As audiology professionals, we know the importance of proper maintenance and care of equipment. Proper upkeep will preserve your equipment for many years. This includes having certified technicians calibrate and perform routine and preventative maintenance. Here is a list of things that can be done to care for and maintain your equipment between calibrations.

1. Regularly clean your audiometer

2. Daily function testing

3. Troubleshoot intermittent operation of the headset or insert phones

4. Check for static in the headset

5. Keep cords from getting tangled

6. Replace probe tubing or insert phone tubing

7. Never move a headset from one audiometer to another

Moving headsets will require the unit to be recalibrated.

Performing these simple maintenance tasks, along with annual calibrations from certified professionals, will help keep your equipment running properly. Well maintained audiology equipment is essential to achieve accurate testing results. Call your e3 representative to schedule your annual calibration.
