Before the Fitting Begins:

• Check the adjustments in SET (see chapter setup fitting).
• Once the first measurement has been performed, changes to the setup cannot be made. 
• Select the signals, loudspeakers and levels for performing the measurement.The singal, levels, and loudspeaker settings can be adjusted for each individual memory.
• Once the proper adjustments have been made, the settings can be applied to the entire fitting process. For more information see the section labeled "Important Advice" at the end of this section.
• For more information about the general fitting procedures please refer to the sections: "General information to the fitting" and "Control."

Fitting: Comparing Measurement sub-tab

The display for the Fitting Comparing measurement tab is shown below in Figure 175.

This tab is designated for the actual hearing instrument fitting.

The data within this tab are integrated into the "evaluation," the "fitting report," and the "special documentation" sections.

Memories within the Comparing measurement tab (Figure 175)

• In the Comparing measurement tab 10 memories are available.
• In each of the 10 memories different devices and/or combinations of devices can be tested.
• Different devices and/or device settings can be compared against one another.
• Click between <memory #1> and <memory # 10> to switch between memories.

Left hearing aid/Right hearing aid options (Figure 175):

Information such as manufacturer, type, and other information can be entered. The fields manufacturer and type are self learning. Information entered here is saved independently from the patient information. This information can always be accessed for editing purposes.

Fitting Report:

Information pertaining to each memory within the comparing measurement tab is integrated into the fitting report and into the special documentation section.

The field to the right of the <memory> button is used to type in the names or titles of each memory (Figure 176). This information is not transferred to the reports or special documentation section.

5. Memory [current] to memory [current -1] copy
   Copies the current memory to the following memory (This function is not possible in Figure 177 because no following memory is listed).
   
   
6. Preset these settings for the fitting process
   Applies the adjustments of the levels, signals, and loudspeakers to the entire fitting.

Special importance of the fitting memories in a bilateral Fitting:

When you have performed your selection of the hearing instruments and fitting it is required that you repeat the measurement with one instrument.

Enter the favorite instrument into a free memory (or copy the memory) and delete the fields on the right side.

Perform a discrimination test and repeat this procedure for the other ear.

Apply the monaural measurements to the right and to the left ears.
