There are a number of audiometers that audiologists can use to evaluate the hearing health of their patients. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and some are more advanced than others. For instances, one audiometer may perform only screening tests, while another may perform a full battery of screening and diagnostic tests. With so many audiometers out there, it’s critical to understand what your needs ensure you make the best decision.
One of the most innovative audiometry products on the market is GSI AMTAS, a patient-directed evaluation tool that’s available in two different versions (AMTAS Pro and AMTAS Flex). It essentially automates the testing process, allowing you to see other patients while one is taking the test. As a result, your time is freed up to see more patients and complete other day-to-day tasks.
This list is hardly comprehensive, but it does touch on the essential must-haves for audiology clinics and hearing aid dispensers. Making sure your clinic has all the tools it needs translates to better care and happier, more satisfied patients.
