Performing sound-field speech audiometry off site
When a service technician performs an annual calibration on your AURICAL Aud speaker, the calibration is performed in
the location where you most often use AURICAL Aud, for example, in your consultation office. However, you may want to
take AURICAL Aud with you to perform sound-field speech audiometry in other locations, such as in a client's home or in a
nursing home. In that case, the AURICAL Aud speaker must be calibrated for the new location. You can use a sound level
meter, together with OTOsuite, to make a temporary manual calibration.
Overview of portable sound-field audiometry tasks
To prepare for off-site sound-field speech audiometry:
•
Enable portable sound-field audiometry in the Configuration Wizard.
•
When you are at the site where you will perform off-site sound-field audiometry, click
Calibrate
in the Speech Audi-
ometry control panel to open the
Portable Sound-Field Audiometry
window. Use this window to:
–
Calibrate one speaker - first the primary signal, then the secondary signal
–
Calibrate the second speaker, if applicable. First the primary signal, then the secondary signal
–
Save the calibration values.
•
To use the new calibration values, select
Portable Sound-Field Audiometry
in the Control panel, and then perform
speech audiometry as you normally would.
If you move to another off-site location, remember to repeat the manual calibration.
When you return to your default location, deselect
Portable Sound-Field Audiometry
in the control panel.

Enabling portable sound-field audiometry
