Audiometer (children)

David Edward Hughes invented the audiometer in 1799. He described it in his 1803 report to the Royal Society of London. Benjamin Ward Richardson coined the word "audiometer" when he concluded his report on Professor Hughes' new instrument. Today, audiometers are used for hearing assessment, speech therapy, and many other purposes. The device provides information about the hearing ability of a person. In 1902, the United States Congress passed the Americans With Hearing Loss Act, which mandated the use of audiometers.

An audiometer consists of an oscillator and an amplifier. The signal is filtered and amplified by an attenuator, which controls the intensity of the tones. The test takes place on an earphone or a loudspeaker, and the results are recorded. Most audiometers have a 0-100 dB range, with zero being the lowest intensity. An example of a typical audiometer is an Audixi 10 model.

The most common type of audiometer is a pure-tone device. These devices range in price from cheap devices to elaborate diagnostic models. A pure-tone audiometer sends a low-frequency tone through an earphone. The patient's threshold is the lowest intensity at which the tone is perceived 50% of the time. The audiogram is then plotted. The audiogram shows the level of sound that a person perceives. The sensitivity of the patient's ears will determine the level of hearing loss.

Several companies produce audiometers. Some of these audiometers are portable and cost-effective. In addition to reducing costs, they also improve the productivity of healthcare workers. The digital format of an audiometer makes it easier to maintain, making it more efficient. Whether it is an ICT-based device or a traditional analog unit, digital audiometers save time and resources. If the sound of a patient's voice is clear and understandable, it means that a patient can easily communicate with an examiner.

To avoid causing the machine to malfunction, an audiometer should be cleaned regularly. It should be kept away from extreme temperatures. It should not be exposed to moisture. It should be closed in a closed case and kept dry to prevent dust from collecting. If it needs cleaning, it should be cleaned with mild soap and water. The audiometer's case should be clean as well. Once the case is clean, the user can start analyzing the data and record the results.

The audiometer is an electronic device that evaluates auditory acuity. It is usually a simple device consisting of an embedded hardware unit connected to headphones. In addition, it has a feedback button that allows the test subject to hear the sound in an acceptable quality. A computer can control an audiometer and the tests are automated. When an EEOC uses an audiometer for hearing testing, it has a high level of accuracy.

There are two main types of audiometers. The Bekesy audiometer, which uses pure tones to assess the hearing ability of a person, is the most common. This type of audiometer measures hearing a person's threshold by following a tone of increasing amplitude. Its standard deviations are smaller, but its thresholds can be difficult to determine. In some cases, the device is used in conjunction with bone vibrators to evaluate conductive hearing mechanisms.

Medical audiometers are generally segmented based on the type of audiogram. There are PC-based audiometers and standalone audiometers. The PC-based audiometer segment would account for the largest share of the medical audiometer devices market in 2021. The hospitals and clinics segment would account for the highest share of the North American market. GE, Siemens, and GSI manufacture high-quality, reliable, and affordable audiometers.

The North American audiometer market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US is the largest contributor in the North American region. The country's high-quality audiometers are widely used in hospitals, audiology centers, and research communities. A large number of software-based audiometers are available. The technology used in these devices can be highly accurate and highly reliable. The corresponding applications are numerous. Further, the device can help identify the presence of a hearing disorder in children.

The Piccolo is a portable diagnostic audiometer with a multifunction keypad and allows for bone, air, and speech audiometric testing. It can be controlled using a Windows computer. It can be operated by an iPad via Bluetooth wireless connection. Harp is an advanced diagnostic audiometer with more functions and a higher price. It offers several features and is often used in hospitals and ENT clinics. It is a reliable and affordable tool for hearing care professionals.
