REM AutoFit
Tailor your fittings with REM AutoFit
REM AutoFit1 in Oticon Genie 2 conveniently and efficiently personalizes each fitting to the patient’s unique ear acoustics.
Upgrade your fitting practice
Because gain in fitting software is usually based on an average ear canal, it does not always perfectly suit the particular shapes and sizes of each individual’s ears. REM AutoFit takes each individual’s ear acoustics into consideration by measuring, automatically adjusting and verifying the prescribed gain in the patient's ears.
Benefit from Real Ear Measurements (REM)
- Comfortable fitting with quick verification
- More time for counseling and validation
- Optimal hearing aid benefit thanks to verified fitting2,3
- May aid in reducing number of visits in the clinic4
- Improves patient perception of hearing care professionals and hearing aids5
Verify and validate for a more efficient business
REM AutoFit streamlines your workflow to give each of your patients a shorter and more comfortable fitting experience during hearing aid verification. With the time you save by integrating REM AutoFit into your fitting process, you can devote valuable minutes to other aspects of clinical practice such as validation and counseling, or see more patients during the day.
What’s more, because verification and validation can reduce the return visits that a patient makes on average4, incorporating REM AutoFit into your fitting process is a smart investment that can pay multiple dividends in time and cost savings.
All inside Oticon Genie 2
REM AutoFit communicates with the REM system to run the measurements. Oticon Genie 2 can then automatically adjust the hearing aid gain to match the target, while giving you the flexibility to manually fine-tune and verify the fitting. This gives you a single software program to launch, work in, and maintain.
