Audiometry for CI centres
A comprehensive assessment of hearing with cochlear implants: AURITEC offers audiometry systems and testing procedures for speech understanding, follow-up assessments and specialised measurements in adults and children.
Appropriate measurement methods for CI diagnostics
How well is speech understood in quiet and in the presence of background noise? How do the results develop over the course of treatment? And what tests are required in cases of unilateral deafness or bilateral treatment? In CI centres, measurement procedures and equipment must be tailored to different listening situations.
AURITEC combines clinical audiometry with appropriate speech tests and advanced measurement capabilities. Direct signal output to compatible CI processors, multi-channel audiometry and the assessment of directional hearing round off the range of tests. AT-research is available for scientific research purposes.

Speech tests carried out in quiet conditions and in the presence of background noise help to assess speech comprehension and its development. Depending on the specific issue, free-field measurements and tests of directional hearing may also be carried out. For the purposes of monitoring progress, the test setup, test procedures and processor settings should be documented in a clear and comprehensible manner.
Audiometric signals are transmitted to a compatible CI processor via a cable or a suitable streamer. This helps to minimise the effects of room acoustics. Compatibility, connection and calibration must be tailored to the specific processor. Direct measurement complements free-field tests, which also incorporate the processor’s microphones.
Several signals can be output simultaneously via different transducers. For example, speech and background noise can be presented from different directions, and a separate masking signal can be used where required. This enables sophisticated measurement set-ups, such as in cases of unilateral hearing loss or complex clinical scenarios.
SIMAT and AAST offer language-based assessments for children aged four and over, provided they have sufficient task comprehension and language skills. mFAST uses animal sounds and can be used for hearing screening in cases where language skills are limited. However, it does not assess language comprehension. The key factors are the child’s stage of development, their cooperation and the aim of the assessment.
