1.5 Description
1.5.1 General
The PILOT TEST is a portable dual functioning audiometer offering pure tone air
conduction audiometry and simple screening speech audiometric test. The device was
designed to offer a child-friendly appearance by placing technical controls
“hidden"
behind nice illustrations such as butterfly or sun.
1.5.2 Pure Tone Audiometry
Hearing threshold levels can be determined by presenting pure tone test signals to the
child with the included headphones (air conduction
– AC). The purpose of AC audiometry
is to establish the hearing sensitivity at various frequencies. The test can specify the AC
loss but cannot distinguish between abnormality in the conductive mechanism and
sensorineural mechanism.
1.5.3 Select Picture Audiometry
Select Picture Audiometry incorporates the child listening to a series of two syllable
“spondee” words at different decibel levels and point to the picture. The purpose is to
establish an ear specific hearing level when standard pure tone testing cannot be
performed. The level at which a patient can understand spoken language can be a
valuable screening tool, especially with young children. This speech recognition level
can be determined easily by the PILOT TEST.
