Device programming and testing software designed for non-invasively programming or re-programming and testing hearing aids by processing data from an associated computer. The software performs a variety of algorithms to allow the analysis of the measurements performed on the user while assessing and/or changing the characteristics (i.e., programming, also known as fitting) of the hearing aid. Hearing aid programming/testing software is not usually available separate from the tester (e.g., a hearing aid/computer interface) but may be updated (i.e., through the release of modified versions) during the life of the programmer/tester. The software is used for programming, testing, and/or fitting a programmable hearing aid to a particular patient in audiometry departments or doctors\' offices; some programs may be intended for home use.
