Visualize the tympanic membrane while screening for hearing loss with AudioScope 3, a portable audiometric solution that is designed to improve productivity, outcomes, and satisfaction.
Features
- Optimized light enables brilliant view of tympanic membrane during screening
- Screening levels for all ages —20, 25 and 40 dB HL—at 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 Hz
- Built-in 1000 Hz pretone lets patients “practice” listening first
- Tones presented at random intervals to help improve patient compliance
- Takes approximately 30-60 seconds for full screening
Quickly and accurately screens all ages of patients—even pediatrics
With the Welch Allyn AudioScope 3 you can screen your patients quickly and accurately—and with more flexibility. It’s a simple procedure that takes only seconds, and in many instances may be third party reimbursable. You can even use the instrument to visualize the patient’s ear canal before and during the screening.
Because AudioScope 3 has three screening levels in one unit (20, 25 and 40dB HL), you can screen all of your patients with a single instrument. And the tones are presented at random intervals so your patients can’t second guess their hearing screen. This varied timing means improved results.
Welch Allyn has also built in a 1000Hz pretone, presented at 20dB HL above the screening level, so your patients have the opportunity to “practice” listening before they’re actually screened.
The Welch Allyn AudioScope 3 represents the latest in audiometric screening technology, combined with the reliability for which Welch Allyn has become known.
It’s a Simple Procedure That Takes Only Seconds
1. Prepare
- Seat the patient in a quiet room.
- Attach appropriate AudioSpec® to AudioScope 3.
- Instruct patient on method of response.
- Retract pinna.
2. Visualize
- Select desired screening level.
- Insert AudioScope 3 into ear canal.
- Visualize tympanic membrane.
3. Screen
- Depress “start” button..
- Observe tone indicators and patient’s responses.
- Screen opposite ear.
- RFailure at any frequency necessitates rescreen.
- Second failure may indicate need for referral.
