MULTICHANNEL AUDIOMETRY IN DETAIL

Three channels. Numerous
clinical applications.

AURITEC’s multi-channel audiometry is a module that makes our audiometry platform unique. It has been developed for advanced audiological diagnostics and offers a wide range of options for tone and speech audiometry. This means, for example, that you can select two sound sources for the speech signal and the noise signal via the free-field setup, whilst simultaneously masking one of the patient’s ears with an independent signal, for instance via an earphone. This is a major advantage for SSD and CI patients.

Multichannel audiometry can be used to test hearing aid systems in accordance with the EUHA guidelines. The simulation of a noisy environment is achieved here not only by means of a ceiling-mounted omnidirectional loudspeaker, but also simply using the +/- 90° loudspeakers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key facts about the AT2000 at a glance

Here you will find answers regarding the areas of application, functions, expansion options and technical requirements of the clinical multi-channel audiometer.

The AT2000 is a modular, multi-channel clinical audiometer. It supports tone, speech and free-field measurements, as well as specialised applications such as multi-channel audiometry, directional hearing, paediatric audiometry and the direct stimulation of cochlear implants. The equipment and test procedures can be configured to suit the specific area of application.

The AT2000 is designed specifically for ENT and paediatric audiology clinics, cochlear implant centres, universities, research institutions and specialist audiology practices. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be used for both routine clinical diagnostics and complex measurement set-ups.

In multi-channel audiometry, more than two different signals can be output simultaneously via different transducers. For example, speech and background noise can be reproduced from different directions whilst a separate masking signal is output via an earphone. This enables more detailed examinations, including for patients with SSD.

An optional surround module provides eight independent free-field channels that can be used simultaneously. By combining two modules, the system can be expanded to up to 16 free-field channels. Signals, levels and directions can be configured separately.

Yes. The AT2000 has a dedicated line-out for direct connection to cochlear implants. Depending on the system used, the signal can be transmitted via cable or via a suitable streamer. This helps to minimise the effects of room acoustics and facilitates examinations for SSD patients. Specific compatibility should be confirmed with AURITEC in advance.

The range of services available includes tone and speech audiometry, suprathreshold and dichotic tests, tinnitus assessment, free-field and multi-channel measurements, as well as procedures for directional hearing and paediatric audiometry. Amongst others, the following are available: the Freiburg speech tests, the Oldenburg sentence tests, MATCH, AAST, mFAST, the WESTRA procedure and ERKI. The exact scope depends on the selected configuration and the licensed test procedures.

Yes. Various multilingual speech tests are available for the AT2000, including Arabic test procedures. The specific languages and procedures available in a particular configuration should be agreed upon when planning the system.

In principle, your own test materials can be integrated using suitable audio files. In addition, hardware authorisation for external programmes such as MATLAB is available as an option. Requirements, file formats, calibration and the intended medical or scientific use should be discussed with AURITEC in advance.
