U:fit™, Unitron Hearing’s Newest Generation of Fitting Software, Delivers Simplicity

May 16 2006 – Kitchener, Ontario – Unitron Hearing Australia today announced the introduction of its newest generation of fitting software, U:fit™. Developed with the future in mind, U:fit builds on the advantages of Unitron Hearing’s Unifit™ fitting software. New enhancements make successful fittings easier than ever. Simplified navigation ensures fitters are always one click away from home and one click away from every feature and control. U:fit’s workflow-oriented approach also ensures client-centered fittings guide hearing healthcare professionals through proven workflow patterns.

U:fit simplifies the fitting of an automatic hearing instrument, and supports Indigo™, Unitron Hearing’s new premium automatic hearing instrument, that delivers brilliant, true-to-life sound across multiple listening environments. (For more information on Indigo, see our Indigo press release). U:fit gives fitters flexibility to tailor the adaptive strategy within each of Indigo’s four sound destinations to achieve desired audiological goals. Fitters can simply quick-fit based on industry-established fitting formulas and wearer validated default settings for their client’s hearing loss and actual listening environments. U:fit also offers the choice to make further individual refinements if necessary, and to customize the automatic and manual programs.

Actual wearer data improves fine-tuning results

U:fit incorporates unique support functions and customization so hearing healthcare professionals can best meet their clients’ needs. U:fit offers full access to all of Indigo’s sophisticated features including advanced data logging technology. Data logging delivers detailed, real-world usage information helping fitters make more accurate adjustments and offer more targeted and effective client counseling. With data logging technology, hearing healthcare professionals can respond quickly to clients’ observations, resulting in more successful fittings and improved customer satisfaction.

U:fit is the platform for all future Unitron Hearing products released after May 2006 including Indigo. U:fit is available in both Noah and Standalone versions. Unitron Hearing continues to support Unifit 5.51 and its earlier versions. For more information on U:fit, contact your local sales representative.
