Description: Baha Fitting Software functions as a hearing and fitting software solution for in-situ threshold measurements and adjustments. The technology features several programming applications designed to assist in the fitting of bone conduction implants in patients. The software also contains a data logging dashboard that monitors the sound levels of the patient`s implant and provides insights for professionals to utilize during follow-up visits. Baha Fitting Software contains a Bluetooth wireless accessory dashboard that allows professionals to pair, un-pair, and view an overview of accessories that may have been paired to the sound processor since the last visit. Additionally, this technology can perform a feedback analysis and save the patient`s information for future reference.

This technology stores data in NOAH`s centralized database. NOAH uses a Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server database to transmit and store data. The NOAH software is where patient data is actively maintained and saved.
