Ponto Trial

Use the Ponto Care app™ to evaluate if bone anchored hearing is right for you

 

The Ponto Care™ app is a mobile self-help tool that provides guidance while you are trying out a bone anchored sound processor. It allows you to get the most out of your trial and make an informed decision on whether bone anchored hearing is right for you. It does that by guiding you through different listening situations in your daily life and letting you rate and comment on them. Once you have done the ratings, you can easily share them with your hearing care professional and discuss them at your next visit, whether that takes place in person or remotely.

Ponto Care™ app helps you get to know your Ponto bone anchored hearing system (BAHS) and evaluate its performance.

Features include:

  • Select the different listening situation you would like to rate

  • Rate and comment on how well you hear in different listening situations

  • Share these ratings with your audiologist

►

 

  • Step 1

    Experience different listening situations in your daily life

    It only takes a few minutes to rate and comment on different listening environments. The app lets you evaluate the following standard situations: conversation in quiet, conversation in noise, and sounds outdoors.

  • Step 2 

    Rate your hearing in these situations

    You can rate each listening environment up to five times. Each rating includes a field in which you can provide additional comments to clarify your entry. At any time during your trial, you can review the ratings and the comments – as well as the time and date you made them.

  • Step 3 

    Share your ratings with your audiologist before the next visit

    Once you have provided at least seven ratings in total, you can email this data to your audiologist before your next appointment. During the visit, your audiologist can then use this information to adjust your Ponto for optimal hearing.
