At my last audiometry update last year with SJK Scientifics it was advised that it was essential to measure the ambient noise level if you were unable to use a booth. Otherwise the audio result could be open to legal challenge.
Using the audicups on your headset in a quiet room will reduce the ambient noise levels.
If you would like me to scan the document over to you let me know
Kind Regards
Sarah

Surely all one needs is a quiet place?
I used to work in a place in which the audio booth was placed in a room that was subject to noises from outside at any time ie. vehicles going by.

Linda,
I understand your viewpoint.
In a one off test situation you certainly won't miss someone who has poor hearing, if the conditions under which you test are below standard and any improvement in testing conditions are better than none.
However, if you want to track changes in hearing capability and spot those who are suffering an accelerated loss, would you not agree that you really need to test under controlled conditions?

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! ********************************Please remove this footer before replying.
