In Norwood MA, Audiologist Beth S Levine, shares her success in fitting the ReSound Vivia 960s
Week One - put them in the charger at night and put them in your ears in the morning.
Understanding How the ReSound Vivia 960s uses AI and a Deep Neural Network is necessary for a successful first fitting. Why I don't pair the aids to the Smart 3D app until we establish a clinical baseline. The default All Around program continuously scans your entire 360 degree environment and instantly recognizes what is human speech and what is distracting background noise. Once the DNN recognizes the environment it instantly applies micro adjustments. It activates beamforming microphones by focusing on the speaker while getting rid of background noise. Oftentimes we choose an onboarding algorithm for first time users to gradually ramp up patients to a preferred target gain. We never want to shock a patient who has never heard noises that they think are overwhelming. The sophisticated computer chip built directly into the device is designed to optimize your hearing automatically close to hundreds of times per second. The hearing aids do all the work to prepare for the weeks and months to come.
