NOAH and standalone versions
Unitron TrueFit fitting software is available both as a NOAH module and as standalone software. The only difference with these versions is the client information storage. For the NOAH version, the fitting software relies on NOAH's database to save client specific information including audiogram. The standalone version does not use NOAH and contains its own client database.
Programming information
Prior to detecting the hearing instrument(s), choose your desired programming interface. Note: During programming hearing instrument controls, automatic program, accessories, easy-t, easy-DAI, audio streaming, Bluetooth® connectivity, and automatic microphone options are deactivated.
iCube II
· If using iCube II for the first time, you will need to configure the fitting device. From the top menu select Options > iCube Configuration and follow the on-screen instructions.
· If using iCube II, insert batteries into the hearing instruments and close the battery door. Place hearing instruments on your client's ears and place the iCube II around your client's neck or place the hearing instruments inside the iCube II neck loop.
NOAHlink / HI-PRO
· If using NOAHlink or HI-PRO with BTE or RIC hearing instruments, open the battery door and insert the programming cable into the programming port. Connect the other end of the cable to the NOAHlink or HI-PRO.
· If using NOAHlink or HI-PRO with ITE hearing instruments, remove the battery door and insert the programming cable. Connect the other end of the cable to the NOAHlink or HI-PRO.
Note: BTE and RIC hearing instruments are initially fit to a 40 dB HL flat hearing loss configured for the left ear upon shipping. ITE hearing instruments are fit to the client's audiogram if supplied; otherwise, the devices are using a 40 dB HL flat hearing loss. Note: For Quantum or Quantum2 micro CIC products or Quantum2 10A, Stride 10A, Insera 10A or Shine Rev+ 10A custom products, ensure you are using the white programming cable to avoid damaging the hearing instrument. Note: Shine Rev hearing instruments are non-wireless and can be programmed with NOAHlink or HI-PRO.

For units with a battery door, insert batteries into the hearing instruments and close the battery doors. This will also place the units in pairing more, which lasts for 3 minutes.
· If connecting to hearing instruments that are not saved in the current session, the hearing instruments must be in pairing mode.
· If connecting to hearing instruments that are already saved in the current session, the hearing instruments do not have to be in pairing mode.
Note: All bluetooth instruments are wireless and can only be programmed using Noahlink Wireless.
Tool bar icons
There are tool bar icons available at the top right hand corner of each screen. Print icon: opens a window that shows the documents available such as the Fitting Reports and the Getting Started Guides (hearing instruments and accessories, if applicable). The client's language for the Getting Started Guides can be selected. The selected documents can be previewed, printed or saved from this window. Save icon: saves the current fitting information. Choose from Save to hearing instrument, Save to database, Save to accessories (if accessory added to fitting). Undo/Redo: removes or repeats an action that was made in the fitting software. Hover over the icon to see which action will be affected by clicking. Undo/Redo is available within some tasks but the list of items to be undone will not carry over across tasks. Updates available: this icon appears if there are software updates available. Click on this icon to open the Software Updates tab of the Welcome screen.

