Switching systems can be an intimidating experience. Whether you’re going from a manual audiometer to a computer-based one, starting live speech mapping, or using a HIT box for the first time, getting started with PC-based equipment is a big step.
In the long run however, computerized audiometry makes testing and fitting easier and more efficient. With familiar interfaces and integrations, PC-based audiometry is the easiest way to modernize your practice.
Interested in switching over to computerized equipment? Discover all the ways you can update your practice’s tools and software below.
Video Otoscope
The fastest and most affordable change you can make for your practice is swapping out your handheld otoscope for a video otoscope.
MedRx’s video otoscope is USB-powered and easy to use, so getting started is a breeze, even for longtime handheld otoscope users. There is also no setup required, you can easily plug the device into your PC to launch the software.
The otoscope's design is lightweight and maneuverable, perfect for getting precise pictures and videos of your patient’s ear. And once finished with your exam, simply save in Noah or Blueprint to refer to at a later date.
Digital otoscopy presents a plethora of new opportunities for your business, check out our first blog post on the Benefits of a Video Otoscope to learn about the various advantages digital otoscopes have over traditional handheld otoscopes.

Audiometers & REM/LSM
Manual audiometers are traditionally larger and more cumbersome than PC-based audiometers. Switching over to a computerized system will save desk space and free you of the knobs, dials, and buttons on your manual audiometer.
MedRx’s systems range in size from 5” x 5” x 1.25” to 8” x 5” x 1.25” so they will never take up unnecessary desk space or clutter your office.
AVANT A2D+ DIAGNOSTIC AUDIOMETER
MedRx audiometers and REM systems don’t have a single button on them. All testing and fitting occurs on your computer using your keyboard and mouse. The audiometer hardware includes several jacks that connect accessories and your computer; however, no testing is done on the actual hardware. This makes storing and positioning your system much easier.
Our REM/LSM system can even be combined with our diagnostic audiometer, giving you the best of two complete systems in what we call the AVANT ARC (Audiometer REM Combo). With this 2-in-1 device you can save space and the hassle of setting up or storing multiple pieces of equipment.

Hearing Instrument Test Boxes
Many hearing care professionals are still not using a HIT Box to verify the technical specifications on their patient’s hearing aids. With technology getting more and more complex, it’s essential that we verify that patients are getting the output from their hearing aids they’re supposed to.
Without a HIT box, your programming is null. You can enter in the right measurements and make the necessary adjustments, but if the hearing aid’s technology is malfunctioning, you have wasted time, money, and effort.
Though the HIT box itself looks complicated to set up, it is one of the easier tests you can get started with when opting for computerized equipment. As mentioned previously, the tests you run actually all occur on the equipment’s software.
This means that with the lid closed and a hearing aid inside, you can simply run the software’s automated tests and find out if the hearing aid is meeting technical specs.
