Data Log
Data Log provides actual patient data collected while the patient is
wearing the hearing aid(s) in different environments. For example, time
spent per memory, battery life, user volume, self
check, directionality, environmental adaptation, etc. can
be displayed. Inspire automatically compares the information in the data
log against the current settings of the hearing aid. Based on the objective
data contained in the data log, Inspire may provide a set of recommendations
per memory in an effort to improve the performance of the specific hearing
aid. Some recommendations can be applied to the hearing aid and some suggest
counseling the patient on usage, feedback prevention, etc. Data Log can
also be used to demonstrate the usage and benefit of amplification to
the patient and their family and troubleshoot issues during follow-up
visits. An overview of the patient's data log including battery life,
average input level (dB SPL), directional usage, percent of time spent
per sound class, etc. can be printed
and filed for reference. The data log can be reset at any time. In
addition, this feature can be enabled/disabled in select products.
Data Log information can be displayed in several views and the following
describes each view. Click on any option below for more information.
- Summary
- Displays cumulative data for all memories including the average
time spent per memory, average daily use, average time streaming,
average battery life, user volume, etc.
- Self
Learning - Displays gain changes made through Self Learning
- LifeScape
Analyzer - Displays the percent of time the hearing aid's features
were engaged in each environment, the average amount of gain adaptation
that occurred per channel while each environment was active, and the
percent of time the hearing aid was in each directional setting per
memory
- Self Check
- Displays the number of Self Check Diagnostics attempted and the
Self Check Status from the last diagnostic
- Directional
- Displays the current setting (Omni, Directional, or Dynamic), the
percent of time the hearing aid was in each directional setting and
average input level (dB SPL)
- Quiet
- Displays the percent of time that expansion was occurring, the average
input level (dB SPL), and the average amount of gain adaptation that
occurred per channel while this environment was active
- Wind
- Displays the percent of time that the hearing aid(s) was in wind
noise, the average input level (dB SPL), and the average amount of
gain adaptation that occurred per channel while this environment was
active
- Machine Noise
- Displays the percent of time that the hearing aid(s) was in mechanical
noise, the average input level (dB SPL), and the average amount of
gain adaptation that occurred per channel while this environment was
active
- Speech
in Noise - Displays the percent of time that the
hearing aid(s) was in speech noise, the average input level (dB SPL),
and the average amount of gain adaptation that occurred per channel
while this environment was active
- Noise
- Displays the percent of time that the hearing aid(s) had noise management
active, the average input level (dB SPL), and the average amount of
gain adaptation that occurred per channel
Inspire automatically reads the data log contents when the hearing aid(s)
are connected and displays the data when the views are selected. The date
range for which the data has been collected displays for each ear side.
Data Log is available on all products except
Xino
Classic 20, Zōn.1, Destiny 200, and Destiny RICs and
some views are only applicable for select products only. In addition,
when fitting binaurally, if the two hearing aids contain different circuits
or are from different product families, the data cannot be displayed binaurally.