If fitting a new client, or if the user has chosen to create a new fitting, then the Initial Configuration workflow (see below) will be displayed. For all other fitting scenarios, following a Detect the user will be directed to the Insights Overview screen.
Initial Configuration
Since the release of Unitron TrueFit 4.1, the Initial Configuration workflow is optionally displayed following detection of hearing instruments.
The workflow is displayed when: · A new client is being fitted for the first time with new hearing instruments, or · You select to Create New Fitting at the end of the Detect sequence.
When Unitron TrueFit is reading a fitting from the detected hearing instruments, the workflow will not be displayed and you will be taken to the Insights Overview screen.
If the workflow is launched, there are five potential screens in the workflow.
Note: the hearing instruments will be muted, and the Back and Next buttons will allow you to navigate back and forth between the screens: 1. Confirm technology level: The first screen shown if fitting a FLEX:TRIAL unit. This screen
allows you to view the differentiation in features between the current and other available technology levels. Click Next to maintain the current level. If you want to make a change, clicking Apply will launch the Change Technology Level wizard. 2. Confirm client information: The first screen shown if fitting a non FLEX:TRIAL device. On this screen you review the client's date of birth and audiogram and confirm their experience with hearing instruments, i.e. First Time or Long Term. If no audiogram is available for either side, the InSitu buttons will be shown allowing you to run through the InSitu workflow. If you need to change either the date of birth or the audiogram information select Cancel to make the changes. Note: This will disconnect the hearing instruments and following a subsequent Detect, the Initial Configuration workflow will be launched again. 3. Confirm device acoustics: Asks you to confirm the device acoustic settings with the option to change values if necessary. 4. Confirm initial configuration: On arrival at this screen, the first fit has been calculated and the hearing instruments will automatically be unmuted (the option exists to manually mute again if required). Additionally, you have the option to alter the Fitting Formula or make adjustments to the Adaptation Manager, with the ability to launch the Feedback Optimization workflow if necessary. 5. Initial configuration complete: As the final screen in the workflow, this provides quick links to the most common follow on actions within Unitron TrueFit (i.e. Tuning, Program Manager, Insights Setup, Accessories or Fitting Summary). Or you can exit the workflow by selecting Close where you will be returned to the screen from where you initially launched the device Detection. If fitting Moxi All, Discover, wireless Discover Next or Blu products, the setting to enable Insights for that client by clicking the Enable button is displayed. Display of this section is conditional upon you already being logged in to your myUnitron account and having Insights enabled. Note: The email address is requested to enable Unitron to send an Overall Satisfaction email survey at a future point, but the provision of the email address is not mandatory nor is it required to enable client activation of the client's Insights profile.

Acoustics
Select the Acoustics screen to configure items such as: coupling, venting, earhook, tubing, earpiece, receiver unit, and Peak Resonance.
BTE and RIC instruments
· If you have ordered your earmold, cShell, or sleeve molds with IntelliVent, enter the code and the software will automatically use the optimal venting.
· For BTEs select Regular Tube, Slim Tube or Power Slim Tube (Max only). · For BTEs with an earhook, select Vent size, Earhook type and Tubing type. (Note: with Discover and Discover Next, Earhook and Tubing settings will default to values of `Filtered' and `Standard' respectively. No drop downs will be displayed.) · For BTEs with Slim Tube, select your Ear Piece, Vent and Tubing Length (optional). · For Max BTEs with Power Slim Tube, select your Ear Piece, Vent and Tubing Length.
Note: The tubing length parameter is for record keeping with slim tubes and has no impact on the output of the system. In contrast, tubing length will impact Max products with power slim tubes and should be set appropriately as this parameter will influence the quick fit. · For RICs (Moxi on Era, North or Tempus platforms), select your Receiver, Ear Piece,
Wire Length (optional) and Dome Size (optional). Note: The wire length and dome size parameters are for record keeping only and have no impact on the output of the system. · For RICs (Moxi on the Discover, Discover Next or Blu platforms) using SDS 4.0, Unitron TrueFit automatically detects the receiver during the detection process. Press the Check button to manually check that the fitted receiver is in fact the one you have selected in Unitron TrueFit software. A receiver is recommended based on your client's hearing loss. The recommended receiver will be indicated by a target symbol. Note: Click on the Recalculate button after configuring the acoustic parameters to ensure the product fitting considers these aspects.
Custom instruments
For custom instruments, you can configure the vent. If you have ordered the custom products with IntelliVent, the software will automatically read the code and use the optimal venting.

