The ACAM-5 is a fully integrated software and hardware system which uses fitting process through a combination of technologies and procedures including TruTarget and AccuFit.
TruTarget is Acousticon’s proprietary application of loudness scaling used to determine a patient’s own target curve for the hearing aid fitting.
AccuFit is the company’s brand of percentile analysis which helps the hearing professional fit the hearing aid in a way that the patient can hear every dynamic of very complex sound signals like human speech.
ACAM-5 allows the practitioner to accurately assess the patient’s individual psychoacoustics and hearing aid needs, not just an estimate based on the averages of other people which allows them for a fitting designed to bring the patient’s hearing as close to ‘normal’ as possible.
Acousticon CEO Robert Keefer said some users have reported that in almost 80% of cases, patients noted a perceptible improvement in their ability to understand speech even when their hearing aid was fitted using another method.
