How it Works
Features
- Pure tone air conduction up to 8 kHz (Threshold, MCL, UCL). Provides a choice of multiple signal sound types
- Forehead bone conduction testing up to 4 kHz with optimal placement for ease of use in a remote setting
- Supports Speech Reception Threshold (SRT), QuickSIN™, and Speech Discrimination testing with word lists specific to local regions
- Capture photos with patient-guided video otoscopy
- Built in video conferencing capabilities
- Talk forward/Talk back allowing for patient instructions to help guide them as required
- On-screen display of audiogram with ability to input comments
Best Suited For
Perform remote tests in real-time
- Conduct remote diagnostics in real time
- Seamlessly perform AC & BC, pure tone & speech testing, and video-otoscopy
- Expand access to hearing care
- Provide comprehensive telehealth while the patient is at a remote clinic or at home
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.
