For years, audiologists had to choose. Toy? Video? Both?
Now the choice is clear. Literally.
VRA Systems for Pediatric Audiology | Visual Reinforcement Audiometry
Flex VRA makes visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) equipment for pediatric hearing tests: video monitors, toy reinforcers, the transparent-display Flex Halo and combination systems, all run from one wireless remote. More than 1,500 clinics test with Flex VRA today.
What is a VRA system?
A VRA system is the equipment an audiologist uses to reward a baby or toddler for turning toward a sound. When the child hears a tone or speech through the sound field speakers and looks toward it, a reinforcer on that side lights up with a toy, a video or both. That reward teaches the child to keep listening, so the audiologist can find the quietest sounds they hear.
A complete VRA setup usually has reinforcers to the left and right of the child (and often one in the center), sound field speakers, and a way to trigger the reward from the audiometer. Flex VRA builds every part of that setup as pediatric audiometry equipment that works together: reinforcers, audiometric speakers, window covers and audiometer integration. New to the test itself?
