Introduction

The

CAPELLA Cochlear Emissions Analyzer

is the most recent addi-

tion to the comprehensive line of audio diagnostic instrumentation
from GN Otometrics.

Capella

is a PC-based system which runs under

Microsoft® Windows™, either together with the NOAH/PAX soft-
ware platform, or as a self-contained program. In addition to the
main unit containing the hardware,

Capella

consists of separate soft-

ware modules, this documentation and accessories.

Capella

evaluates both of the two broad classes of emissions, Sponta-

neous and Evoked, and two of the evoked emission types, Transient
and Distortion Product. Two separate modes are incorporated for
Transient emissions, Echo-Screen for rapid neo-natal and infant
screening, and TEOAE for clinical and diagnostic testing of all pa-
tients. Tests include amplitude and input/output determinations of
Evoked emissions, as well as spectral averages of Spontaneous emis-
sions. A Tympanometry module is included for identifying hearing
problems arising in the middle ear.

CAPELLA Cochlear Emissions Analyzer

is operated by an IBM or com-

patible personal computer via the built-in RS232C connection, and
offers the following unique features:

•

Windows-based software running under NOAH or PAX.

•

Small, lightweight combination probe tip.

•

Separate Echo-Screen probe especially suited to infants and
new-born babies.

•

Each probe is individually calibrated for maximum probe
measurement accuracy.

•

Mounting options for probe assembly: shoulder harness,
standard sized headband or children´s headband.

•

Significantly reduced noise floor for threshold detection and
Input/Output tests.

•

Screening Tympanometry module.

•

Echo-Screen baby screening module.
