FONIX NOAH Real-ear Module v2.12

We are pleased to announce the release of v2.12 software for the FONIX Real-ear Module. This upgrade is a follow-up to version 2.00 that added the popular DSL 5.0 fitting formula. It consists of a collection of modest features that aren't a lot to brag about individually but add up to a very nice feature set consisting of user conveniences, better analyzer control, and more information on test results.

Get Curves

The Real-ear Module now allows you to grab previously-measured curves from your connected FONIX hearing aid analyzer. This allows you to perform measurements using the analyzer controls and grab the results with the Real-ear Module so they can be permanently saved into the NOAH database.

Target Settings

The target settings can now be sent from the Real-ear Module to a connected FONIX 7000 or FP35 hearing aid analyzer. These are settings such as the number of channels, output limiting, compression threshold, fit type, sound field position, hearing aid type, tubing, and venting. This is a great addition for users who prefer to perform measurements using the controls on the FONIX analyzer.

Curve Parameters

The curve parameters are now stored and easily accessible for each measurement curve. This includes details about the source type, RMS Out/HFA, maximum output, leveling, noise reduction and reference microphone settings, bias tone information and harmonic distortion measurements. These parameters are useful in understanding measurement outcomes.

Curve Synchronization

Real-ear Module measurements are now synchronized with the connected FONIX 7000 or FP35 hearing aid analyzer. That is, when curve 1 is measured on the Real-ear Module, the curve 1 slot is used for the measurement on the analyzer, and when curve 2 is measured with the Real-ear Module, the curve 2 slot on the analyzer is used, etc. This allows the user to view either the computer or the analyzer screen during the measurement process.

Reference Microphone

The reference microphone can now be turned on and off from the Real-ear Module. This is especially useful when performing real-ear measurements of open fit hearing aids.

On Top

Added controls to the On Top window for switching ears and printing results. This means the user doesn't have to close On Top and go back to the main test window to perform these routine actions.
