Hi all,
I need some direction for how to fill out audiogram in Genie in area of BC and UCL. Here is my audiogram:
Here is Genie2.
I think I can fill out the AC but for the BC and UCL, I don’t understand the legend. Can any physicians and experts in this forum please give me some direction?
Thank you for your helps
AC = Air conduction X and O on chart
BC = Bone conduction
UCL = uncomfortable level
If you look at the legend on the audiometry it will show the others
I don’t know if they make a difference in the software programing of the HA’s
Maybe someone else can tell us if they do.
Thank you “mhclavery” for respond,
I understood now the legend: U (red), U (blue) means UCL
I also understood now the legend [ (red), ] (blue) means BC
Questions:
1/ what does it mean about letter U and O with arrow down (left, right)?
2/ what does that mean with the sign > and <?
3/ in the chart, the BC and UCL symbols are not continuously having value from 125 to 8k and discontinue in the line, so is it a mistake?
4/ I also want to know if I don’t fill out BC and UCL, will the Oticon More1 care?
Thank you
I have never done UCL levels in 11 years of self programming. I do enter BC levels tho for me because I have a big gap between AC and BC levels so the software needs that information. Your BC levels are near enough the same as your AC levels so I wouldn’t bother entering them tbh.
HI Zebras,
“Your BC levels are near enough the same as your AC levels so I wouldn’t bother entering them tbh” → I did not see same way as you saw them.
The red BC ([) and AC (o) had big gap and the blue BC (]) and AC (x) had big gap too. The only different on the blue was: on 2k, it disappeared which made me did not know where and how to fill in the blank for blue BC
Can anyone give me an advice please
Thank you
Right mouse button click and select No Response or Not Measurable.
Oh, maybe (No Response or Not Measurable) only works with AC, and not BC.
Oh, If you enter BC at 120 first, then you can right button click that same 120 point on the audiogram and select (No Response or Not Measurable) . HMm, I am not at all sure as to what difference it makes between (120 and No Response or Not Measurable).
Blue (left) is actually not classed as having a mixed loss. Yes your red (right) is classed as having a slight mixed loss.
This audiogram is not classed as having a mixed loss.
Well,
All, I have to thank you for your response but your answers made me even more confuses!!
(please note: I did not mean your answers were not corrected but I meant I was not at the tech level to understand your answers/recommendation right away)
I know my questions are considering $5,000.00 to $6,000.00 (if I bring my HA to audiology offices but I have no guaranty that I can get exact answer for these technical questions) but for learning purpose, can anyone shed me some light or give me any link so I can understand why my audiometry graph happed the way it was?
again here are my questions:
1/ what does it mean about letter U and O with arrow down (left, right)?
2/ what does that mean with the sign > and <? (it was BC but what’s different between [ and >? they are both BC?)
3/ in the chart, the BC and UCL symbols are not continuously having value from 125 to 8k and discontinue in the line, so is it a mistake or intention?
4/ I also want to know if I don’t fill out BC and UCL, will the Oticon More1 care? (Zebras answered he did BC because he has the gap between AC and BC, So I believed I should do it as well?)
Thank you all
This has some info on how AC/BC measurements relate to each other. Though I don’t think it answers all your questions;
Thank you PVC. Let me review that
Hi all,
I have one more question:
I finally went to visit my Audiologist and had hearing test and reprogram with Oticon More1. The right side works good (40% improve compared to Oticon OPN1); however, the left side was not working right for no matter how the Dr tried. The left side hearing sounded like broken sub woofer. “Broken” means the moving part has cone shape makes with paper was broken and torn apart then it sounded as you use the stick and beat on the metal box. The weird thing was the volume on the left was very small and suddenly went to max volume when I spoke during certain conversation. The second symptom was similar to a music band was assembling their equipment and often had obnoxiously noise on their microphone.
Question: do you know what frequency (low, mid, hight) that I can increase or decrease that I can hear me or hear someone better?
All the symptom above were happen very frequent but were not permanent so it so hard to track
Thank you for your advices
