We’re excited to introduce Interacoustics’ newest advancement: the Aided Cortical module for the Eclipse evoked potential system.
This tool brings an added level of confidence to hearing care professionals, delivering objective validation for hearing aids and cochlear implants in patients who cannot actively participate in traditional tests, such as infants, young children, and patients with complex needs.
The Aided Cortical module addresses a critical gap in validation testing for infants aged 3 to 7 months—too old for auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing yet too young for visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA).
Benefits of the Eclipse Aided Cortical Module
Reassurance for Families: Provide parents and caregivers with confidence that the patient’s hearing device delivers real benefits. Make informed adjustments to device settings as needed for optimal support.
Efficient and Accurate: The speech-like ManU-IRU stimuli and objective response detector offer a fast, precise tool that empowers you to make confident clinical decisions.
Optimized Hearing Outcomes: Ensure the fitting journey is complete for infants and complex-needs patients by objectively validating that the hearing device makes speech sounds audible.
With the Eclipse Aided Cortical module, you can now offer peace of mind to parents and caregivers, showing them how their child beneifts from their hearing device. Clinicians can focus on delivering better outcomes with more reliable data than ever before.
What is Aided Cortical Testing?
Aided cortical testing is a form of objective hearing assessment used to determine how well a patient's brain detects and processes sounds, specifically through their hearing aid or cochlear implant.
Unlike traditional hearing tests, which require active participation (such as raising a hand when a sound is heard), aided cortical testing measures the brain’s automatic response to sound, making it especially useful for patients who cannot provide reliable behavioral responses, such as infants and individuals with disabilities.
This test presents speech-like sounds or tones to the patient through their hearing device, then recording the brain’s response to these stimuli using electrodes placed on the scalp. The resulting "cortical auditory evoked potentials" (CAEPs) reveal whether the hearing device effectively transmits sounds to the brain, verifying that the patient is likely perceiving speech sounds.
