Preparing for Testing
Positioning the Speakers

Proper positioning of the loudspeakers relative to the patient’s hearing aids is critical for making accurate and repeatable measurements. Seat the patient so their ear is between 19 and 39 inches from the loudspeaker. The speaker is designed to sit at desk height. When using Live Speech inputs, position the patient and loudspeaker as shown below.
Speaker Calibration
Open the Speaker Calibration screen by clicking the Speaker icon from the REM/LSM top menu bar.

The speaker should be positioned in such a way that nothing blocks the path of the emanated sound in front and on the sides of the speaker. For example, positioning a speaker behind a monitor is incorrect and can severely affect its response at the measurement location. The speaker diaphragm should be at about the same level as the patient’s ear and the reference microphone.
Place the reference microphone on the patient about 1 meter from the speakers.
Click on Start to begin the calibration and wait until it ends. Observe the response curve to flatten itself out. The darker curve is showing the response used by the equalization algorithm, the lighter curve is showing the current microphone input. Use of the powered speaker supplied with this device is recommended.

D-0125127-E 19

Probe Tube Calibration
For reasons of infection control and reliability of results, MedRx recommends that a new probe tube be used with each patient. To ensure accurate measurements, it is necessary to calibrate the probe tube each time it is replaced. 1. Place a new probe tube on the probe microphone port as shown.
2. Place the probe tube between the calibration nibs as shown. Be sure that the opening of the probe tube is centered on the opening of the reference microphone.
In the MedRx Studio LSM software, click the Probe Tube Calibration icon.

Position probe microphone between 19 and 39 inches from the loudspeaker and click Start Both to run simultaneously. The signal must be at least 70 dB to complete a valid calibration. If the screen prompt indicates the signal is too low, increase the volume on the loudspeaker or move the patient closer and restart the calibration.
Repeat for the other probe if calibrated one at a time. Valid calibrations have the same approximate shape as the gray target curve. If the measured calibration curve differs greatly in shape or amplitude from the gray target curve, check or replace the probe tube and re-calibrate. If this does not correct the problem, contact MedRx technical support at 888-392-1234.
The calibration values are available under the Calibration top menu icon. Click the More Options icon (3 dots) then click the Calibration icon.
Return Probe Microphones to MedRx for annual re-calibration. Annual re- calibration of the Avant REM+ Probe Microphones is recommended. There are no user repairable components on this device.

D-0125127-E 20

Step-by-Step Guide to Live Speech Mapping
Ensure that the Audiogram is entered Before making Live Speech Mapping measurements, the patient’s pure tone audiogram must be available to the software. This can occur several ways:
1. The audiogram was automatically entered by MedRx Studio software when testing.
2. The audiogram was manually entered into the Noah audiogram module or Noah 4 software and saved.
3. The audiogram was entered using another manufacturer’s audiogram module.
If none of these have occurred, you may manually enter the audiometric data into the REM software as follows:
1. Under General, then Shown Tests, select show Tone.

2. Select AUD module located at the top left of the software.
3. Using your mouse, select the test ear. 4. Select the test type AC. 5. Enter thresholds by clicking the intersection points with the
mouse. (You may also enter the audiogram by selecting the audio tab in either the REM or HLS/MHA screens). 6. Repeat for UCL (Bone and MCL optional). 7. Repeat steps 3-5 for the other ear.
After the audiogram is entered, click the LSM button to return to the MedRx Studio LSM testing screen.
The Operator Headphone (optional) is used by the operator to monitor the signal being received by the probe microphone.
D-0125127-E 21

Speech Mapping with Recorded Inputs

It is also possible to use an audio CD, such as the patient’s favorite music to perform Speech Mapping.

Select CD as an option under General and Signal.

The Studio software provides several digital audio files to use as a repeatable stimulus for Speech Mapping. These are accessed by clicking the File button on the right and then selecting the desired track from the pull- down menu in the audio player. Peak measurements are recommended.
Once the desired pure tone or white noise track is selected, click the Start button to begin measuring. A pure tone or white noise will be presented and once it reaches the selected input level with the slide bar, the chosen track will play. When enough data is collected, click the Stop button to stop the recording and record the measurement.

Select the CD button and then select a track. Use the sound level meter on screen to check the proper level. Adjust the output of the speaker to desired level using the sound level meter. (Remember conversational speech is 65 dB at 1 meter).

