The Science of Sound Listen Hear! The All new Excalibur Audiometer
October 10th 2008 The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 make hearing testing compulsory where exposure levels are exceeded; this linked with ever increasing claims for noise-induced-hearing-loss mean now is the time to stem the flow of potential litigation. This is an occupational hazard that, with the right equipment, can be easily prevented. The NEW Excalibur audiometer from Castle Group Limited provides the perfect “sound solution” for audiometric testing.
Technologically advanced, the Excalibur makes light work of the testing process by using the power of a PC or laptop computer to efficiently carry out the testing and store results. The comprehensive data management of the Excalibur system adds flexibility and control virtually unheard of in audiometry. Regular software updates also mean you will never be caught out again by any changes in the regulations, or codes of practice.
Connecting directly to a PC or laptop, the Excalibur is simplicity itself to use and prompts on the PC screen guide the examiner through the testing process.
The Excalibur’s state of the art features include the ability to compare new data with previous test results for category 1 analysis, and can even generate letters that recall patients for testing. Whole “batches” of test data can then easily be analysed to give management statistics. Castle also offers a three-day training course in Industrial Audiometry.
The course is designed to give delegates an in-depth working knowledge of audiometric testing programmes through practical learning. The course is approved by the British Society of Audiology (BSA) and focuses heavily on Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Guidance. More articles from Castle Group Limited: |
