Hearing Instrument Fitting System

Axiom delivers real control and real productivity. With it, you can help more patients, �t more hear-ing instruments, achieve higher client satisfaction, and do all of that without breaking a sweat — or the the bank. It’s the a�ordable way to take con-trol of the �tting process. Axiom is also the preferred choice for those focused on high-quality �tting with high-volume productivity.

Control is everythingYou simply cannot rely on the hearing instrument itself or on patient comments to ensure you have complete control over �tting a hearing instrument properly. Neither method is su�cient for a quality outcome.

Take control — �t with factsObjective measurement is essential for your management of hearing instrument �tting and the care of your patient. It is the key to patient satisfaction and the success of the patient’s rehabilitation. With it, you control the outcome. Without it, you don’t.

Audioscan gives you controlAudioscan systems for real ear measurement, instrument veri�cation, and its Speechmap® �tting environment provide the objective measurement you need to control the outcome for your patients. It is the best founda-tion for basing your professional guidance, and supervision. It also is the best path to fewer returned products, better productivity, and better overall patient satisfaction — giving you peace of mind.

Veri�cation Myths

Speechmap® for easy counselingThis unique �tting environment is easy to use and easy for patients to comprehend. In a few minutes your patients will understand their residual area, recruitment, and the limitations that their hearing loss imposes. Use the visually enhanced before-and-after SII graph to clearly show the bene�t the selected instrument is providing.

Great for pediatric applicationsAxiom is equipped with everything you need to �t infants and children, including an RECD transducer. Our exclusive sensory loss simulator allows you to accu-rately demonstrate the patients’ sensorineural hearing loss to any third party — listeners gain empathy and understanding of the frustrating nature of hearing loss.

A real telehealth solutionAxiom is also ready to ‘go the distance’. It includes built-in telehealth capability requiring only minimum telecommu-nications bandwidth to ensure that your long-distance patient encounters will be fast and practical.1

Adaptable to suit any spaceWe designed the Axiom to be equally suited in your workspace whether it’s large or small. You can use our new “on-top” feature to share a monitor and peripherals with your programming computer.¹

Secure, stable and completely maintainedUnlike PC-based systems, Audioscan products utilize proprietary hardware and software architecture to better serve audiology functions. You’ll never get a virus, and never worry about compatibility. Self-contained, our products are impervious to the rapid obsolscence of PC hardware and operating systems — and since our software updates are free you’re always on the cutting edge of �tting technology.

Compatible with today’s hearing instrumentsAxiom can verify analog/digital, occluded/open, and even frequency shifting instruments! Axiom is ideal for use with every patient regardless of the hearing instru-ment technology employed.

“This HI is too magic to measure!”Just remember O-E-S We measure the OUTPUT of the hearing instrument, at the EARDRUM, using SPEECH — the signal all HI’s are designed to process. Measuring in this way means that regard-less of advanced digital processing or open/closed style, your results are correct.

Veri�cation Myths

Veri�cation Myths

“Patient feedback is su�cient”Hearing is often lost over a lengthy period of time. When full audibility is restored the brain is not prepared to handle this long-absent input. Treating hearing loss is a rehabilitative process requiring objective measurement, patient understanding of their condition, and the guid-ance of a hearing health care professional. Rely-ing on patient feedback, �rst �t, or integrated REM often results in under-ampli�cation

Veri�cation Myths

“It’s too expensive”Veri�cation is an investment that pays divi-dends. Audioscan systems have a useful life that measures in the decades. During that period you can expect increased positive word of mouth, decreased returns, increased patient satisfaction, and less time spent per patient.

NOAH® module — simple, e�ective data managementOur all-new module allows quick transfer of data between your Audioscan and NOAH. Comparison between current and older test results is easy when you store, view, and print your Audioscan screens inside the NOAH database. This popular option removes needless double-entry of audio-grams and makes the paperless o�ce a reality!

Extension cables for added �exibilityIf you need more �exibility than the 10’ cables that come standard with the Axiom, you can easily order extra exten-sion cables.

Probe tubesGenuine Audioscan probe tubes help to ensure the accuracy and validity of your measurements. Contact Audioscan directly for supplies!

Barcode scanner for easy data re-entryIf you choose to print your results, you can include a unique barcode that will allow you to scan in audiometric data upon the patient’s return.
