8. Software Support
8.1 ADROCOM
The ADROCOM library provides a simple application programmer's interface for
controlling and programming Advanta with proprietary fitting software. The
ADROCOM library is a win32 dynamic link library (DLL). The ADROCOM library
provides the functionality required to measure audio levels through the hearing aid,
and fine-tune the hearing aid fitting.This library also provides a communications
interface to the hearing aid to facilitate lower level functions such as connection,
device verification, reading and writing to both volatile and non-volatile memory,
and being able to stop, start and mute the hearing aid during a fitting session.
8.2 Advanta CalConfig
ADRO algorithm requires calibration of the Advanta hearing instrument before
using it with any fitting software. The calibration will adjust the gain and the
maximum output level of the instrument so the gain and the maximum output
frequency response curves are flat, within specified tolerance, across the
frequency spectrum. The calibration is done by Gennum's Advanta CalConfig
program.
For more information on Advanta CalConfig Program refer to "Getting Started with
Advanta Digital" information note, document 36478.
8.3 Configure
The Configure fitting software is a a turn-key ADRO fitting solution for Advanta.
Configure uses the ADROCOM library to interface with the hearing aid and provide
initial fitting predictions.
Configure features a stand-alone database, which stores each client's
demographic details, all fitting details and enables access to past fitting sessions.
Configure guides the clinician through an intuitive fitting procedure which achieves
fast and effective fittings in as few as four steps; balancing comfort levels, adjusting
the volume of the hearing aid, fine-tuning the hearing aid, and programming.
Three programs are saved to the hearing aid when using Configure. The clinician
is able to select the microphone configuration in each memory, as well the settings
of feedback cancellation and internal noise reduction. Fine-tuning adjustments are
always made to the first program and are automatically incorporated into the
second and third program.
