Pausing the Test
You can interrupt the test at any time by pressing the blue Pause key (located on the
kite). The green Pause LED will light up and "Test Paused" is shown on the display.
To restart the test, press the Pause key again. The green Pause LED turns off and
the test will continue.
NOTE: If the test is paused during the presentation of a sentence, repeat the sentence.
You can skip or repeat test sentences by pressing the Forward arrow ►► or the
Backward arrow keys. This only functions while the test is running.
Ending the Test Early
If the child does not understand two successive test sentences, press the Start/Stop
key to end the test. The next training group will automatically be entered. Repeat
the test with this next group.
Completion of Test
The test is complete when all 10 words have been presented and recorded for both ears.
A passing result is when a minimum of 2 out of the 3 words at 15 dB have been identified
correctly. If the child does not pass, repeat the screening or refer the child for further
audiometric examination.
The child has passed when both ears have been tested and pass criteria met.
Protocol recommendation
The above is an example screening protocol. Users are therefore recommended to
refer to State or Country guidelines.
5.2.5 Scoring results
There are two options for scoring responses:
• Audiogram Pad: Mark the corresponding column/field on the audiogram pad
with a checkmark ✓ for the ear tested. That means the answer was correct. If
the answer was wrong, mark the field with a cross .
• Save to device: Score the response for immediate printing to the thermal
printer upon test completion. Record the test results by pressing the Enter
key when the child signals his/her understanding and points to the
corresponding picture on the picture board. The level is saved under results
beside the respective ear. The result is then shown on the display. While the
level decreases, the displayed test results will remain the same unless the
response is confirmed by pressing the Enter key again. The test results
change according to this confirmation. The level at which the patient correctly
understood the sentence is shown beside the respective ear on the display.
NOTE: Save to device requires the optional thermal printer.
