The AS608/AS608e screening audiometer is designed to be a device
for screening for hearing loss. Output and specificity of this type of
device are based on the test characteristics defined by the user, and
may vary depending on environmental and operating conditions. The
screening for hearing loss using this kind of audiometer depends on
the interaction with the patient. "Normal hearing" result should not
allow for ignoring other contra indications. A full audiologic evaluation
should be administered if concerns about hearing sensitivity persist
The AS608/AS608e audiometer is intended to be used by an
audiologist, hearing healthcare professionals, or trained
technicians in a quiet environment. It is recommended that the
instrument be operated within an ambient temperature range of 15-
35 degree Celsius (59-95 degrees Fahrenheit)
The AS608e extends the AS608 functionalities with the following
three extra features:

PC Integration through the Diagnostic Suite software. This
enables audiograms to be transferred and displayed in the
Windows software and stored in the OtoAccess
databases. The Diagnostic Suite also includes advanced
reporting and printing features (similar to the AC440 software
module.) Please refer to the Diagnostic Suite user manual
for instructions about how to use the PC software suite.

In addition to traditional manual testing, the AS608e
incorporates a Hughson Westlake patient controlled
automatic threshold test complying with ISO 8253. When the
test is completed the results are easily recalled from the
internal memory of the AS608.

Talk Forward function that makes the AS608e easy to work
with particularly in sound booth installations.
