To meet the
Joint Committee on Infant Hearing's (2000) goals of identifying hearing loss by
three months of age and fitting appropriate amplification within a month of
diagnosis, audiologists must have the appropriate knowledge and expertise. This
telephone seminar presents a case study demonstrating the use of real ear
measures critical for ensuring appropriate hearing aid fitting. Participants are
introduced to frequency compression/transposition (FC) devices that allow
fitting for a broad variety of hearing loss configurations. Included is an
overview of the selection of hearing aid technologies, and features for the
pediatric population.
