Should I Apply An Air-Bone Gap Correction As Default When Fitting Air Conduction Hearing Aids?
Applying corrections for Air-Bone-Gap (ABG) when fitting air-conduction hearing aids is included in many generic and proprietary fitting prescriptions. Because prescription hearing aids are fit and verified via PC software modules, the choice of whether to apply ABG corrections is usually a default setting that may be somewhat hidden and, as a result, not often changed.
Why Is It Crucial To Measure Bone Conduction Hearing Thresholds Directly with the User’s Specific Device and Connection In Place?
Measuring bone conduction hearing thresholds in-situ with the device and connection that the user is wearing is critical for several key reasons, particularly when it comes to the prescription of amplification targets and ensuring that the hearing aid is properly calibrated to meet the user’s specific needs.
When you do REM on a CROS or BiCROS do you measure both ears, or just the better ear? My mom wears BiCROS and we are seeing her audiologist tomorrow.
There is nothing to measure for REMs in the bad ear; there’s no output there! It’s all going to the better ear.

A Case for Reducing Judgement Noise in Our Bone Conduction Fittings
In this blog article, Alex Gascon and Bill Hodgetts examine how the wide range of verification practices shapes the field of bone-conduction amplification.
Addressing Issues in Pediatric Audiology: Continuing One Legacy and Creating Her Own
Dawna Lewis looks at the ongoing development of the Desired Sensation Level (DSL) Method and how Susan and her colleagues were willing to take what Richard Seewald started and continue to gather evidence and update methods and protocols to help meet the needs of children with hearing loss.

RANTS! Some Things We Would Change—If We Could
Marshall Chasin asked a few colleagues in the industry and in the clinic to provide their thoughts (some may consider these as “rants”) about what they would change if they could. These colleagues have been practicing long enough to see many changes in technology and professional service delivery and kindly offer their perspective as to what we might change, if only we could.