Stimulus Signal Types
Pure Tone: A pure sine wave. Crest Factor = 1.41 (3.0dB)
Broadband Noise (BBN): Uniform random noise with normal (Gaussian) amplitude distribution. Can be weighted to White, Pink, Speech ANSI, and Speech Byrne (see below.)
Pseudo Random Noise (PRN): A “synthetic” broadband random noise. It is less uniform than BBN, has lower spectral density and random volleys. Can be weighted to White, Pink, Speech ANSI, and Speech Byrne (see below.)
ICRA Noise: This stimulus was developed for measuring characteristics of non- linear instruments. The noise is weighted to Byrne LTASS.
ISTS: (International Speech Test Signal) Initiated by European Hearing Instrument Manufacturing Association (EHIMA.) This signal is based on natural recordings of 21 female speakers in six different languages American English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German and Spanish. The signal is largely non- intelligible because of segmentation and remixing. The speech material was filtered to Byrne LTASS.
Crest Factor: 9.23 (19.3dB)
Rainbow Passage: Natural recordings of several voices reciting the rainbow passage. Shaped to Byrne LTASS.
Broadband Noise Weighting
White: This is essentially no weighting or filtering. The White Noise has flat power spectral density. Power at every frequency is equal. Because
D-0125127-E 27

the density of frequencies (individual cycles) raises with frequency, there is more energy in high octaves.
White-weighted noise can be used mostly for testing of equipment. It is not recommended to use it for hearing aid fitting, unless specified by the manufacturer.
Crest Factor: BBN = 1.73 (4.8dB), PRN = 7.86 (17.9dB)
Pink: The noise is filtered so its energy per frequency (power spectral density) is inversely proportional to the frequency. Each octave carries the same amount of energy. Comparing to White Noise, the Pink Noise energy drops approximately 3dB per octave.
Pink-weighted noise can be used mostly for testing of equipment. It is not recommended to use it for hearing aid fitting, unless specified by the manufacturer.
Crest Factor: BBN = 3.67 (11.3dB), PRN = 6.55 (16.3dB)
Speech ­ Byrne: The noise is approximately weighted to International Long Terms Average Speech Spectrum (ILTASS) as described in Byrne et. al., 1994.
The noise with this weighting is preferred for hearing aid fitting because its spectrum is the best approximation of the spectrum of real human speech.
Crest Factor: BBN = 4.22 (12.5dB), PRN = 3.47 (10.8dB)
Speech ­ ANSI: The noise is approximately weighted to ANSI S3.42 Speech Noise.
The noise with this weighting can be used for fitting hearing aids. The slope of ANSI-weighted noise is not as steep as Byrne-weighted, so there is more power in higher octaves. This will result in less gain

required by the hearing aid to reach targets, but may result in underfitting at high frequencies.
Crest Factor: BBN = 4.46 (13.0dB), PRN = 5.17 (14.3dB)
To activate specific REM tests, click the buttons as follows:
Opens the audiometry data entry screen. Use this if audiometry has not been previously measured and entered into Noah.
Real Ear Unaided Response – Measures the additive effect of the ear canal’s resonance to a stimulus. Reported as dB SPL of output.
Real Ear Unaided Gain – Measures the additive effect of the ear canal’s resonance to a stimulus. Reported as dB SPL of gain. If a real ear unaided response (REUR) curve has been measured, the corresponding real ear unaided gain curve is automatically plotted to the REUG screen.
The difference between the REUG and the REAG is called the Real Ear Insertion Gain (REIG). This Insertion Gain information is used to compare to the target gain curve selected for the client.
The Real Ear Aided Response (REAR) is the sound pressure level in the ear canal measured with the probe microphone close to the eardrum and the operating hearing instrument inserted in the ear and turned on. ANSI defines REAR as the SPL, as a function of frequency, at a specified measurement point in the ear canal for a specified sound field, with the hearing aid in place and turned on.
D-0125127-E 28

The REAG is simply the REAR expressed as gain rather than SPL. Selecting REAG allows you to see the gain at each frequency for each of the REAR curves measured.
REOR measures the effect on the natural external ear effects resulting from inserting an ear mold or a hearing instrument, before it is turned on, into the ear canal. The REOR is also referred to as Insertion Loss. REOR is also useful for validating the effectiveness of venting or canal length changes to the mold.
The Real Ear Occluded Gain (REOG) is the difference in decibels, as a function of frequency, between SPL in the ear canal and SPL at the reference microphone at the entrance of the ear canal with the hearing aid in the ear and turned off. For each REOR measurement curve, the corresponding REOG curve is calculated and automatically plotted to the REOG screen. The REOG function is useful in determining the acoustic seal of a hearing aid, relative to a sound field outside the ear.
Some clients report they seem like they are “speaking in a barrel” or “feel blocked up”. These are signs of a buildup of self-generated low frequency energy in the ear canal. This excessive occlusion can be measured objectively in the Occlusion Effect task.
The Real Ear to Coupler Difference (RECD) is used to simulate real ear measurements by coupler measurements and is useful when fitting children or “difficult” to fit patients. See the section on RECD later in this manual for more detail.
The Maximum Power Output test measures hearing aid response at high input levels. The software measures MPO with ISTS multitalker noise played at 55dB and then

