Tone audiometer, automated

19 devices · GMDN 41187

An automated tone audiometer is an electroacoustic device used in clinical settings to assess a patient's hearing sensitivity. It delivers tones of varying frequency and intensity through headphones and automatically determines the hearing threshold by detecting the patient's responses, often displaying or storing the results for clinical interpretation.

These devices are typically regulated as medical devices that require appropriate validation for accuracy and safety in diagnostic use. They are supplied for professional use in audiology clinics, hospitals, or occupational health settings and are designed to operate with minimal manual intervention due to their automated tone generation and response recording capabilities.
