Used auidiology equipment6/7/2023 These units are often sturdily built to tolerate harsh conditions but require maintenance to avoid internal rusting and degradation. Seldom do these units provide custom tones, masking, speech or special tests. While weight is often still an issue, the more portable versions provide basic air and bone testing but lack advanced functionality. The traditional clinical audiometer mandates the sacrifice of function to facilitate its reduced form factor. Limitations of Traditional Portable Diagnostic Audiometers With the advent of mobile technology, we have witnessed the transformation of dated screening audiometer equipment into a new breed of powerful, simple-to-use, internet-connected mobile audiometers. To a large extent, these devices still require a power plug and a modicum of expertise to operate. Notably, many rugged systems have been successfully used globally in challenging environments. At their least impressive is a stripped-down tabletop audiometer with a handle attached. In the late 1950s, portable audiometers were developed in an effort to reach populations without access to hearing tests conducted in controlled environments by highly trained professionals.
