Using the MedRx Probe Tube Stabilization System

 

To assist in maintaining proper probe tube position 
during Live Speech Mapping and Real Ear 
Measurement, MedRx has developed the Probe 
Tube Stabilization System.   

After bending the ear hook and attaching the probe 
assembly and tube, slide the Stabilization System 
onto the ear hook as shown.  Align the larger hole 
with the ear canal and thread the probe tube 
through.  The black tube depth marker should rest 
just inside the larger hole. 

 

 

 

Positioning the Speakers

 

Proper positioning of the 
loudspeakers relative to 
the patient’s hearing 
aids is critical for making 
accurate and repeatable 
measurements. Seat the 
patient so their ear is 
between 19 and 39 
inches from the 
loudspeaker.   

 

Make sure the grill of the loudspeaker is level with and directly in front of the patient’s head. 

When using Live Speech inputs, position the patient so the mouth of the person speaking is in the same 
position as the loudspeaker shown here.
