Aurical IQ is a modular hearing aid fitting and verification system designed to support best-practice fitting from initial assessment through verification and follow-up. Built with real ear measurement at its core, Aurical IQ combines trusted Aurical hardware with a new generation of Otosuite® software and the first and only Guided Workflow for hearing aid fitting and verification.
Guided Workflow provides step-by-step support designed to make best-practice fitting easier to learn, follow and perform consistently. In clinical studies, experienced clinicians completed fittings up to 51% faster,* while newer clinicians improved workflow accuracy by 39%.†
With wireless binaural probe microphone measurement, an integrated audiometer, hearing instrument test chamber, video otoscopy and support for NAL-NL3, Aurical IQ brings the tools clinicians need together in one integrated, modular fitting ecosystem.
Real ear measurement (REM), also known as probe microphone measurement (PMM), shows how a hearing aid performs in the individual patient’s ear canal. Aurical IQ enables clinicians to verify amplification against prescriptive targets and make precise adjustments based on the patient’s individual hearing needs and ear anatomy.
Trusted clinical Technology. A new generation of fitting workflow.
Aurical IQ adapts to the way you work. Its modular and flexible design lets you configure your fitting setup around your clinic and your workflow. Aurical® IQ AUD, Aurical® IQ HIT, Aurical® IQ Freefit and Aurical® Otocam 300-III work together through Otosuite and can be used together or separately.
The new generation of Otosuite brings the Aurical IQ ecosystem together and introduces Guided Workflow for hearing aid fitting and verification. With support for NAL-NL3 and a platform designed to evolve with fitting standards, connectivity, automation and emerging AI capabilities, Aurical IQ provides the technology clinicians need today with a foundation ready for tomorrow.
Frequently asked questions
What is real ear measurement, and why does it matter for hearing aid fitting?
Real ear measurement (REM) uses a probe tube and probe microphone placed in the patient’s ear canal to measure what a hearing aid is actually delivering. It is the preferred method for verifying that amplification matches the prescriptive target and accounts for each patient’s unique ear anatomy.
What modules are included in the Aurical IQ system?
Aurical IQ includes four integrated modules: the Aurical IQ Aud fitting audiometer, Aurical IQ HIT hearing instrument test chamber, Aurical IQ Freefit probe microphone measurement unit (real ear measurement unit), and Otocam 300-III video otoscope. Each module can be used together or separately, and new modules can be added as your clinic grows.
Can Aurical IQ perform binaural real ear measurements?
Yes. The Aurical IQ Freefit module supports wireless, binaural probe microphone measurements, allowing clinicians to verify both ears simultaneously for a more efficient and comfortable fitting process.
What is speech mapping, and how does Aurical IQ support it?
Speech mapping is a counseling tool that visually demonstrates how a hearing aid processes everyday sounds in the patient’s ear. Aurical IQ includes speech mapping as part of the Freefit module, helping clinicians show patients the real-world impact of their hearing aid settings.
What is Aurical IQ Guided Workflow?
Guided Workflow provides step-by-step support through best-practice hearing aid fitting and verification. It is designed to make the fitting process easier to learn, follow and perform consistently.
Does Aurical IQ support NAL-NL3?
Yes. Aurical IQ supports the NAL-NL3 prescription, bringing the latest fitting science into the fitting and verification workflow.

Does Natus Sensory provide training and support for Aurical IQ?
Yes. Natus Sensory offers training resources through our Academy, along with technical support and service programs to help clinicians get the most out of their Aurical system.