Adaptation Manager (for Tempus and older products)
1. Click on the Adaptation Manager task item at the bottom of the screen. 2. Select the Automatic check box to activate the Automatic Adaptation Manager (AAM).
With Max products, select the Automatic / Power check box to activate the Automatic Adaptation Manager or the Power Adaptation Manager (PAM). The software will use a proprietary calculation that considers the client's hearing loss, age, and hearing instrument experience level (previously selected via the Client / Experience Level screen, which has been removed from v4.0 onwards) to determine the starting adaptation manager setting and the adaptation rate for the fitting. 3. If desired, change the speed of adaptation for the current fitting using the provided Adaptation Speed dropdown box. Choose from the following adaptation rates (the number of weeks / months changes depending on the difference between the Current Value and End Value): · 5% per week (~ 6 weeks) · 5% per 2 weeks (~ 3 months) · 5% per 3 weeks (~ 5 months) · 5% per 1 month (~ 6 months) · 5% per 2 months (~ 12 months) · 5% per 3 months (~ 18 months) · 5% per 4 months (~ 24 months) · 5% per 5 months (~ 30 months) · 5% per 6 months (~ 36 months) Note: For Max, when the Current value is above the End Value, the above choices represent the approximate time for a 5% decrease in the current value of PAM. Note: For calculation purposes, the adaptation rate assumes one week of use = 70 hours (i.e., 10 hours / day). Thus at the follow-up appointment, the Current position may differ from what is expected based on calendar days depending on the client's actual usage time per week. 4. If desired, you can adjust the Current position (% of target) and the desired End Value (% of target) for the chosen fitting formula using the provided sliders. If this is a follow-up fitting and the Automatic Adaptation Manager is enabled, then you will see a grey bar representing the adaptation progress that has been made so far.
Note: The predicted Time remaining to reach the end value will be updated automatically depending on the relative position of the Current and End Value sliders.
Note: If desired, the AAM or PAM can be disabled by de-selecting the Automatic check box. You can then select their desired adaptation manager setting using the Current slider.
Note: This feature is global and will impact all programs.
Note: For Max products, adaptation manager settings above 100% affect both the `% of target gain' provided and the MPO setting of the hearing instrument. Adaptation manager settings below 100% impact only % of target gain.

Unitron TrueFit software instruction guide v5.0
Adaptation Manager (Discover and Discover Next products)
There have been some updates to the Adaptation Manager which are applicable to Discover and Discover Next products only. In essence the controls within Unitron TrueFit for adjusting the current value are similar to what we had prior to Discover with some key differences which we will cover here. 1. Click on the Adaptation Manager task item at the bottom of the screen. 2. Select the Automatic check box to activate the Automatic Adaptation Manager (AAM).
Select the Power check box to activate the Power Adaptation Manager (PAM). The software will use a proprietary calculation that considers the client's hearing loss, age, and hearing instrument experience level (selected during the Initial Configuration workflow) to determine the starting adaptation manager setting and the adaptation rate for the fitting. 3. If desired, change the speed of adaptation for the current fitting using the provided Adaptation Speed dropdown box. Choose from the following Adaptation Speed rates (Slowest, Slow, Moderate, Fast, Fastest) which equates to an approximate number of weeks that it will take to move to the target value.
Recommended starting value
The Adaptation Manager will recommend a starting value based on the client's age, experience level with hearing instruments and their audiogram. If the client is a first-time user of hearing instruments, the recommended starting value will be less than 100%, where as if the client is a long-term user of hearing instruments, the recommendation will be the target fitting value, i.e. 100%.
You can always change the starting value to be either below the recommended value, or above the recommended value. In addition if you want to set the starting value to be above the target value, you can select the Power button which alters the scale to allow you to set a value above target with a maximum setting of 120%.
Recommended starting value markers
There are two persistent black markers to show the recommended starting percentage for a first time user as well as the target value of 100%. If you choose to alter the value, this means you will always have a visual indication as to the Unitron recommended values.
Note: If the current value is equal to one of these defaults, you will only see the blue marker.
Automatic acclimatization
`Automatic' acclimatization is enabled by default. This provides an automated approach to acclimatization based on the selection of an Adaptation Speed. The selected Adaptation Speed is used in a formula which, when applied to the client's starting value provides an estimated time to reach full target.
Each pre-defined Adaptation Speed equates to taking x number of days to increase the current setting by 5% (see table below). A calculation is made taking the client's remaining percent value required to reach target, dividing that by 5 (to give the number of 5% increments) and multiplying that by x (the multiplier to be applied for the selected Adaptation Speed) to provide the approximate number of days to full acclimatization.
22

Unitron TrueFit software instruction guide v5.0

Note: If Power is selected, the formula works in exactly the same way only it reduces by 5% increments until it reaches the 100% target.

