Abstract:
In an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a hearing aid device is tethered to a selector module via a cable. A keypad of the selector is pressed to program the hearing aid device with a particular acoustical format. More specifically, a command generated by the selector module is received at the hearing aid test unit to program a corresponding acoustical format. Consequently, a hearing impaired patient can reprogram the hearing aid device to compare which of multiple formats provides an optimal response for use.
