What Is the Amplivox 116?

The Amplivox 116 is a manual screening audiometer with a compact portable design. It is suited for use in primary care facilities, clinics, schools, and occupational settings. While it’s not intended for use by hearing specialists, it offers several convenient features and functions for performing basic hearing tests. For example, a threshold retention function allows results to be quickly stored, reducing test times and helping patients concentrate.

In addition to the main unit, the Amplivox 116 audiometer includes an audiometric headset, patient response switch, audiogram cards, main adapter, carrying case, operating manual, and the ampliSuite application (the manual and application are contained on a USB stick). The software enables test results to be transferred to the Amplivox Audibase database or to a computer via USB. Test results can be printed via PC or an optional thermal printer.

Operational Specifications

The portable audiometer comes with a power supply, but it can be run on batteries as well. It has a frequency range of 125 to 8,000 Hz (with an output level accuracy of within 3 dB) and an attenuation range of -10 to 100 dBHL. Users can choose from pure, pulsed, warble, or continuous tones.

Ergonomically designed, the control panel is easy to read and incorporates a display for viewing settings and results. The threshold retention function records the thresholds for both ears, which can be manually or automatically recorded. While test results can’t be recorded between frequencies, they are displayed and recorded at the end of the test. The instrument’s software enables users to add patient information, analyze data, and compare test results to baselines.

Additional Benefits

The Amplivox 116 screening audiometer is a versatile system that offers the following advantages:

  • Continuous use: Designed for continuous operation, the instrument can be run using the included main adapter (and plugged into a wall outlet) or using four 1.5V “C” batteries. When operating on batteries, the instrument will automatically turn off 90 seconds after use. Low battery indicators are provided on the display.
  • Portability: The audiometer can be transported from one site to another using the included carrying case. A choice of power supply options means it can be operated anywhere. Clinicians can bring it along with them to a testing site and perform tests in virtually any environment.
  • Options: Optional features and accessories include the battery function, Audibase software, and a USB cable for connecting the Amplivox 116 to a PC. An optional Sanibel Infra-Red thermal printer can be provided as well. Other accessories include Amplivox Audiocups for noise reduction and a pediatric headband for school screening.
