Oticon Medical | Neuro 2 Bimodal Connectivity
If you have a Neuro system, you can combine your Neuro 2 sound processor with an Oticon hearing aid and become a bimodal user.
As a bimodal user, there are different connectivity solutions available that let you transmit sound from different devices, such as your phone or the TV, to both ears.
This guide provides an overview of the different options available for Neuro 2 using either an Oticon Dynamo or an Oticon Xceed hearing aid.
Oticon Medical | Neuro 2 Bimodal Fitting Flow
Binaural hearing is important for sound quality, spatial perception, and speech understanding. It is essential to allow the brain to perceive a full and rich soundscape. To achieve this, the inputs presented to each ear must naturally provide as many sound details as possible. This provides the foundation for the auditory system and the brain to combine the inputs and make sense of sound.
Depending on the patient’s hearing loss, a bimodal solution combining a Cochlear Implant (CI) on one ear with a hearing aid on the other ear may be the optimal solution for the patient. Optimizing the inputs on both sides is the first important step in bimodal fittings. In addition, there is a specific need to ensure that the two hearing solutions work optimally together. Therefore, a central aspect of bimodal fitting is to fine tune the hearing aid fitting to complement the CI fitting in the best possible way.
To assist with fitting, we would like to introduce this Bimodal Fitting Flow, which presents the different steps and tools available for a bimodal fitting for an Oticon Medical CI and an Oticon hearing aid – either Oticon Xceed or Oticon Dynamo. This brochure describes Oticon Medical´s present understanding of current state of the art fitting of bimodal patients. Using the Bimodal Fitting Flow, along with the dedicated bimodal fitting tool in the Oticon Genie fitting software, will support optimizing benefits for your bimodal patients.
Oticon Medical | Whitepaper Bimodal Solutions
We live in a world of sounds, an incredibly complex environment full of dynamic inputs from sources all around us. Our ability to process sounds continues to engage and challenge scientists and clinicians. Cognitive hearing science explores the physiological and mental processes we rely on to make sense of what we hear. Oticon and Oticon Medical have applied the fascinating discoveries of cognitive hearing science in the development of BrainHearing™, an evidence-based approach that supports how the brain makes sense of sound (Hoen et al. (1)). We know that our auditory system, including the brain, is an amazing machine that has been specially designed to process the world of sound through binaural channels. Individuals with untreated bilateral severe-to-profound hearing loss do not have access to much of the world of sound. Fortunately, modern cochlear implants (CI) can restore a significant amount of audibility, providing amazing benefits far beyond what is achievable with traditional acoustic amplification for most users within this group. Optimal hearing requires auditory inputs from both ears, and for most cochlear implant users this means using a bimodal solution, combining a cochlear implant on one side and a hearing aid on the other side. This paper reviews the benefits of binaural and bimodal hearing and explores how Oticon and Oticon Medical, with the principles of BrainHearing, aim to optimize hearing for bimodal users.
