216 - Exploring the ACT™ Test: From Science to Clinical Practice in Hearing Aid Fittings
The Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT™) test is the quickest method to accurately measure a person’s ability to hear in noisy environments. Developed by the Interacoustics Research Unit, ACT™ uses a non-linguistic, contrasting stimulus to provide a personalized testing experience. The results offer objective data that directly guides hearing aid fitting by predicting aided speech-in-noise performance.
In this session, originally part of the 2024 Future of Hearing Healthcare conference, Dr. Ashley Hughes will explain the research behind the ACT™ test, demonstrate how to perform it, and interpret the results. Additionally, she will discuss how these results can inform hearing aid recommendations and setting adjustments.
For the full experience, we highly recommend watching the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/E3iGJ7JBTHw
For those interested, a Q&A on the ACT™ test can be viewed here:
