Traditional ABR screening of infants uses disposable
electrodes that adhere to the baby's skin for recording the
response. The patented BERAphone® has spring-
mounted, stainless-steel electrodes, a headphone and
preamplifier integrated in one unit (see figures 1 and 2),
which is held to the infant's head after the three electrode
sites on the head have been rendered more conductive by
the application of electrode gel. The only disposable
supplies needed for screening with the BERAphone® are
electrode gel and disinfectant wipes to clean and disinfect
the instrument after each baby is tested.
The BERAphone® hardware is especially suited for infants.
The vertex electrode is located in an adjustable mounting,
allowing the distance to the ground electrode to be varied
to adjust for different head sizes.
