Screening Audiometer

Q: Can the GSI 18 be operated with batteries?

Yes, testing is not limited by the power source. You can get up to 10 full hours of testing with AA batteries. This is ideal when out in the field conducting testing at health fairs and home visits.

GSI 18

SCREENING AUDIOMETER

Flexible and efficient, the GSI 18™ is a portable audiometer that travels with you. The audiometer provides three stimulus modifications and two transducer options to accommodate all screening environments. It's a great choice for clinicians who conduct screenings in multiple environments.

In a school screening environment, it’s easier for the operator to test hearing on a distracted child with a more interesting signal. In an industrial screening environment, the operator can present a signal that allows the patient to distinguish the signal from “ringing” in the ear. Featuring an easy-to-use interface and flexibility to switch between headphones and insert phones, the GSI 18 is a simple yet intuitive screening audiometer for use in a variety of environments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Can the GSI 18 be operated with batteries?
A. Yes, testing is not limited by the power source. While the device can operate on AC power, you can get up to 10 full hours of testing using five AA batteries. This is ideal when out in the field, conducting testing at health fairs, and during home visits.

Q. When is it best to use the patient response button?
A. This is an optimal way to test with all patient types as it reduces the visual cues from the tester, allowing them to focus on the result.

Q. Do all the accessories and device fit in a compact case?
A. Yes, the GSI 18 is easy to take from site to site when conducting screening visits. This audiometer for hearing screening has all the materials needed for testing and is easily transported in a convenient instrument case.

Q. What options do you have for a noisier environment?
A. The GSI 18 provides the flexibility to switch between headphones and insert phones based on the environment that presents itself. School and industrial screening environments can be noisy, so using the insert phones can help control the noise and achieve more accurate results.

Q. What frequency and intensity range is available for air conduction testing?
A. Unlike other screeners with frequency and intensity limitations, the operator can achieve thresholds from 125 - 8000 Hz and 0 - 100 dB with the GSI 18. This allows the operator to conduct hearing screenings on all levels of hearing loss.

MULTIPLE ROUTES TO RESULTS

The GSI 18 is a logical choice for every screening environment. Full frequency and intensity range allows for simple screening or more advanced air conduction threshold evaluations. The patient response button, stimulus modifications, and choice of two transducers make it ideal for screening varied patient populations.
PORTABILITY PROVIDES OPTIONS

Take advantage of the features on the GSI 18 on the go. Weighing in at 2.5 pounds, this audiometer is perfect for traveling from site to site. Do not limit your testing by having access to a power source. Choose from AC or battery operation. By installing five AA batteries, you can conduct 10 hours of testing.
SWITCH FREELY

Easily switch between supra-aural and insert headphones as the environment dictates. The GSI 18 audiometer holds calibration for two air conduction transducers. Comply with infection control policies with disposable insert eartips.

FULL FREQUENCY AND DECIBEL RANGE

Easily achieve comprehensive air conduction results with a full frequency range (125 Hz to 8000 Hz) and a generous decibel range (from 0 dB to 100 dB).

KEY AUDIOMETER FEATURES
