The DVD's video recordings include typical listening environments such as church distance listening, outdoor traffic, small groups, restaurants, listening in an automobile, and television viewing, with both male and female voices. The DVD comes with instructions for using it with a DVD player and sound field speakers (not included) to create an auditory evaluation system.

   The Wireless Patient Response System is a wireless handheld switch and receiver box designed for use with an auditory evaluation system by individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The receiver box is plugged into the audiometer (where the corded response switch would be plugged in).

A red LED on the handheld unit provides immediate feedback to the user that the response was made.

This user- installable system also features a hand-held RF remote control to activate the system from up to 50 feet away, inside or outside the test booth. The wireless remote control gives the operator control over seven functions including lights, motor activation, patterns, and the LED display.
