Some Buying Tips For Audiometers

By Jennie Sandoval


Audiometers are used in the medical field to handle heath observations and various other forms of tests and functions. They are available in various kinds, which has sometimes led to confusion as to which audiometer to purchase. Only the best equipment can complete the job accurately, and therefore medical professionals must consider their options very carefully.

There is always a process for doing the right thing. Buying an audiometer has much to do with your determination and how ready you are to ensure that your investigations go well. The first tip to consider when buying an audiometer has to do with checking its operating systems. Many high-end devices are very difficult to use, and also have very difficult functions.

A clinic or medical practice may not need a very sophisticated device that is capable of performing multiple functions. If this is the case, there is no point in buying an audiometer of similar characteristics. Pure-tone devices, however, should result in frequencies of 500 to 6,000 Hz, with no exception.

The best device has an accuracy level within one percent. However, those that provide accuracy within three percent are considered very good as well. It will depend on the type of testing that is required from the device. It is recommended by ANSI S2.6-1996 to purchase a device with at least three percent accuracy if clinical procedures are involved.

A type 1 will do very well in clinical environments where a complete variety of testing criteria need to be met. If you are making use of the audiometer for testing speech, you need to buy a type C audiometer. This audiometer will provide the full benefits as required. Before the audio metric testing process can go well, you need to have the best earphone set.

Earphones, or earpieces, can be used in several ways. The most common way, however, is one earpiece to be used for each ear. This will also achieve the most efficient form of testing. The earphones will accurately detect all sounds, and will easily transmit them to the ear of the user. Supra aural earpieces can be used as well, but are not usually considered as better than usual earphones.

The importance of selecting the right equipment cannot be overemphasized, as the wrong device can cause problems, and even possible damages. Only the best equipment is able to achieve the desired results from medical tests. An audiometer is not something that can be used by just anyone, a professional with training in regards to the workings of the device should be employed.

When audiometers are not used very well, damages can be caused. Free-field tests are not advised to be used regularly. Although this kind of testing can work at times, it should not be considered as the best, or as a 100% accurate solution. When children cannot use earpieces, free-field testing can be used. Clinical testing can be fun when it is carried out in the right way with the best equipment.
