THE OTICON AGIL SUCCESS MANUAL
The Complete Guide to Fitting Oticon Agil using Genie 2010.1
Fitting Oticon Agil instruments is easy
and full of possibilities
Reading this manual
Genie 2010.1 or a later version must be used to program
Oticon Agil instruments.
The broad range of versatile hearing solutions comprises
instant fittings and customized options across virtually all
known styles for most common hearing losses. All is described
in this manual.
The first sections take you through the selection, handling and
configuration of instruments, Receivers and earpieces. These
are important matters to consider in order to provide the best
possible care and make a successful fitting.
For RITE and miniRITE solutions, these first product oriented
sections are especially relevant. MiniRITE and RITE instruments
can be programmed with 3 different Receivers; expanding the
possibilities and granting the flexibility to meet client needs.
When information is specific to the RITE Power solution, it is
noted by a blue header.
The next section takes you through the instrument
programming step by step.
Alternatively to the standard programming process,
a “Quick Fit” flow can be selected in Genie. If selecting “Quick
Fit”, the programming section in this manual is only advisory.
The “Quick Fit” programming is a fast track taking you through
the most basic top level settings.
The programming section also includes a description of how
the ConnectLine applications are programmed, and later the
ConnectLine concept is explained.
The last section of this manual covers miscellaneous service
instructions and guidelines relevant to the various instrument
styles.
This manual is made to help you achieve success with
the Oticon Agil family.
Enjoy.

Fitting rationales
Oticon Agil’s proprietary Voice Aligned Compression (VAC)
implements curvilinear compression comprising multiple
kneepoints to ensure a smooth frequency response at all
input levels.
This is prescribed for adults.
For kids, Oticon Agil instruments are prescribed with the
DSL v5.0a rationale.
NAL NL1 and DSL v5.0a rationales can be used as optional
prescriptions for any user.
Introducing the Oticon Agil family
Oticon Agil is the premium hearing solution. Oticon Agil uses
the full potential of the RISE platform and delivers state of the
art performance.
The end user benefits with Oticon Agil is better understanding
AND more energy to function in all aspects of life.
The Oticon Agil family comprises a full range
of instruments
— CIC and CIC Power instruments
— ITC and ITE instruments
— miniRITE and RITE instruments with Power options
— BTE instruments with Corda as option
— dedicated compact BTE Power instruments.
Oticon Agil is designed with a new and powerful signal
processing kernel with a unique ability to preserve speech
dynamics in any listening environment. With Spatial Sound 2
and Speech Guard, users can hear more naturally and under-
stand a lot more while preserving mental energy. Spatial
Sound 2 is the result of a range of features working in parallel
helping users to organize the world of sounds and making
sound sources appear as in real life. Speech Guard works to
maintain signal fidelity within the dynamic range of speech
and improves the ability to follow speech, even in complex
environments.
Flexible Receiver system
With miniRITE and RITE instruments, a new flexible Receiver
system is introduced and allows configuring these instruments
to gradually become more powerful. The system builds on
three different types of Receivers (S, M and P) thereby creat-
ing three different output levels from the same instrument
style.
CAUTION: It is critical that the Receiver selected in the pro-
gramming step is the one attached to the actual instrument.
If not, the output level of the instrument will not match the
programmed settings and may cause damage to the client’s
hearing.

Customising the miniRITE and RITE
To get the best performance, best cosmetics
and most comfortable fit consider the following:
• Determine whether the miniRITE or RITE is the best
style solution based on features (T-coil, FM option, etc.),
handling and cosmetics
• Select correct Receiver specifications including power
and unit length
• Select correct dome size or whether a custom mould is
needed
• Ensure proper insertion of the Receiver in the canal when
placing the instrument on the ear
• Using the ear grip for retention, if necessary

Selecting Receiver Unit Lengths
Five Receiver lengths are available for Standard, Medium
and Power Receivers. No. 1 is the shortest and No. 5 is the
longest. The lengths most commonly used are size 2 and 3.
Standard and Medium
The Power Adapter is attached to the Power Receiver
and is used when domes are preferred.

Receiver markings

Where to find Receiver markings
The Receiver has a small blue/red band to indicate which
ear the device is programmed for.
Receiver type
The Receiver length is marked as
shown 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
The power specifications is shown
by a coloured circle and S, M or P.
SMP
The power specification is selected in Genie in
the Selection Step. When the mini RITE or RITE is
selected, a pull down menu appears so the fitter
can assign the proper Receiver to the instrument.
Power Receivers are marked with a black circle and a white P.
The L/R markings are on the other side. These markings are
visible when the Adapter is attached.

Measuring the ear for correct
Receiver length
When fitting a NON Power Receiver the correct measurement
corresponds to the top of the ear canal as shown using the
measuring tool. The measurement is the same for all domes
and non power custom earpieces.
The goal is for the Receiver to sit comfortably and be
hidden in the ear canal, and for the wire to be flush with
the skin.
Power Custom Mould
When fitting a Power Receiver with a Power Custom Mould,
(Power Moulds) select the next size up as the Receiver fits
more centered in the ear canal.
For example if a # 2 Receiver is measured order a # 3.
For Power Domes measure the same way as for Standard
Receivers.

Insert the Receiver into the shell until it snaps into place.

Replacing the Receiver Unit Attaching the Ear Grip
The best way to replace the Receiver is by using the Multi tool
with the dedicated extension point. The extension point is
placed on the screwdriver tip.
Press the Receiver locking lever through the hole to release
the Receiver unit and gently pull the Receiver unit out.
The Ear Grip can be used for better Receiver retention when
using the “ S” or “M” Receiver. The Ear Grip is designed to work
for either the right or left ear. Insert the Ear Grip in the slot in
the Receiver.
18 OTICON AGIL FITTING GUIDE 19
Use a finger nail to dislodge the ear grip and push from
the other side.
1. Insert the earpiece into the ear canal.
2. Place the hearing device behind the ear. The Receiver unit
with the correct earpiece should be placed far enough into
the canal so that the wire lies flush with the client’s head.
When looking at the client face to face you should not see
the Receiver wire sticking out.
3. If necessary add the ear grip for extra retention.
If the ear grip is too long in the concha it may be trimmed.
Use caution not to leave a pointy end as this may irritate
the ear.
Pull the ear grip until its top is positioned
in the slot. During insertion, the top should
point away from the dome as illustrated.
