PC Audiometry
Clinical Testing
Two independent channels provide complete control in testing including air and bone conduction, speech testing, and integrated special tests. Navigate quickly using a mouse and intuitive keyboard shortcuts to move confidently while evaluating patients across all populations.
Synchronous Teleaudiology
Expand access to hearing healthcare by enabling realtime, remote testing when a clinician can’t be on site. By using the optional teleaudiology interface, you can take full control of the audiometer from anywhere to perform manual testing with the same precision and confidence as if you were in the room.
On-Screen Controls
Customizable navigation bar allows you to tailor shortcuts to move easily between test types. Expand side menus to make selections for Channel 1 and 2 including signal, routing, and transducers, and adjust monitor and calibration levels with ease. Show or hide controls based on your preferences so everything you need is right at your fingertips.
Customizable Protocols
The clinical audiometry config app allows you to create examiner preferences to ensure the software display is meaningful for each clinician and set security protocols for each examiner. Audiometry protocols can be defined by patient population, appointment type, or individual preference to ensure the appropriate testing tools are available when you need them.
EMR Made Easy
Audiometric results are easily transferred from the AudioSol to GSI Suite software where audiometric, tympanometric, and OAE test results may be combined into a single comprehensive report. Counseling overlays such as the speech banana or hearing loss levels assist the clinician with explaining the results to the patient and family members.
