Tips to Get Best Acoustic Performance and Usage of Audiometric Testing Rooms

Posted by Alex Smith on September 9th, 2019

How important is acoustic treatment in an audiometric room? Very important, given the sensitive nature of work that goes on in this facility. But design, build and ease of installation are also important to derive the best outcomes. Here are some factors to keep in mind before investing in an audiometric facility or audiology booth.

Key Role of Acoustics

Audiometric rooms are used to conduct different types of hearing tests including paediatric hearing tests, adult hearing tests, occupational health tests and tests for hearing research. Acoustic treatment plays a key role in preventing unwanted noise from entering the testing facility and compromising the integrity of test procedures to be undertaken. Low noise levels can only be achieved with specialist design and construction of audiology rooms. Various facilities including hearing clinics, hospitals, labs, hearing aid manufacturer facilities, research institutes, and teaching institutes have used for acoustically treated audiology rooms.

Acoustic Treatment Solutions

An audiometric room is a place where clinical assessments of hearing are conducted under strict and controlled conditions. In any ordinary room, the floor, doors, windows, and ventilation system are all potential sources of noise. These elements need to be given due importance while designing and constructing an audiometric room. Audiometric test room developers offer a variety of solutions such as fan-assisted silenced ventilation systems, fabric wrapped acoustic panels and perforated steel acoustic panels to create the ideal sound environment for specific needs. Moreover, they provide specialist solutions such as VROA booths, anechoic chambers, EF and RF shielded chambers to match your needs.

Audiology Booths in Various Sizes

Mobile audiology booths are flexible and cost-effective solutions to consider for modern-day audiology facilities. Micro audiometric booths and mini audiometric booths can be wheeled on castors and are designed to fit through standard doorways. They can be equipped with various electronic options including USB ports and stereo plugs. Micro audiometric booths are the ultimate space-saving solution but if you wish to have a bench for seating, a mini audiometric booth is a right choice. Larger options to consider include midi booths and adult audiometric booths.

Turnkey Design and Construction Solutions

Reputed manufacturers provide turnkey solutions wherein the size, shape, and aesthetics are completely customizable. This service is worth considering if you have a specific design, ergonomic or functional needs. As for installation, audiometric booths come flat packed when you choose a manufacturer offering nationwide or international delivery service.  Installation instructions are provided and you may consider self-assembly or call the manufacturer’s installation team for professional set-up. Modular audiometric booths are worth considering for customers who are operating out of leased premises.
