In general, mold modifications are as follows: - Venting affects lows, damping the midrange and horn effects boost highs. Basic verification involves: - checking MCL and UCL in quiet and noise. Sound field is - a controlled environment The configuration and height of the tympanogram can be a factor in deciding the proper matrix for the fitting of a hearing aid: - A high Type A tells us to decrease the output by 2-3 dB You cannot use feedback checks when - checking the telephone coil ...
