Additional information

Electroacoustic Auto Response System (EARS) Audiometer Tester

The GM Electroacoustic Auto Response System (EARS) is a compact, high-precision audiometer testing device designed to quickly and reliably verify the performance of audiometers prior to patient use. Ideal for occupational health, audiology clinics, and hospital environments, this system ensures accurate hearing assessments by confirming equipment functionality before testing begins.

Providing a fast and convenient pre-test check, the EARS device simulates patient responses to auditory tones, allowing clinicians to confirm that both the audiometer output and response button are functioning correctly. This supports best practice in audiometry and helps identify faults in earphones, cables, or connections before testing patients.

Operating across a clinically relevant frequency range of 500Hz to 8000Hz, the system delivers accurate and consistent threshold responses, enabling reliable verification of audiometer performance. This ensures that hearing test results remain reproducible, accurate, and clinically valid.

The EARS unit is simple to use, requiring earphones to be placed onto the colour-coded mouldings and connected to the audiometer. Automatic or manual test routines can then be performed, with results compared against expected values or previous readings. A dedicated response test function also allows verification of the audiometer response button.
