Aided Cortical Module
for the Interacoustics Eclipse
Aided benefit made clear
Traditional hearing testing is not possible in infants and in patients with complex needs, leaving a big question mark on the benefit of a fitted hearing device. Until now.
The Aided Cortical module for the Eclipse offers an objective method to validate the benefit of a fitted hearing aid or cochlear implant in patients who cannot subjectively respond to a hearing test.
Feel confident in your hearing device fitting
The aided cortical test is based on electrophysiological cortical responses and will allow you to evaluate whether the patient perceives speech-like stimuli. With the included sound field analysis feature, you can quickly check your sound environment and adjust the stimulus presentation accordingly.
Reassuring
Use the aided cortical test to reassure parents or other relatives that the patient benefits from the hearing device and make informed adjustments to the hearing device settings if needed.
Straightforward
With the speech-like ManU-IRU stimuli and objective response detector, you get a quick and accurate tool that provides the control you need to make the right clinical decisions.
Optimized hearing outcome
Complete the fitting journey for infants and complex-needs patients by objectively validating that the hearing device fitting makes speech sounds audible.
"We have found the new aided cortical protocol software to be very user friendly with nice clear responses displayed on the screen. The algorithm in the protocol is extremely helpful and appears very accurate when analysing traces whilst still keeping the overall decision down to the clinician therefore allowing autonomy for the clinic."

A natural part of your clinical flow
By using the Eclipse platform for both the diagnostic follow-up and hearing device validation, you can easily add an important step to your clinical flow.
1. Newborn hearing screening
2. Diagnostic follow-up
3. Hearing device fitting
4. Hearing device validation
Bridging the gap in infant hearing assessment
The Aided Cortical module is ideal in infant hearing aid users aged 3 to 7 months, representing the time period classically between auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing and reliable visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) testing, where there is a need to bridge the gap in infant hearing assessment.1

Use your Eclipse for aided cortical testing
To perform aided cortical testing, you will need an Aided Cortical license for your Eclipse.
