BOOK AUDIO: The Future of Hearing Tests
Sanwa Seisakusho, a company based in Edogawa, Tokyo, Japan, has launched the innovative BOOK AUDIO portable audiometer. This cutting-edge device features an
Automatic Mode, which significantly streamlines the hearing testing process, making it easier for medical professionals and school health screenings alike. With a commitment to protecting children's health, the company's new device is designed for general health examinations, pre-employment screenings, and school health checkups.
Key Features of the BOOK AUDIO
1.
Automatic Mode: The first of its kind in Japan, this feature allows for automated hearing tests with just two button presses. By simply pressing the
AUTO button, users can cycle through testing frequencies—first 1000Hz and 4000Hz for the right ear, then the left. This eliminates the need for manual settings of frequency or hearing level, greatly reducing testing times and enhancing efficiency.
2.
Three Testing Modes: The BOOK AUDIO accommodates various screening scenarios with three selectable modes via a panel switch on the back. Users can quickly switch between modes for school health screenings, pre-employment examinations, and regular health checks. Each mode automatically sets the appropriate frequencies and hearing levels, adhering to the JIS T 1201-1 (2020) Type 4 standard, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
3.
User-Friendly Design: The audiometer features a user-friendly interface with a clear display, large buttons, and a compact response switch. Designed for ease of use across all age groups—from children to the elderly—testing can be conducted without stress.
4.
Lightweight and Portable: Weighing just 450 grams and measuring only 2.3 cm in thickness, the BOOK AUDIO's tablet design enhances portability. Its smart storage options make it ideal for use in clinics, during home visits, or in school settings.
5.
Multi-Angle Stand: The included multi-angle stand can adjust bi-directionally, allowing for better visibility during tests and helping to maintain the focus of the subject participating in the screening. This thoughtful design attends to the various situations medical professionals may face.
6.
Hygienic Headphones: The device features headphones with VMQ material ear pads that can be easily cleaned with alcohol. This consideration ensures hygiene during mass screenings, while shock-resistant polycarbonate elements enhance their durability.
7.
Tangle-Free Cords: Designed specifically to prevent hassle, the cords of the BOOK AUDIO are engineered to avoid twisting and tangling, ensuring stress-free operation for users over time.
