Interacoustics Eclipse
Aided Cortical test

Validation of hearing aids and cochlear implants

The Interacoustics Eclipse Aided Cortical test is an advanced method for validating the benefit of hearing aids and cochlear implants.

It is performed after the installation of hearing aids using the Interacoustics Eclipse system, ensuring that the fitted hearing aid makes speech sounds audible to the patient.

The test is ideal for infants aged 3 months to 7-8 months, and children and adults with complex needs who cannot participate in behavioral tests.

Unlike auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), which require the patient to be asleep, the Aided Cortical test is conducted while the patient is awake.


Benefits

Applicable to all ages: Aided Cortical can be used for patients of all ages, including infants, children, and adults with complex needs. It provides audibility at the cortex without relying on subjective feedback from the patient during the test.

Flexible stimulus selection: Clinicians can choose between three stimuli based on their preferences, including ManU-IRU stimuli, HD Sounds and Ling sounds.

Quick adjustment: The Sound Field Analyzer allows quick validation and adjustment of stimulus intensities, especially if the testing environment changes.

Reassurance and confidence: Aided Cortical testing validates if the patient can hear with their hearing aid or cochlear implant, provides confidence in hearing aid fitting and provides peace of mind for relatives. With Aided Cortical testing, we are bridging the gap between early fitting and behavioral testing.

Features

Stimuli Selection: Offers a variety of stimuli options, including ManU-IRU, HD-Sounds, and Ling, allowing customization based on the clinician's preferences.

Sound Field Analyzer: Enables quick validation of calibration and adjustment of stimuli intensities, especially if the testing room conditions change.

Time-Saving Optimization: Utilizes an optimized Fmpi detector by Interacoustics Research Unit (IRU), saving time during the testing process.
