GSI BLOG

Use of recorded speech materials in audiology continues to become more and more popular, and for good reason. There are plenty of articles and studies that have looked at the differences between using monitored live voice (MLV) and digital recordings for obtaining speech results, and it is quite clear that recorded speech is preferred for consistency and accuracy in almost all situations.

This entry to the GSI Blog is a reaction to the second video in the Closing the Audiology Gap series, which features two of our most beloved key opinion leaders, Robert Margolis, PhD and James W. Hall III, PhD.

Disposable supplies are an essential component of maintaining hygiene, cleanliness, and patient comfort when using GSI equipment.

AMTAS Flex, GSI’s self-directed screening and air conduction threshold audiometer, has multiple intended uses for a dispensing audiology practice. In general, AMTAS Flex could be used for everything from community outreach efforts, annual audiometric testing, open houses, and walk-ins.

Recently, I was browsing the e3 Diagnostics blog and came across a great post about what to expect when visiting an audiologist. As an audiologist, I know exactly what to expect at an appointment, but it has been a long time since I have put myself into a patient’s shoes and thought about how nerve-racking a hearing test can be.

As an audiologist for GSI, I often get the question about the differences between the AudioStar Pro™ and Pello™ audiometers. Since the Pello was released in 2016, GSI has been very clear that it is a 1.5 channel mid-level audiometer and that the AudioStar Pro is our 2 channel clinical audiometer. They look very similar (you can definitely tell they’re related) and “audiometry is audiometry”. So, what’s the real difference between the instruments besides the price? This blog post will unpack that question.

This entry of the GSI Blog is a reaction to the first video in the series, Closing the Audiology Gap, that features two of our most beloved key opinion leaders: Robert Margolis, PhD and James W Hall, III, PhD. Dr. Margolis and Dr. Hall have been influential in the audiology profession for decades.

As an audiologist working for an equipment manufacturer, I’m always interested in testing protocols, advances in technology, and best practices. These things shape the future of diagnostic equipment. James W. Hall, III, PhD, proposes an effective and efficient way to diagnose patients’ hearing disorders in a way that shakes up the status quo, and it’s worth a listen.

Tony Lombardo, MS highlights 5 Things to Know about the GSI AudioStar Pro 2 channel clinical audiometer.

There are several enhancements with AMTAS Flex V1.4, let’s look at 5 things that will have an impact on testing and efficiency.

Tony Lombardo lists five things to know about GSI's audiometry and tympanometry combo product, the GSI 39.

Automated audiometry has a long history as a screening application in industrial testing, the military, and schools. While these simple automated air conduction screenings may work well for these specific settings, they are rarely, if ever, used in a clinical setting. AMTAS, GSI’s automated audiometry software solution, is designed to be used in clinics and private practices obtain basic diagnostic audiometric testing including masked air conduction, masked bone conduction and speech testing that includes SRT and WRS.

There are two main ways to perform teleaudiology. Synchronous, or live face-to-face, is the most common form of teleaudiology. The second way to perform teleaudiology is asynchronous, or Store-and-Forward.
