The Audiometer and its transducers will be carried in the pull along with the case, along with a large collection of hearing aid programming connectors. A response button is needed to communicate that sounds have been heard by the testee. Of course, these audiometers have to deliver sound to the ear, and they do this with two types of the transducer air conduction (headphones) and bone conduction (a tight band carefully placed by the Audiologist behind the ear and over the head). In branch, we have both Inventis Trumpet Audiometric equipment and Kamplex technology. The portable diagnostic Audiometer used by Hear4U Audiologists in their home kit is an Inventis Piccolo. The type of hearing test Hear4U Audiologists carry out regularly is called a Pure Tone Audiometry and is conducted with an Audiometer. The laptop is key for the running of Audiometry and Hearing Aid software, enabling the Audiologist to perform a hearing test and program hearing aids according to the hearing thresholds. For an Audiologist, there is nothing worse than being out and about for home visits or a satellite clinic and not having something that they need. Depending on your appointment type, not all of these pieces will be required but generally, the Audiologist will travel with everything in case the need arises. The bulkier pieces of Audiologist tools and equipment include the Audiologist’s laptop, Audiometer, Aural Microsuction and Water Irrigation kit along with all the associated paraphernalia that they require. In branch, Hear4U Audiologists use a Welch Allyn Otoscope and for domiciliary work, a Heine Mini Otoscope is used. Before a hearing test or wax removal procedure can begin, this examination – called Otoscopy, must be performed so the Audiologist is aware of any blockage of the canal and any abnormalities of note. The most important piece of the Audiologist tools and equipment for a hearing test or wax removal appointment is an Otoscope which is used by the Audiologist to examine your ear canal and tympanic membrane (eardrum). What could they possibly need all those bags and cases for? Let’s go through all the Audiologist tools and equipment and their roles to assure you that they are not, in fact, moving in. When your Audiologist turns up at your front door for a home visit hearing test or wax removal, you might be wondering why they haven’t brought their kitchen sink too.
