Welch Allyn AudioPath
Affordable, objective hearing screening is possible at last
thanks to the new AudioPath EOAE screener. Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (EOAE)
are recognized as a highly sensitive indicator of hearing acuity.
Recommendations in support of pediatric hearing screening have been published by
the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control, the Joint
Committee on Infant Hearing, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. EOAE has
been identified as a safe, effective hearing screening procedure for children
under five years of age.
EOAE technology stimulates and detects sounds created by a bio-mechanical
process originating from the outer hair cells within the cochlea. This
eliminates the need for active patient response required in traditional
audiology screening tests. The latest research clearly shows that early
detection and intervention can dramatically improve the lives of
hearing-impaired children.
As your practice's hearing screening needs grow, so will the AudioPath
screener's state-of-the-art capabilities. That's because Welch Allyn has
designed the AudioPath screener for audiometry and tympanometry upgrades in
addition to its EOAE technology.
