Affinity 2.0: A Complete and Evolving Audiology Solution
The Affinity 2.0 is a modular system designed to meet the needs of audiologists and hearing care professionals. This device combines essential tools such as audiometry, real-ear measurements (REM), hearing instrument testing (HIT), and visible speech mapping (VSP), enabling precise analysis and fitting of hearing aids.
With its open and flexible architecture, the Affinity 2.0 is fully customizable. It allows the integration of different modules to cater to the specific requirements of each clinic or hearing care center. The system is controlled via a PC, offering an intuitive software interface that simplifies test execution, result analysis, and patient record management.
One of the key strengths of the Affinity 2.0 lies in its ability to evolve. With the emergence of new audiology technologies and techniques, the software and modules of the Affinity 2.0 can be updated to stay at the forefront of innovation. Additionally, its compatibility with Noah and OtoAccess™ databases facilitates seamless integration of patient records and information sharing among professionals.
The AC440 module allows for comprehensive audiometric testing, including tonal and speech audiometry, as well as advanced assessments like QuickSIN™, which evaluates a patient’s ability to understand speech in noisy environments. The ability to display historical test sessions enables comparative analysis and in-depth patient monitoring.
Real-ear measurements (REM440) are essential for optimal hearing aid fitting. The Affinity 2.0 objectively quantifies the amplification perceived by the patient through binaural measurements and the On-Top mode, which overlays results onto hearing aid manufacturer software. The system also includes real-world noise simulations to test devices under various conditions.
The Visible Speech Mapping (VSP440) module is a powerful counseling and educational tool. It displays, in real-time, the response of hearing aids to sound stimuli, helping patients and their families better understand the benefits of hearing aids.
Finally, the Hearing Instrument Testing (HIT440) module verifies the technical compliance of hearing aids, including bone-anchored hearing systems. With an integrated test chamber and sequences compliant with ANSI and IEC standards, the Affinity 2.0 ensures reliable and reproducible measurements.
With its intuitive interface, seamless integration with other Interacoustics equipment, and compatibility with electronic medical records, the Affinity 2.0 is the ideal solution for audiologists looking to enhance the accuracy of their tests and improve the patient experience.
