BeFlex offers you a revolutionary approach to tting your clients with Bernafon hearing aid technology.

It is a powerful counseling and tting tool that will ease your daily work and help your clients choose

the instrument that is just right for them. Use it to save time in the tting journey while building up a

customer relationship based on credibility, trust, and professionalism in your practice.

BeFlex is a exible trial system. The latest Bernafon products from the premium level 9 down

to the entry level 1 can be demonstrated with BeFlex.

With just one tting, your clients can try up to three different Bernafon performance categories

simultaneously in one single hearing aid in their own listening environments. The different

performance categories can be programmed into BeFlex instruments and ne-tuned in a tting

session. The hearing aid user can compare the performance categories by pushing the program

button on the device or by using the Bernafon remote control. BeFlex creates the unique opportunity

to experience multiple technology levels in parallel, rather than sequentially in the clients’ day-to-day

listening situations.

Beginning the BeFlex Trial

Choose the BeFlex instrument (Pico RITE, Nano BTE, or Power BTE) that best suits your client.

To set up the BeFlex trial, follow steps 1 – 6 below.

Step 1: Detect the BeFlex Hearing Instrument

·Open Oasis

·Connect the BeFlex instrument to the programming device and click ‘‘Detect’’

A BeFlex instrument can be programmed with Oasis 22.0 and newer versions, and can be used with any

programming device available in Oasis (HiPro, EXPRESSlink3, FittingLINK, etc.). Please use standard

programming cables #2 (New Standard) for a wired connection.

Step 2: Select Acoustic Options

·Using the wizard, make sure that the appropriate acoustic options are selected and properly

mounted to the BeFlex product

·Click ‘‘Apply’’ to conrm the acoustic options and Click ‘‘Fit’’ to enter the tting screens

BEFLEX TRIAL SYSTEM

Step 3: Assign Performance Categories

·In the menu column under ‘‘Hearing Instrument’’, open the ‘‘Performance Category’’ screen

·By default, BeFlex products are congured with a Multi-Environment Program of the highest

performance category ‘‘JU 9’’ in programming slot P1. You can change this selection by clicking on

the small arrow in the ‘‘Select New Product’’ eld in P1.

·Assign more performance categories in P2 and P3 to allow your client to compare. The options

correspond to the performance of the Multi-Environment Programs in Juna 9 |7, Saphira 5 |3, and

Nevara 1.

The main listening differences between the performances categories and product families are

shown here:

Visit the Product Selector on the Bernafon website to learn more about the feature sets, benets, and products

in comparison.

Step 4: Fine-Tune the BeFlex Instrument

·Use the regular tools in Oasis to ne-tune the BeFlex instrument for your client

·Use the same gain for all Multi-Environment programs, to keep them comparable for your client.

The performance category slots are, therefore, coupled by default.

Optional:

·Decouple the performance category slots to ne-tune the performance categories independently

·Pair a Bernafon RC-N remote control

Data Logging is activated by default and cannot be switched off in BeFlex products. Data Logging will help you

to keep track of the usage of the BeFlex performance category slots and to determine the preferred performance

category after the trial period.

Step 5: Provide Information and Support for Your Client during the Trial Period

·To support your client during the trial period, print the individual Pocket Guide. Use the print button

in the top right-hand corner, select ‘‘Pocket Guide’’ from the list, and click ‘‘Print’’.

BEFLEX TRIAL SYSTEM

·Additionally, you can also provide your client with a regular Instructions for Use booklet for further

information on how to use and operate the hearing instrument. There are three versions available for

the three different models: Pico RITE, Nano BTE, and Power BTE.

·Encourage your client to switch between performance categories, using the program buttons or

remote control, to experience the benets in various listening situations. The table below shows you

some examples of listening environments where the performance of particular features can be

demonstrated best.

*Note that Reverb Reduction is turned off by default when Transient Noise Reduction is on.

Step 6: End the Fitting Session and Congure the Trial Period

·To end the tting session, click ‘‘Save and Quit’’

·Check the conguration information that follows. Then click ‘‘Save session and leave Oasis’’.

·Choose the duration of the trial period and click ‘‘Next’’

·The settings will now be saved in the BeFlex instrument and Oasis will be closed. Your client is now

ready to take their BeFlex instrument(s) and to try them in their own listening environments. Make

sure that you book a follow-up appointment that coincides with the trial period. This follow-up

appointment can be within the trial period for changes or ne-tuning, or simply at the end of the trial

period.

The trial period options are based on an average operating time of 10 hours/day. If the trial period expires before

the next appointment or follow-up session, the product will be muted after the next restart and the ‘‘end of

battery life’’ beep will sound. The BeFlex product cannot be used anymore and must be connected to the tting

software and programming device for re-programming.
