The Future of Professional Audiometry
All the advanced diagnostic capabilities of a traditional clinical audiometer, packed into one portable, easy-to-use solution on an iPad.
-
Portable
Expand your services beyond the clinic—bring testing to your patients.
-
Accurate
Optimized and validated for use outside of a booth.
-
Clinical
Bone conduction, EHF, SRT/SDT, Speech discrimination, Noah integration, and more. Also available with inserts.
How it Works
Features

Best Suited For
A better portable audiometer for your mobile practice needs
- Lightweight and portable
- Clinically validated accuracy
- No audiometric test booth required
Manual, Assisted, and Automated testing modes offer complete control
- Fun and interactive for the widest range of patients
- Easy to use – testing can be administered by almost anyone
- Reduces the bottleneck often caused by waiting for sound booth availability
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.
