and RIC( Receiver In the Canal)
which has complete
feedback
and noise free
and automatic fitting hearing aids to cover 130dB profound deaf
patients .

Measurement)
RIC(Receiver In the Canal)
with many other features
for the first time in the world..

1. ABR
The new ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response) will get more accurate wave with peak and give clear analysis for the patients, especially children.
2. ASSR
ASSR shows hearing threshold for 500 Hz, 1 Khz, 2 Khz, 4Khz which are speech frequencies.
3. Cortical Test
The first test in Vietnam with HearLab
The test will be starting from 2010 when HearLab gets approval from FDA |
 |
The tests are following two:
The advantage of this test is to know wether infant/baby understand the speech with hearing aids and what is their cortical threshold. It’s necessary to check whether the hearing aids is weak or too strong or suitable at speech level, 65dB. For ABR test infant should asleep but for this cortical test infant should awake.
4. REM (Real Ear Measurement)
The first special test in Vietnam will help patients get accurate hearing aid fitting. Especially, this test will be necessary for children who can not make oral response to the loudness of sounds whether fitting level is loud or weak.
5. Cochlea test with DPOAE and TEOAE
Advanced DPOAE test explain accurate status of cochlea from 1,000-8,000 Hz |
