Overview of the AudioAssessor^© Test Management Solution

AudioAssessor^© is a web-based audiometric test-data management system that stores, analyzes and provides comprehensive reporting on hearing test data.  AudioAssessor^© provides a client the ability to submit baseline, annual or retest audiometric tests for audiologist review.  Data may be entered either automatically from microprocessor audiometers to reduce manual system administration or entered manually by keying test data into the program.  Test data is submitted real-time to EI servers and data is then reviewed by our staff of licensed occupational audiologists.  Individual Employee Notification Forms are generated instantaneously, as well as various group review reports, and are available for immediate printing at the time of test.  AudioAssessor^© has the ability to adjust each test appropriately for age correction and these values are exhibited on each notification letter.  Individuals with Standard Threshold Shifts may be highlighted, as well as employees identified for referral or further review.  Audiologist telephone consultation (at no additional charge) is available and encouraged for assistance with questionable results or recommendations.  EI may also process past audiometric tests (if any exist) to establish a complete, accurate employee database.  Backloaded data are used to compare test results from year to year and are imported in electronic format to facilitate continuity of existing data. 

Because AudioAssessor^© is an entirely Internet based system, audiometric test-data is readily accessible anywhere there is an Internet connection.  Online submittal of test-data reduces the cost and time associated with professional review of audiograms.  Additionally, data storage on EI’s state of the art, secure servers helps to eliminate client responsibility for data management.
