The only platform for paired instruments

Paired instruments are here to stay, and the Verifit2 has been designed to provide a practical way to test them. The first and only such system, the Verifit 2 gives you the tools to begin testing paired features today, and the platform for expanded testing capabilities in the future. 

Verifit2: The only fully binaural system 

Since most instruments are fit binaurally, Audioscan designed an acoustically uniform test box where two instruments are mounted vertically, facing the main speaker. The first simultaneous binaural test box measures are now possible. As-worn™ positioning of instruments means that results are quickly and intuitively achieved. The monitor headphones are also binaural so you can listen in on any active test for instant troubleshooting and quality checks. 

Verifit2: The only 16kHz verification system 

Hearing instrument manufacturers have been providing amplification above 8kHz for some time - but there has been no way to verify this benefit, until now. The new Verifit is fully wide band to 16kHz, so you can now get the complete picture. 

Verifit2: Office ready & faster than ever

Major refinements like quick-connect coupling, 60% fewer cables, streamlined Speechmap® interface, and binaural operation all mean that you can make fully informed decisions for your patients faster. The new Verifit 2 integrates modern design, adaptable setup, and a full compliment of data management options. 

Hearing aids - no sound?

Why my hearing aid has no sound? This question would come to a hearing aid user who has worn a hearing aid for a few months. First thought would be because the hearing aid is faulty. 

Among the causes of a non functioning hearing aid is the earmold. In the picture above the patient could not hear because the earmold is blocked with wax. Even though it may seem just a little bit of wax in the sound bore or tubing, sound completely cannot pass through the wax. Other materials can also completely obstruct such as dirt sometimes even a drop of sweat. When a person is working hard and sweating, water vapor may condense within the sound tube. This little droplets can combine and complete block the sound tube and the patient cannot hear any sounds coming from his or her hearing aid. 

Cleaning the earmold is easy and can be done at home.

Firstly remove the earmold from the Hearing Aid to ensure the hearing aid is not exposed to water. We need to soal the earmold in solutions to disinfect from germs. 

After soaking for 15-30 mins, wash the earmold in clean running water. Run water through the tubing to check if the tubing is blocked.

Then wipe the earmold clean and dry. Also use an air syringe or puffer to clear any remaining water or moisture within the earmold tubing.

Once properly dry, insert the tubing of the earmold into the tonehook of the hearing aid. You should hear the clear sounds from your hearing aids again
