EXPRESSfit Pro 2022.2.0

08/2022

Additional measurement levels in Real Ear Fit
In 2022.2, an additional measurement level for real ear measurements (REM) in Real Ear Fit has been added. Soft levels (input levels of 50 and 55 dB) and loud levels (input levels of 75 and 80 dB) can now be chosen for REM modules when using the inter module communication protocol 2 (IMC2). Furthermore, 55 dB has been added as a soft level when using Verifit®LINK (loud and moderate input levels of 75 dB and 65 dB remain unchanged). Soft and loud levels are configurable in Preferences.

Transfer of targets from Real Ear Fit to IMC2 compatible REM systems
REM targets from the proprietary fitting rationales can now be transferred from EXPRESSfit Pro to IMC2 compatible REM systems. This makes it possible to verify against Best Fit Fast fitting rationales, optimizing the fitting and enhancing the overall experience for the patient.

Transfer of audiogram and fitting parameters from EXPRESSfit Proto Verifit
Patient audiograms and fitting parameters can now be transferred from EXPRESSfit Pro to the Verifit1 or Verifit2. This removes the need to manually enter the data directly into the Verifit, which reduces the risk of errors. 

Firmware update 1.4 for true hands-free calls
Radiant miniRITE and miniBTE hearing aids with firmware 1.3 offer hands-free communication with iPhone and iPad devices. Wireless firmware update version 1.4 enables push button functionality so users can accept, end, or reject calls with the simple press of the hearing aid push button.

New acoustic coupling option for miniBTE
EXPRESSfit Pro supports a new acoustic coupling option for the Radiant miniBTE. Joining the existing 0.9 mm thin tube, it is now possible to fit 1.3 mm thin tubes on the Radiant miniBTE T and miniBTE T R. This discreet option provides more output than the 0.9 mm tubing if needed.

Sonic EXPRESSfit Pro 2021.2 supports the new Radiant 100|80|60 miniRITE T style and includes several helpful new fitting features:

Fitting Assistant
The Fitting Assistant is an interactive tool to fine-tune hearing aids during a fitting or follow-up visit. Based on a selected topic and patient complaint, EXPRESSfit Pro can identify and offer an appropriate solution. Solutions consist of changes to gain as well as other recommendations which can be applied to the hearing aids with the click of a button.

Remote Fitting update

• Remote Fitting now supports In-situ Audiometry, which operates in the same manner as when it is performed in the clinic. To secure optimal quality of the in-situ audiogram, the ambient noise level in the patient’s environment can be measured through the hearing aid and displayed in EXPRESSfit Pro.
• If multiple cameras and/or sound equipment are connected to the fitting PC, the HCP can select which of them shall be used for the session in the remote fitting window

Bone conduction handling for first fit prescription
Bone conduction thresholds can now be included or excluded with the first fit prescription for mixed hearing losses.

Improved awareness for Adaptation Level setting
The Adaptation Level setting is now shown in each fitting screen, to improve the awareness during the hearing aid fitting or follow up session.

Battery health indicator for rechargeable products
Lithium-ion batteries can lose their capacity over time and need to be replaced when they have reached the end of their lifetime. The new battery health indicator in EXPRESSfit Pro shows the remaining capacity of the hearing aid's rechargeable battery and recommends a battery change when needed.

ProbeGUIDE - Verifit^®Link update
EXPRESSfit Pro now supports Audioscan's unique ‘Probe Tube Placement’ feature. This tool allows more precise and safer placement of the REM probe tube when using Real Ear Fit with Verifit^®Link

REM module launcher
Connected REM modules can be launched directly from the REM settings screen in EXPRESSfit Pro
