“SHOEBOX Audiometry is so easy-to-use that almost anyone can administer a diagnostic hearing test. In fact, it is so simple, patients virtually test themselves.”
Clinical Validation
SHOEBOX has been clinically validated for use as a diagnostic audiometer, even when testing is performed outside of a sound booth. We have been included in various studies on the efficacy of tablet audiometry, conducted at some of the world’s leading institutions, including Mayo Clinic, McGill University, CHEO, and more.
We include 1 hour of “Getting Started” training and access to our online “Audiometry Essentials” training modules. Contact us if you require further customized training or just wish to learn more.