The following examples explain in more detail how it works:

Calculation Formula:

Time to target = `Adaptation Speed' multiplied by (`Percentage to target' divided by `Percentage increments') 1. Adaptation Speed (AS) = x (where x represents the number of days it will take to
increase the current value by 5%) 2. Percentage to target (PTT) = Target percentage (always 100%) minus Current
percentage 3. Percentage increments (PI) = 5 (equating to 5%)

Example: Client starting at 60% of target, Percentage to target = 40%

Adaptation Speed Time to target

= `Moderate', equates to approximately 6 days per 5% change = AS x (PTT / PI) = 6 x (40 / 5) = 48 days = approximately 7 weeks

Adaptation Speed Time to target

= `Fastest', equates to 2 days per 5% change = AS x (PTT / PI) = 2 x (40 / 5) = 16 days = approximately 2 weeks

Adaptation Manager (Blu products)
The Adaptation Manager controls for Blu products are similar to Discover and Discover Next with the following differences: · The Power check box is no longer available, but you can select a starting point up
to 110% of the target value · The End value will always default to 100% but this value can be changed if
required · The starting value will be automatically calculated but this value can be changed
if required · The time for acclimatization will be automatically calculated but can manually
changed to any value from 1 to 100 days · The recommended starting percentage and target (100%) will be shown by two
persistent black markers

23

Unitron TrueFit software instruction guide v5.0
· The End value can not be > 100% · The End value can not be < the Current value · If you drag the End value below the Current value, the Automatic will be disabled and
the End value will no longer be shown · If the Current and End values are both the same then both are still shown

This option is available when the product supports this feature. The tinnitus masker noise is disabled by default. When it is enabled, the quick fit level should be at a soft but audible level. The calculated masker noise level with the current settings will be displayed in dB(A) in the task box. 1. Click the Tinnitus Masker task item at the bottom of the screen. Note: The graph view will automatically change to `output' upon selection of the tinnitus masker task box to allow you to view the tinnitus masker output level relative to the hearing aid output settings. 2. Click the Enable Tinnitus Masker check box to activate the masker noise. 3. Click the checkbox beside Use client control to adjust noise level to allow client
to adjust the noise level using any volume or SmartFocus control on the hearing instruments or accessories. Selecting this option will prevent the client from adjusting the gain or the SmartFocus setting for this program. Note: This setting is binaural and cannot differ across hearing instruments in the same fitting, even if the tinnitus masker is disabled or not available in one hearing instrument. 4. Select the frequency resolution you require for your modification using the provided tabs. Note: The frequency resolution depends on the technology level of the product you are fitting. 5. Select the frequency region(s) to be modified in the table. · To select an individual frequency region, select the desired value in the table. · An entire frequency range of fitting values can be selected by choosing the
`Noise' label.

· To select multiple frequency regions for adjustment, you can also click and drag across the table. The slider bar along the bottom of the table allows you to view frequency regions that are outside the visible table area.
· To view all frequency regions for a particular ear, and/or increase the size of the selectable boxes in the table, click on the View right ear only or View left ear only text as appropriate. To change the table view back to a binaural view, click on the text View both ears.
· Once you have selected your desired frequency region for adjustment, click the dB drop-down menu to alter the step size of any change. Choose from 1, 2 or 3 dB.
· Click the + or ­ buttons to apply the desired change. Note: When a fitting handle has reached its maximum setting, the + button will grey out (disable). Conversely, if a fitting handle is at its minimum setting, the ­ button will grey out (disable). Note: The alerts tab will highlight once the generated masker noise setting reaches a value of 80 dB(A) or greater to indicate that care should be taken when exposing the client to continued noise at this level to avoid an adverse impact on hearing. A recommended daily usage time based on NIOSH standards (http://www.cdc.gov/ niosh/docs/98-126/) will also be indicated considering the current masker noise level and updated as the noise level is adjusted. The noise level settings will be limited such that the generated noise never exceeds a level of 85 dB(A), assuming at least 8 hours of use / day to address concerns regarding the impact of continued noise exposure on hearing sensitivity from NIOSH guidelines. Note: The tinnitus masker settings are global for the Automatic Program (SoundNav/ Integra OS), so they will be the same in all Automatic Program (SoundNav / Integra OS) environments, but the settings can vary across manual programs.
Remote adjust
Remote adjust provides the ability to remotely deliver a fitting adjustment to your client without the need for an in-person fitting. Adjustments are easy to make via the remote adjust workflow and are sent directly to the client via the Remote Plus app. You can send multiple adjustments to the client, who can easily switch between the different adjustments via the app. On detecting the hearing instruments during a follow up appointment, the Remote Adjust toolbox will show the current adjustment settings applied on the hearing instruments. See the remote adjust guide under the Help/Instruction Guides menu option for more detail.

