How Dr. Gosu Tailors the new Phonak Infinio to Your Unique Needs

Introducing the Phonak Infinio, a groundbreaking leap in hearing aid technology that redefines speech clarity, connectivity, and the overall auditory experience. Equipped with dual-chip architecture, AutoSense OS 6.0, and Spheric Speech Clarity, the Infinio platform sets an unparalleled benchmark in hearing aid performance. Yet, even the most advanced hearing aids rely on expert fitting and personalization to unleash their full potential. At Hearing & Balance Solutions in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Goutham Gosu's specialized expertise ensures that every Phonak Infinio device is meticulously tailored to suit each patient's unique hearing needs. With Dr. Gosu's guidance, individuals can harness the full capabilities of this cutting-edge technology, empowering them to fully embrace the joys of enhanced hearing.

A Top-Rated Audiologist Committed to Excellence

Dr. Gosu brings 18 years of experience in audiology to every patient interaction. As a fellow of the American Academy of Audiology and a certified member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, he maintains the highest standards of professional practice. His recognition as one of the top-rated audiologists in Charlotte speaks to his commitment to patient care and satisfaction.

Dr. Gosu's approach to hearing healthcare is founded on four key principles: education, a patient-centered approach, evidence-based best practices, and comprehensive follow-up care. This holistic methodology ensures that each patient receives not just a hearing aid, but a personalized solution tailored to their specific needs and lifestyle.

The Critical Role of Professional Fitting

The choice of hearing aid is crucial, but equally important is the professional who programs it. The skill of an audiologist plays a pivotal role in optimizing hearing aid performance. Dr. Gosu's vast experience and dedication to best practices ensure that each Phonak Infinio is tailored to the wearer's unique hearing profile and lifestyle requirements.

The fitting process unlocks the true potential of a hearing aid. It goes beyond simply amplifying sound. It involves fine-tuning the device to align with the specific characteristics of hearing loss, the shape of the ear canal, and personal listening preferences. Dr. Gosu's expertise becomes invaluable at this stage.

Real Ear Measurement: Ensuring Precision in Fitting

At Hearing & Balance Solutions, we utilize Real Ear Measurement (REM) as a cornerstone of our fitting process. REM is considered the gold standard in hearing aid fitting, providing objective verification that your hearing aids are programmed correctly for your unique ear canal acoustics and hearing loss.

This process involves placing a tiny microphone in your ear canal to measure the actual sound delivered by the hearing aid. By comparing these measurements to prescriptive targets based on your hearing test results, we can make precise adjustments to ensure you're receiving the appropriate amplification across all frequencies.

The use of REM sets Hearing & Balance Solutions apart from many other practices. It's a testament to our commitment to providing the highest quality of care and ensuring that each patient receives the maximum benefit from their Phonak Infinio hearing aids.

Dr. Gosu's Personalized Approach to Fitting Phonak Infinio

Our fitting process begins with a comprehensive hearing assessment to determine the exact nature and degree of your hearing loss. We then evaluate your lifestyle, daily activities, and specific hearing challenges to understand your unique needs. This holistic approach allows us to not just address your hearing loss, but to enhance your overall quality of life.

Based on this information, Dr. Gosu guides you in selecting the most appropriate Phonak Infinio model. The Infinio family offers several options to cater to different needs and preferences:

  1. Phonak Audéo Infinio R: A rechargeable receiver-in-canal (RIC) model available in performance levels I90, I70, I50, and I30.
  2. Phonak Audéo Infinio Sphere: A premium RIC model featuring dual-chip technology for enhanced performance, available in I90 and I70 levels.
  3. Phonak CROS Infinio: A solution for single-sided deafness that transmits sound from the non-hearing ear to the hearing ear.

Dr. Gosu takes the time to explain the features and benefits of each model, ensuring you make an informed decision that aligns with your hearing requirements and personal preferences.

Once the ideal model is selected, Dr. Gosu uses REM to custom program your Phonak Infinio. This precise fitting process ensures that the advanced features of the Infinio, such as AutoSense OS 6.0 and Spheric Speech Clarity, are optimized for your specific hearing profile.

Maximizing the Potential of Your Phonak Infinio

Our commitment to your hearing health extends beyond the initial fitting. We provide comprehensive education on your Phonak Infinio's features and how to use them effectively. This includes hands-on training to help you navigate the device's controls, connectivity options, and the myPhonak app for personalized adjustments.

The Phonak Infinio offers a range of advanced features that Dr. Gosu helps you maximize:

  1. Spheric Speech Clarity: This feature offers up to 10 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement, enhancing your ability to hear speech in noisy settings.
  2. SmartSpeech Technology: Includes Speech Enhancer for improved speech intelligibility in quiet environments and Dynamic Noise Cancellation for better comfort in noisy situations.
  3. Motion Sensor Hearing: Adjusts settings based on your movement, optimizing hearing in different scenarios.
  4. Universal Bluetooth connectivity: Allows for direct connection to smartphones and other devices for streaming calls, music, and other audio.

Dr. Gosu also emphasizes the importance of patient feedback in the fitting process. We encourage you to share your experiences in different listening environments, allowing us to fine-tune your devices for optimal performance in various scenarios. This iterative process ensures that your hearing aids continue to meet your needs as you encounter different acoustic environments in your daily life.

We also provide ongoing maintenance checks to keep your devices in top condition, maximizing their lifespan and performance. Our team is always available to address any questions or concerns you may have about your Phonak Infinio hearing aids.

  3. It ensures you're always benefiting from the latest updates and features of your Phonak Infinio.
