• Key Features:

Enlarge View		NEW Live Integrated Real Ear Measurement* Starkey was the first company to integrate real-ear measurement into a hearing aid. Now Live Real Ear Measurement in S Series takes this capability to the next level. With this system and the power of Inspire fitting software, hearing care professionals can watch the hearing aid output in a patient's ear, live in real-ear SPL, while the system evaluates the hearing aid response and matches to your selected target — providing you with the most precise fitting information available.
Enlarge View		NEW Live 3D Speech Mapping Live Speech Mapping allows you to illustrate to your patient how the hearing aid is processing speech or any other input in real time and displays it for easy understanding and verification of performance.
Enlarge View		NEW Lifestyle Assessment The Lifestyle Assessment is a new tool to help you interact with patients to understand the acoustic environments they are in regularly, allowing you to recommend the ideal technology level for their unique lifestyles.
Enlarge View		Hearing Loss Simulator Let patients and their loved ones experience the impact hearing loss can have by giving a live demonstration with our Hearing Loss Simulator. And with the new drawing tools features, you can draw on screen to provide additional patient counseling.
Enlarge View		Surround Town™ Surround Town continues to be the most breakthrough audio simulator of its time and gives your patients a full understanding of real-world listening environments and challenges.
Enlarge View		Auto Path Auto Path is an automatic function that provides the most efficient, reliable and prescriptively appropriate initial fit in the industry. You won't even need to detect the new device — Inspire does it for you.
e-STAT At Starkey, we understand the delicate balance of maximizing speech audibility while maintaining listening comfort. By analyzing thousands of successful and unsuccessful hearing aids, we were able to arrive at an evidence-based fitting formula solution called e-STAT, which provides your patients with optimal access to speech cues, improving speech understanding while creating comfortable listening levels for all-day use.

• Additional Features:

• Target Match/Best Fit

  The Best Fit algorithm optimally adjusts all hearing device parameters to best approximate the targets for the selected fitting formula. Best Fit also sets the adaptive features according to the patient's hearing thresholds when the feature is available for a particular circuit. Target Match is a derivative of Best Fit where bands, channels, output and threshold kneepoints are modified to match the prescriptive targets. Both Target Match and Best Fit can be applied to a single memory or all memories with the click of a button.