five 90dB tone bursts at the following frequencies: 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, 5000Hz.
Additional Tests & Features
Real Ear to Coupler Difference (RECD)
The Real Ear to Coupler Difference (RECD) is used to simulate real ear measurements by coupler measurements and is useful when fitting children or “difficult” to fit patients. RECD measurements can be conducted outside of a Hearing Instrument Test Box when using the optional MedRx RECD Coupler.
The RECD values are used as a correction to coupler measures for that client’s hearing instruments. By performing all subsequent measures in the coupler and applying the RECD corrections to the coupler
D-0125127-E 29

measures, the “real ear” factors are incorporated into the results. The resulting simulated measurements provide information to select and make adjustments to the hearing instrument and verify adjustments in the MedRx coupler rather than in the uncooperative client’s ear. This is particularly important in the case of children, whose small volume ear canals enhance high frequency amplification more so than in average adults. This is an essential consideration in determining the maximum output of the hearing instrument.
If RECD data is present, the software will display an option to choose between Ear or Coupler measurement on all Real Ear screens where measurements in a coupler are appropriate.
There are two ways to measure the REAR response with optional RECD coupler: using an insert headphone or a hearing instrument.
If a hearing instrument is used, its volume control setting and other parameters should remain the same for both REAR and coupler measurements. Set the volume control to moderate, and turn the compression and noise reduction circuits off.
Using open-fit hearing aids for RECD measurements may result in invalid low and mid-frequency measurements because of insufficient gain at those frequencies. Please contact your hearing aid manufacturer for recommendations.

How to Perform the
RECD Task
First, perform the REAR task to obtain a REAR curve. This can be measured with a hearing instrument or an insert earphone.
REAR with a hearing instrument
· Adjust volume of the hearing instrument to comfortable listening level. Turn the compression and noise reduction circuits off.
· Position the client less than one meter from the speaker and facing the speaker.
· Place the hearing instrument and the probe microphone tube as for all REM measurements.
· Select START to open the measurement type selection screen.
· Choose the REAR with a Hearing Aid option. · Select OK to begin the test and wait until it
concludes.
REAR with an insert headphone
· Place the probe microphone tube as for all REM measurements but use the insert headphone instead of a hearing instrument.
· Select START to open the measurement type selection screen.
· Choose the REAR with an Insert Headphone option.
· Select OK to begin the test and wait until it concludes.
D-0125127-E 30

Coupler Response
When the REAR measurement is complete, you are prompted to perform a coupler response.
· Attach the hearing instrument or the insert headphone (must be the same as in the REAR test) to the appropriate coupler and place the probe tube inside the coupler.
· If a hearing instrument is used, be sure to perform this measurement at the same volume control setting as the first measurement.
· Select START to open the measurement type selection screen.
· Choose the Coupler Response option or Use Stored to skip the measurement (see note below.)
· Select OK and wait until the test completes. · The calculated RECD curve is automatically displayed on the
screen and is stored in memory for correction of subsequent coupler measurements made from the RECD function.
NOTE: If the REAR and the coupler response were measured with the insert headphone, the program saves the coupler response curve for later use. In this case to obtain another RECD, only REAR with insert headphone measurement is necessary. This is possible because the coupler response does not change provided that neither the coupler nor the insert earphone has changed.

NOTE: After measuring RECD, it is possible to perform Live Speech Mapping in the coupler as well. Look for the “Measuring in” option on the LSM screen.
Measuring Acoustic
Feedback
Feedback (whistling, howling) is one of the most common complaints of hearing instrument users. Even though many modern hearing instruments have sophisticated feedback management systems, knowing exactly where the feedback is occurring can greatly reduce the time required to resolve the problem. The AVANT REM+ system does an excellent job measuring and displaying acoustic feedback.
1. Place the calibrated probe tube in the ear canal as instructed previously.
2. Place the hearing instrument in the ear without disturbing the probe tube.
3. Begin a Live Speech Mapping session as instructed previously.
4. When feedback is present, click the Start button.
5. Acoustic feedback appears as a large spike in the LSM response.

