5 Audiometric Testing Products For 2020

Audiometric equipment and supplies for occupational health that have caught our attention

There are three types of innovation in vestibular testing technology that we keenly watch for:



1. Advancements In Technology

New or improved technology is always exciting, and it often introduces new ways that clinicians can interact or understand their patients.

2. Improvements to Existing Technology

Quality equipment should be designed to last years. We appreciate when equipment is resilient and supported so it remains an integral part of the any clinical environment.

3. New Supplies and Products

Diagnostic technology is the foundation of hearing and balance health, but supplies are just as important to support both clinicians and clients.

AD629 Hybrid Audiometer

The Interacoustics AD629 is a hybrid audiometer – meaning it can be used as a standalone unit or it can be connected to a computer. It’s a compact device that is designed to be used for mobile testing or can be set up in a clinical environment. 



This audiometer is a flexible and upgradable tool that suits a variety of audiometric testing environments. With PC integration, you can expect this audiometer to support advanced tests well into the future.





Personal Protective Equipment

PPE isn’t the most exciting product, but it is among the most important product of 2020. Demand has skyrocketed, so acquiring the necessary equipment has been a challenge for many clinical environments.


Even though there is not much innovation in personal protective equipment, there is an unprecedented requirement to keep clinical environments safe. Diatec Canada has sourced a dependable line of PPE, including
ear-to-ear face shields that offer protection from hair to chin. See our current selection of personal protective equipment.



Hand-Held Audiometers

For hearing screening, this pure tone air conduction audiometer from Maico can be operated with one hand. It is lightweight and powered with batteries, meaning this tool can be brought out whenever necessary for workplace or employee screening.



For a slightly larger (yet still portable) audiometer, see the MA-25 from Maico.







Pre-Owned Audiometric Equipment

Every Diatec Canada carries a selection of pre-owned audiometric testing equipment. Our used units come fully calibrated so they are ready to be used for occupational audiometric testing, and all units come with a 6-month warranty. See our current selection of used audiometric diagnostic equipment.



GSI 18 Portable Audiometer

Made by GSI, this portable audiometer is designed for accurate and straightforward testing in all types of workplaces or on-the-go. The audiometer only weighs 2.5 pounds, but it offers full frequency and intensity range. Depending on where you’re using it, the audiometer can switch between supra-aural and insert headphones.
