Hi Eric
I completely agree but we are only trying to improve the outcome on a screening test we are not making a diagnosis so normal is normal and stays normal. Any abnormals should be seeing their gp and getting an ent appointment
On that basis I am not convinced the old gold standard chestnut stands up to scrutiny
What do others think?
Kind regards

Ruth,
The problem with an audio hood is that you can't accurately quantify what improvement it provides.
All of the mobile units I have seen, or have supplied equipment for, have been fitted out with a booth.
If the van is tall enough to allow people to stand upright, then it should be tall enough to take a booth.
Regards
Eric

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Mobile Audiometry Testing
Hi All,
As an organisation we are looking into a mobile health screening unit which
would allow us to go around the fire stations and carry out routine medical
surveillance or pre-employment medicals on site.
Our management team are in charge of finding a mobile unit however I am looking
into mobile audio booths.
Most audio booths I have found seem to be quite large. I was wondering if any of
you use a mobile screening unit and if so how you go about audiometry testing.
Are your units large enough to hold the booth or are there smaller booths
available? Also is there a way of testing without a booth?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
