The

 Audiometer  
 Components  of  an  Audiometer  
1.  BASIC:  

Oscillator Amplifier Attenuator Gate Transducer

Generates tones Increases Level Controls Level Turns tone on/off Earphone/Speaker/
Bone Vibrator

Frequency Control Level Control Switch

Channels  
•  Single  channel:    
•  typically  used  for  screening,    
•  minimal  control  bu>ons,    
•  one  s?mulus  at  a  ?me  
•  Two  channel:  
•   typically  used  for  clinical  diagnos?c  purposes,    
•  two  different  independent  signals  can  be  
delivered  at  the  same  ?me
