Standard features, such as the headset microphone, allows the operator to communicate directly with patients while the built-in monitor speaker makes it easy for third parties to participate in the hearing evaluations. Sound field options are available from the standard 90 dB HL output to the high performance speakers with 96 dB HL - both without any external amplification needed. The maximum output of 102 dB HL is available with an external amplifier - achieving the highest output in the industry. Four speaker calibration is available for advanced sound field testing. One button, one function incorporated with a large display maintains the GSI legacy of fast and efficient navigation. Familiar The AudioStar Pro maintains the user friendly interface that has defined GSI since 1949. Audiologists will feel an immediate connection to both the display and intuitive control panel while being surrounded by new innovative features. This revolutionary audiometer maintains maximum flexibility in a two-channel audiometer allowing full control in testing procedures for every patient population. Customizable Test Type Buttons allow access to protocols that are customized to facility preferences. The AudioStar Pro uses a Configuration Application software to customize preferences for efficient and consistent testing. Auto Play, Auto Score, and Word List "Favorites" ensure seamless integration of the 50+ commonly used word lists included with every AudioStar Pro. The integrated Special Tests including Quick-SIN, BKB-SIN and TEN (HL) address research trends in hearing evaluation. The AudioStar Pro combined with GSI Suite, brings a new level of customized reporting options that addresses the requirements of both the facility and referral sources. Additional features integrated into the AudioStar Pro makes testing every patient even more seamless by configuring pure tone and speech preferences. The built-in auxillary intercom, active microphone during tone presentation as well as remote testing capabilities provide a multitude of options for testing difficult to test patients. The integrated intelligent functionality of activating sound field speakers during hearing aid or cochlear implant testing improves both efficiency and accuracy. Compatible The AudioStar Pro addresses the challenges of data management such as patient security and HIPAA compliance through our electronic record solutions: (E-Record Solutions). These solutions safely and easily integrate audiometric data into every facility’s data management system from VA, ENT, Private Practice, Hearing Aid, Cochlear Implant and Pediatric facilities.
