Live speech mapping
Live Speech Mapping - See How you
Hear, shows exactly which parts of every day speech you are
struggling to hear.
Live speech mapping is the latest innovative approach to hearing
aid fitting which uses natural speech to assess a hearing loss. It
is also used to show how effective digital hearing aids are in
helping you to hear speech with more clarity.
Leightons fully qualified hearing aid audiologists use Live
Speech Mapping as part of the Full Hearing Assessment. It's
always recommended that you are accompanied during the Hearing
Assessment, as with Live Speech Mapping a family member will be
asked to participate by providing a familiar voice from which we
create the Live Speech Map.
The Live Speech Map is presented as a simple graphic on a
computer screen. This helps to provide a clear "visual" sense of
the hearing
loss, and the benefits or perhaps the limitations that hearing
aids offer in relation to actual speech.
Leightons are confident that using Live Speech Mapping
demonstrations enables current hearing aid wearers
to gain a better insight into exactly how their hearing aids are
performing. Leightons experienced team are on hand to provide
expert advice and help adjust digital hearing aids to suit the
wearer's requirements as revealed in the Live Speech Map.