Section 1 ­ Binaural adjustments only
Microphone Mode
The Microphone Mode slider is used to set the directional strength which increases as you move the slider from left to right. The system will automatically select an initial microphone mode based on the fitting. The value of the selected microphone mode will change on moving the slider and the vertical markers on the slider show the points of the other available microphone modes. Similar to previous platforms, the selectable values are Omni, Pinna, Spatial Awareness, Fixed Wide Directional, Fixed Wide, and Adaptive Directional. However, different to previous platforms, each value on the slider represents a specific strength, i.e. the slider is a continuous scale, so that any position in between the two markers represents a continuous change in the directional strength.
A visual is displayed at the right of the slider providing an approximate visual view of the directional strength for each setting.
When selecting the Integra OS program, the label of the slider will change to be `Max Microphone Mode' and you can change the value of the slider to select the maximum directional strength that will be applied across any of the potential blendings of the underlying Integra OS environments, i.e. Fixed Wide Directional, Fixed Wide and Adaptive Directional.
For all other Manual or Optional App programs that support the microphone mode, the selected slider value represents the fixed value of microphone mode for that specific program.
33

Unitron TrueFit software instruction guide v5.0
For programs that offer mixed inputs (e.g., Telecoil + Microphone, Audio Streaming + Mic, Direct Audio Input + Mic), the Microphone Mode slider will be hidden. See section `Input source and Attenuation' in Section 3 below for details on mic configuration options for these programs.
AutoFocus 360, AutoFocus and Dynamic Noise Reduction AutoFocus is available with technology level 7 products and AutoFocus 360 is available with technology level 9 products, and the default value is always `enabled'. Note: these controls are only available in binaural fittings. The controls for Dynamic Noise Reduction and Microphone Mode are mutually exclusive and only one will ever be enabled at any given time. AutoFocus 360/AutoFocus = `On' · Dynamic Noise Reduction slider is enabled · Microphone Mode slider is disabled AutoFocus 360/AutoFocus = "Off" · Dynamic Noise Reduction slider is disabled · Microphone Mode slider is enabled If AutoFocus 360/AutoFocus is enabled, in quieter listening environments, the microphone mode will be set to Spatial Awareness, but in complex listening environments the system will take over steering of the directional beamformer, determine the direction from which speech is coming and focus accordingly. In complex listening environments where speech is from the front, the Dynamic Noise Reduction slider can be used to adjust the amount of spatial cancellation being applied to minimize noise from the rear to improve the overall SNR.
Speech Enhancement and Noise Reduction sliders Speech Enhancement slider will automatically select an initial recommended level based on the fitting and allows you to set the maximum level of speech enhancement that can be applied in each program up to a maximum of 6 dB. The scale always shows a maximum of 6 dB, but the maximum selectable value differs per technology level, and for lower technology levels the upper range of the slider will be greyed out as appropriate. Integra OS ­ the selected value will be the maximum applied across any of the potential blendings of the underlying Integra OS environments. Media ­ the selected value will be the maximum applied across both Media environments i.e. Media Speech and Media Music. Manual, Wireless or Optional App programs - the selected value represents the maximum speech enhancement that can be applied for that specific program. Car with Speech ­ has an asymmetric configuration applied to a binaural set of Hearing Instruments. The speech enhancement will be configurable for the `listening side' ear (i.e. the ear facing the driver or the passenger) but will always be set to zero for the `nonlistening ear' (i.e. the ear facing the window). Noise Reduction slider will automatically select an initial recommended level based on the fitting and allows you to set the maximum level of noise reduction that can
34