D-0125127-E 31

If a more specific frequency analysis of the feedback is desired, change the resolution of the system to 1/24 octave and adjust the smoothing in the General LSM or REM settings menu. This image shows the similar feedback as above at 1/24 octave, smoothing 1.
Using this information, make any necessary adjustments to the hearing instrument to reduce or remove the feedback.
Hearing Loss Simulator
The Hearing Loss Simulator demonstrates the effect of the client’s hearing loss for the significant third party. The program attenuates an input signal to simulate the audiogram. The third party listens to the free field speakers.
The Hearing Loss Simulator requires the client’s Audiogram data. This data can be manually entered in the Audio screen of this or any other task.
How to use the Hearing Loss Simulator
1. Select the Hearing Loss Simulator tab on the toolbar. 2. Enter the Audiogram values manually if the data is not
automatically imported to this screen. 3. Select the input signal type: File or CD. Select the track and the
Play button on the control panel. The HLS output is directed to the free field loudspeakers.

4. Select Simulate to turn on the simulation of the client’s hearing loss. Deselect Simulate to present the stimulus as a normal hearing person would perceive the sound. Toggle between these selections as necessary.
5. The Reset option restores the audiogram to the original state. Use this option if you have modified the audiogram while in the simulate mode but want to undo the changes. The changes to the Audiogram that are made on the HLS screen are temporary and will not affect the client’s original audiometry record.
6. A volume control adjustment bar allows modifying the audio for manual adjustment of the output level of the free field speakers. This allows the practitioner to demonstrate improvements to hearing loss with amplification or what happens when further hearing loss occurs.
7. To stop the playback, select the Stop button on the player.
Note: It is recommended you use a variety of tracks from the list to demonstrate the hearing loss.
Master Hearing Aid
Master Hearing Aid is an alternative to using a stock hearing aid to demonstrate the benefits of amplification to an inexperienced user. The system applies the fitting rules by default to the patient’s audiogram and simulates a hearing aid. The patient listens to this signal through the headphones. Options for editing the gain applied to the audiogram are provided.
About the Master Hearing Aid Display
The Master Hearing Aid screen displays a graph with dB Gain on the vertical axis and Frequency in Hz on the horizontal axis. The plot on the graph represents the gain applied to the patient’s Audiogram. The NAL-
D-0125127-E 32

RP is applied by default. A new rule can be selected from the list on the right side of the display. A volume adjustment bar allows for manual adjustment of the output level. The control panel on the right of the display provides options for input signal source and the task icons for Normal and Simulate.
The Master Hearing Aid applies gain separately for each ear. If audiogram values are entered for the left and right ear, the selected fitting rules will be applied to each ear separately. Different rules may be entered for each ear (i.e. NAL-RP for left ear and BERGER for right ear). If an audiogram is entered only for one ear, the gain will not be adjusted for the opposite ear and the sound for that ear will be normal.
If Binaural mode is selected, the sound will be heard from both channels (left and right). If Monaural mode is selected, the sound will be heard only from the channel corresponding to the active ear when the channel for the opposite ear will be muted.
Input signal
File allows the user to play sound files. The program supports MP3 and WAV files and comes with a preset MedRx Sounds Sensations set of files. After the option is activated, use the player panel to control the playback.
CD allows the user to play music CDs. After the option is activated, use the player panel to control the playback.

How to use the Master Hearing Aid:
1. Select the Master Hearing Aid (MHA) icon from the main screen.
2. Enter the Audiogram values manually if the data is not automatically imported to this screen.
3. Select the input signal type: File or CD. 4. Select Monaural or Binaural. 5. Select the Simulate icon to modify the input signal according to
the selected rule. This selection allows the patient to hear the benefits of amplification. Deselect the Simulate icon which will send the input signal through to the inserts without modification. The patient is listening to the signal without any amplification benefit. Toggle between these two selections as necessary. 6. If the simulated frequency response needs to be adjusted based on feedback from the patient, manually edit the response by clicking on the gain curve at the desired frequency and new gain level. The gain curve of the selected test ear on the control panel can be edited. To edit the other ear, click the appropriate test ear icon on the control panel first.
Hint: Use the track return icon on the player control panel to replay one track continuously.
The Reset option restores the rule to the original state. Use this option if you have modified the rule but want to undo the changes.

Rainbow Passage
When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. These take the shape of a long round arch, with its path high above and its two ends apparently beyond the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one end. People look, but no one ever finds it. When a man looks for something beyond his reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey a, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range b.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency ranges applies.

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Avant REM is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Avant REM should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Avant REM.
b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
