Provides better first fits
Fitting accuracy is crucial when selecting hearing aids for the pediatric population—in particular, children ages 0 to 2 who cannot tell you what they are hearing. For best-practice fitting guidelines and clinician peace of mind, it is important to get an accurate fit the first time.
We conducted a study to compare the first-fit accuracy of two pediatric hearing aids, Oticon Play PX and a top competitor. The hearing aids were programmed to the Desired Sensation Level (DSL) fitting formula with manufacturer default settings for a six-month-old child. Results showed that Oticon Play PX achieved an accurate first fit to DSL targets more often than the top competitor and had better first-fit accuracy across a variety of hearing loss configurations.
