TWO CHANNEL

CLINICAL

AUDIOMETER

AUDIOSTAR PRO

THE AUDIOMETER PERFECT FOR EVERY

PATIENT POPULATION

GSI AUDIOSTAR PRO

FAST AND EFFICIENT

The GSI AudioStar Pro™ continues the tradition of excellence in clinical audiometry by maintaining the Grason-Stadler legacy of fast, efficient, and familiar navigation. The one button, one function front panel of the AudioStar Pro is recognized worldwide as the gold standard of user-friendly design, allowing audiologists to test with confidence.

GSI SUITE OFFERS

REPORTING AND COUNSELING

Audiometric results are easily transferred from the AudioStar Pro to GSI Suite software where audiometric, tympanometric, and OAE test results may be combined into a single comprehensive report. Counseling overlays such as the speech banana or hearing loss levels assist the clinician with explaining the results to the patient and family members.

BENEFITS

IMPROVE

EFFICIENCY

True 2 channel testing, including simultaneous testing with different transducers in separate channels, along with independent store buttons, masking level indicators, and fast transitions between test types makes the AudioStar Pro more efficient than ever.

FAMILIAR

NAVIGATION

In order to effectively evaluate every patient, familiarity with audiometry equipment is essential for every clinician. With the recognizable control panel, intuitive display, single button, single function front panel navigation, clinicians will feel an immediate connection with the instrument and be able to quickly and accurately test with confidence.

CUSTOMIZE

PREFERENCES

Personalize facility preferences through the configuration application. Test type buttons, digital word lists (.Wav files), power up preferences, and other options ensure the AudioStar Pro will enhance every facility's testing and reporting needs by adding efficiency and consistency.

3 KEY

FEATURES

AUTOMATIC

SPEECH FUNCTION

Features such as speech auto play, auto advance, and auto frequency selection allow the examiner to improve productivity and patient flow. Configure your digital word lists for reliable recorded speech testing. Eliminate the need to manually calculate SII or PTA.

PEDIATRIC

NOISE

Pediatric audiologists can move quickly between warble, pulsed, and pediatric noise to keep young patients on task.

STAND-ALONE

PC ENABLED

Seamlessly transfer data to a computer. In the event of a network failure or computer lock up, patient data is stored and audiometric testing may continue without interruption.

DIRECT

PRINT

Expedite the data entry and test administration by using the external keyboard and mouse to enter patient demographics and session comments. Print a complete report directly to a connected printer or USB flash drive.

FINE

FREQUENCY

High resolution frequency testing allows users to perform inter-octave testing with eleven options, from half octave to single frequency.

CUSTOM

CONFIGURATION

Configurable tests and preferences improve workflow and optimize speed of testing. Select preferences such as start up test, auto Hz advance, and wordlist favorites.

KEY

FULL

FREQUENCY

Select the desired frequency range of 8000 - 20,000 or 125 - 20,000 Hz for high frequency audiometry. Access fine frequency resolution such as 1/3 octave bands when performing ototoxic monitoring or tinnitus evaluations.

AUDIOMETRY

PATIENT FOCUSED

PURE

TONE

The Tone Test Type button prepares the AudioStar Pro for pure tone air and bone conduction testing from 125 - 20,000 Hz. Pure tone test settings such as transducer, frequency range, and automatic frequency advance may be customized using the configuration application.

SPEECH

TESTING

The Speech Test Type button enables customized test settings such as wordlist favorites for each test type and automatic scoring preferences. Over 100 integrated wordlists are included for repeatable and reliable recorded speech testing.

QUICK

SPEECH-IN-NOISE

The QuickSIN and BKB-SIN tests are included in the AudioStar Pro. Automatic scoring and calculation of the signal-to-noise ratio loss make it easy to perform speech-in-noise testing on every patient. The BKB-SIN test includes normative data for children as young as five years old.
