AUDECOM - General Information

The AUDECOM offers a comparative auditory system adjustment in an objective/oriented

manner in real time and thereby makes your work more effective and more seamless:

An intelligent, software-supported customer dialogue will guide you through the ad-

justment and toward a quicker decision on the performance class desired by the

customer.

The customer will directly hear the different between up to three hearing aid types. To

do this, it is necessary to switch between the auditory systems by pushing a button

He can thereby decide more clearly what is useful to him and make some clear spe-

ciﬁcations to the acoustician.

The customer - AND NOT THE ACOUSTICIAN - changes between the models and

can thereby recognise more quickly which auditory system he really prefers and is

useful to him in his daily routine.

Sound samples are supplied by surround sound and make it possible to implement,

rate and assess qualitative differences in wind noise suppression, verbal reproducti-

on, music reproduction or adjustment characteristics.

With this basis, the customer and the acoustician can usually decide in one sitting

which of the compared systems are actually worn and can best be gradually further

adapted.

General information

Safety instructions

The purpose of the AUDECOM is intended to present the differences bet-

ween various systems to the customer live in a convenient, and most im-

portant, comfortable manner, based on sound samples with the comparative

adjustment of auditory systems.

All other purposes of the device and the accompanying controller that do not

meet this purpose are contrary to purpose and are therefore not permitted.

The following safety notices are to be noted when operating the device:

Attention! If you or the person accompanying the user move in the

room, ensure that the headphones are put down or when

the device is removed, the cable length of the headphone

should be taken into account. Disconnection the AUDE-

COM by the headphone cable or yanking on the cable/

headphones must be avoided because damages can

occur.

Attention! Under no circumstances should the AUDECOM come

into contact with ultrasound baths, running water and

chemical cleaners, e.g. diluters, alcohol etc. It could be

damaged or destroyed.

Attention! Do not remove the cable (power, headphones, USB con-

nection) from the device. The cables could be damaged

and the device moved and even pulled off the table. Hold

the device carefully with one hand. Grasp the respective

connectors with the other and carefully remove it from the

device.

Attention! Only use the AUDECOM in dry rooms and protect it -

from wetness and dampness - both when working and in

a deactivated state. You or third parties can be injured.

In addition, the device could be sustainably and heavily

damaged.

Attention! Only use the supplied power supply to operate the de-

vice. It was especially developed for the AUDECOM.

Safety instructions

Attention! Under no circumstances should you open the device

housing. You or third parties can be injured. In addition,

the device could be sustainably and heavily damaged.

When the device is opened, all liability and warranty pro-

tections become invalid.

Attention! Only disconnect the deactivated AUDECOM from the

mains supply by pulling the power supply from the so-

cket. First remove the power cable from the device.

Attention! During training, only use the supplemental devices, which

are recommended to you by MediTECH.

Note: Do not lift the base on the support arms for the loudspea-

kers. The system could be damaged.

Note: Use the device and the base made of Plexiglas® Not as

a storage space. Do not put stress on the support arms

Do not bend the arms. Damages to the housing and

the base cannot be repaired and do not fall under the

warranty.

te these safety regulations and the instructions in this

document

Please note the Usage Manual before use!

Safety instructions

Installation and commissioning

In this chapter, you will learn how to install the AUDECOM and the software

and which test room situation you need to follow.

Select an area

Select a quiet room with as view noises as possible for the adjustment. The

room should allow the following setting:

The room should be large enough so that you or the person accom-

panying the customer can freely move in the room in order to offer

communication from different directions.

Position the device on a table which is as free as possible on all sides.

The customer should only sit in front of the device in such a way that

he can operate the keys comfortably and can see the mini-lamps next

to the auditory systems. They means that he can easily recognise bet-

ween which auditory systems he can toggle and currently hears “in his

ear”. This makes it easier to note his impressions and comments on an

assessment form. He should have sufﬁcient room for this.

You are sitting behind the AUDECOM, i.e. on the side in which the

headphones are connected and their volumes can be adjusted.

On the table, there must be enough room for a monitor and a compu-

ter keyboard with a mouse. The recommended setting is a computer /

laptop with an additional monitor so that you have access to the Expert

view and the customer has access to the Customer view on separate

monitors.

Installation and commissioning

Connecting the AUDECOM

The AUDECOM system is designed in such a way that it can always be in-

stalled as an operating unit. Thus, no new installation is generally required.

1. Insert the small USB connector of the supplied power supply into the

socket provided onto the back of the device.

2. Insert the plug of the power supply unit into a regular 230V mains socket.

3. Insert the small USB connector of the supplied USB cable into the

socket provided onto the back of the device.

4. Insert the large USB cable connector into a free USB port on the

computer.

5. If this does not occur, connect the acoustic shadow (Plexiglas® head) to

the bolts on the top of the AUDECOM.

Note: Plexiglas®distorts the visual impression. Get behind the device and

place the acoustic shadow vertically onto the bolts. Please note the

direction: The “nose” of the acoustic shadow must point in your direction,

i.e. to the side to which the headphones were connected and the volume

has to be changed.

6. Equip the auditory system connection jacks each with a

silicone hose - matching the auditory systems which you

will use (HDO or RIC).

7. Activate the ﬁve loudspeakers. To do this, push the sli-

der located on each loudspeaker to the ON position. On

the silver back, an LED with the colour meaning indicated

below will be illuminated.

Tip: Hold on to the loudspeaker with one hand

and press the key with the other hand. You

can thereby prevent the loudspeaker from

getting loose from its ground attachment.

Setting and adjustment

In this chapter you will learn how you can optimally prepare and implement

the session for an auditory system comparison.

Prepare the adjustment as follows:

Prepare the adjustment as follows::

Before the customer arrives ...

1. Start theAUDECOM on the computer. If this is not installed on your com-

puter, follow the steps in the chapter Installing Software.

2. On the start screen, click on the manufacturer logo. You can use its au-

ditory systems for the next comparative adjustment.

3. Switch on the AUDECOM.

To do this, turn the switch on the left (headphone side) to the left.

The operating LED’s are illuminated in blue to display the status.

The computer will attempt to establish a connection to the AUDE-

COM. If it was possible to establish a connection, the connection

LED is illuminated in green.

The loudspeakers automatically increase the volume to the maxi-

mum to always offer a consistent initial output volume. This process

takes approximately 10 seconds so that a volume change is completely

normal during this time.

Tip: In order to save power, you can switch off the loudspeakers if you will

not use them for the foreseeable future. Do not forget to turn off the lou-

dspeaker when you conclude a session with the AUDECOM. In order to

test whether the loudspeakers are connected, please note the following
