Audera® Pro: A New Era in Auditory Testing

Rion Company, headquartered in Kokubunji City, Tokyo, has unveiled an innovative auditory testing device named the Audera® Pro on July 1st. This compact yet versatile device is designed to deliver precise evaluations and diagnoses of hearing functions across a spectrum of tests, making it particularly beneficial for hospitals, clinics, and universities.

Features of the Audera® Pro

The Audera Pro is designed to perform a range of auditory tests including the ASSR (Auditory Steady-State Response) test, EP (Evoked Potential) test, and OAE (Otoacoustic Emissions) test. Its ability to measure the reactions of the ear and brain to sound automatically makes it ideal for evaluating hearing in infants, elderly individuals, and those who have difficulty expressing themselves.

ASSR Testing: A Vital Component

One standout feature is the ASSR test, which allows for objective estimation of hearing thresholds through brainwave responses. While automatic ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response) tests and OAE tests have long been used in newborn hearing screenings, there has been a growing clinical demand for more specific and quantitative evaluations provided by the ASSR method. This test is essential for assessing potential candidates for hearing aids and cochlear implants, as well as supporting children with hearing disabilities. Its use has expanded significantly in medical settings due to its accuracy and reliability.

Technological Advancements

Recent advancements in technology, including the capability for simultaneous measurement in both ears across multiple frequencies, have significantly shortened testing time and enhanced measurement reliability. As the healthcare field continues to embrace this innovation, the Audera Pro is set to become a staple in auditory evaluation.

Key Features

1. Enhanced Stimulus: Utilizing CE-Chirp® and CE-Chirp octave bands as stimulus sounds, the Audera Pro can elicit nearly double the auditory responses compared to traditional stimuli, vastly reducing testing time.
2. Customizable Protocols: The device comes pre-loaded with various testing protocols that can be tailored to meet specific testing requirements.
3. Comprehensive Transducers: Users will benefit from standard inclusion of insert earphones, ear-coupled air conduction headphones, and bone conduction headphones.
4. Objective Analytical Tools: The Audera Pro features essential analytical tools for clinical environments, such as estimating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and residual noise (RN), as well as statistical analysis tools for waveform similarity.