Unitron TrueFit software instruction guide v5.0
be applied in each program up to a maximum of 10 dB. The scale always shows a maximum of 10 dB, but the upper selectable value differs per technology level, and for lower technology levels the upper range of the slider will be greyed out as appropriate. Integra OS ­ the selected value will be the maximum applied across any of the potential blendings of the underlying Integra OS environments. The one exception is the music environment, where the value will always be 0 dB. Media ­ the selected value will be the maximum applied across Media Speech only. The value for Media Music is always 0 dB, regardless of the NC slider setting Manual, Wireless or Optional App programs ­ the slider control selected represents the maximum noise reduction that can be applied for that specific program.
Shared controls
If the client uses the Remote Plus app, they will have the ability to make persistent changes in any Manual programs you have added to the fitting, or any Optional App programs that they may have added themselves via the app. In a follow up fitting any changes made by the client will be reflected in Unitron TrueFit and you will be able to alter these as required. The client can alter the following parameters: · Microphone Mode ­ the client will only ever see one slider in the app which
will correspond to either the Microphone Mode control, or the Dynamic Noise Reduction control (if AutoFocus 360/AutoFocus is available and enabled in Unitron TrueFit) · Speech Enhancement · Noise Reduction The client does not have the ability to make any persistent changes in the Integra OS program.
Section 2 ­ Binuaral or monaural
Wind Control, AntiShock 2 and Phase Canceller For each of these controls, the slider is used to set the value, the strength of which increases as you move the slider from left to right. The system will automatically select an initial value based on the fitting. The points on these sliders range from 0 to 10, where the strength of the control increases as you move from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 10. On hover over/drag, four vertical markers show on the slider to indicate points that equate to the values that were selectable for these controls in DX and earlier platforms, i.e. 0 = Off, 3 = Mild, 7 = Mod and 10 = Max. Different to previous platforms, each value on the slider represents a specific strength, i.e. the slider is a continuous scale, so that any position in between the markers represents a change in the strength of the control.
Section 3 ­ Program specific parameters
Any adaptive parameters which are not applicable to ALL programs are listed in this section including the programs where they apply. The controls will be displayed when applicable and configurable for the selected program.
35

Unitron TrueFit software instruction guide v5.0

Speech Direction This configuration option applies to the Car with Speech program only. Use the Speech Direction control to select if the user's preferred role is that of a driver or a passenger.
36

Unitron TrueFit software instruction guide v5.0
Speech direction can be either `Speech from Right' or `Speech From Left' based on whether the client is the driver or a passenger. In either case, the direction of speech always comes from the interior side of the vehicle as opposed to the external (window) side of the vehicle. The speech direction for the driver will always be opposite the setting for the passenger, i.e. if driver is `Speech From Right', passenger will be `Speech From Left', and vice versa. The assignment of speech direction side is derived from the side of the road that cars drive on in the country selected at time of Unitron TrueFit installation. For example the speech direction options will be as follows: If driving on the left side of the road (e.g. selected United Kingdom on installation) · Driver (Speech From Left) · Passenger (Speech From Right) If driving on the right side of the road (e.g. selected United States (USA) on installation) · Driver (Speech From Right) · Passenger (Speech From Left) The microphone mode parameters for the Car with Speech program are fixed as follows: · Ear focusing on speech ­ Omni · Ear not focusing on speech ­ Adaptive Directional

the test appears above the graph (complete, incomplete, not run). In cases where the environment may have impacted the test (e.g., excess noise present), the final results include a combination of measured values and predicted feedback threshold values. The status then indicates Incomplete. Repeating the test will replace any predicted values with measured values if they can be reliably obtained in the current test environment. Once the feedback test is completed, the hearing instrument's gain is limited as shown on the graph where: · Black line = feedback threshold · Grey line = hearing instrument gain limit · Green line = target gain for 50 dB pure tone input · Red or Blue line = aided gain for 50 dB pure tone input Note: If desired, the feedback test can be deleted using the Delete icon above the graph for the device / ear in question. Note: The phase canceller is enabled prior to running the feedback optimization test and the quick fit will be limited to the predicted maximum stable gain. Following the feedback test, the device is automatically quick fitted up to the desired adaptation manager level setting, but not beyond the measured maximum stable gain curve. Note: For some products, after running the feedback optimization test the gain limit of the hearing instrument can be increased by up to 5 dB by clicking the checkbox under the graph for that instrument.
Automatic REM
