AURICAL Plus opens up new horizons for hearing instrument fitting
With more than 10,000 systems in use around the world, the PC-based AURICAL has become the industry standard for objective fitting and verification. Building on the success of the Aurical, AURICAL Plus offers more functionality, connectivity and interaction.
What’s so exciting about AURICAL Plus is that each step in the fitting process – audiometry, real ear, hearing instrument testing, fitting and programming – can be performed on the same computer or network.
One streamlined, integrated process saves you valuable time and provides your patients with significantly better, more efficient service.
Modular solutions fit any requirements – now, and in the future
The AURICAL Plus system is modular - it consists of different modules, which can be combined as desired. The hardware unit is avalilable with or without integral speaker and 2cc test chamber. And with or without the HI-PRO programming interface built in. Separate NOAH 3-compatible software is available for audiometry, real ear measurement and hearing instrument testing.
Just connect your PC via the USB port and install the software. And, don't forget, as PCs become more powerful, so does the AURICAL Plus - you'll never have to worry about equipment becoming obsolete.
Modularity also means that you only need to purchase what you need now – new functionality can always be added later.
Open fittings are a breeze with openREM
With the rapidly increasing popularity of non-occluding, open-fitted hearing instruments comes the need for a probe microphone system capable of performing accurate real ear measures during the fitting process. AURICAL Plus features a REM module that does just that. And your patients get better open ear fittings with significantly less feedback, less occlusion and better high frequency representation.
More new software features
In addition to hardware enhancements like automatic switching of AC transducers and USB connection, AURICAL Plus offers a print layout designer which can include tympanometry test results together with diagnostic audiometry, all on one page. For speech audiometry, you can also make use of hard drive-based digital word lists thus eliminating noise and delays from CD-ROM drives. And to ensure you can always remember how to navigate the software, we have provided detailed online documentation.
Sharing more data
Besides storing data in NOAH 3, AURICAL Plus can export audiometric data in XML format allowing you to perform statistical analyses of your clinical results. You can also output electronic reports in PDF format. This data handling flexibility doesn’t just facilitate interface with a variety of electronic patient journal systems, it also lets you share clinical reports with colleagues, referring physicians, health authorities and HMOs.
Certified for use with both NOAH 2 and 3, AURICAL Plus can be used on any IBM compatible PC – and together with Windows™ 98 SE, Me, 2000 and XP.
Integration with other technologies
AURICAL Plus is truly open. It can be updated. It can be expanded. It can be integrated with other audiologic instrumentation including our NOAH-compatible OAE, immittance and video otoscopy equipment.
Now all patient test data can be integrated into one electronic patient file.
The OTOsuite™ Universe
AURICAL Plus connects to the OTOsuite software universe through a data link. It allows you to open audiometry data in OTOsuite for viewing and professional reporting. Measurement data from multiple instruments are easily combined in a single report - customized with your name and logo.
OTOsuite is GN Otometrics’ software universe in which your individual diagnostic and fitting tools are integrated. Benefits include a more efficient workflow; less time spent on training and combined reporting.
