Core Function Highlights
  • Measure hearing thresholdsUses air- and bone-conduction tests to determine thresholds and quantify hearing loss.
  • Classify hearing-loss typeCompares air- and bone-conduction results to help distinguish conductive from sensorineural loss.
  • Support extended audiological assessmentSupports speech audiometry, suprathreshold testing and hearing-rehabilitation assessment.
