Medical software
This section is used to configure a third-party patient
management software to import audiometry curves.
A first drop-down menu lets you select the software
used. Next, you must define the location where the
ECH
O
SOFT
software will retrieve the patient infor-
mation. Finally, you need to define the location where
the
ECH
O
SOFT
should store the results once the meas-
urement is completed, so that the third-party software
can retrieve the curves.
5.4.3
Puretone audiometry settings
In this section you can select the frequency available for the pure tone audiometry and define the setting for the automatic
mode.
1.
Select the frequencies available in the audiometric measurement
2.
The automatic threshold measurement mode searches for a patient's hearing threshold over the range of frequencies
preselected in
1
. The frequencies are scanned from 1000Hz to the highest frequency, then from 1000Hz to the
lowest frequency. The repetition of the test at 1000Hz depends on the selection of the "
double validation at
1000Hz
" box. For each frequency, the test starts at the selected "
starting power
". The automatic algorithm per-
forms the power changes according to the rising threshold method, respecting the "
maximum power
" and "
mini-
mum power
" settings. The "
Response Time
" is the time limit after the stimulus presentation during which the
patient's response is considered valid. The intervals between two stimuli are randomly modified according to the
maximum and minimum intervals set.
3.
The modifications must be validated by clicking on
« Save »
.
The maximum frequency during testing may be limited depending on the stimulator (headphones) used.
For stimulation above 8000Hz, you need the "HF Audiometry" module and a high frequency headset.
