Installation of a large audiometric test Puma booth in Sweden
Below we present an important installation performed by Puma in November 2018 at the Nyköpings Lasarett Central Hospital in the City of Nyköping, in the Sormland region of Sweden.Based on a specific request from the ENT department manager in the renewal phase and with the support of our local distributor, Puma Soundproofing has designed, manufactured and installed one clinical line audiometric test booth PRO45S with customized dimensions of 510X290x250h cm.
The head of the ENT department had specifically requested a large booth in order to optimize the available room at its best and to perform audiological tests: pediatric audiology, speech therapy, ABR measurements, otoacoustic emissions, even on patients on wheelchairs, and cots.
On this purpose, to allow the entrance of hospital cots and wheelchairs in the audiometric booth, Puma has provided the product with a 100 cm clear passage crystal door.
Several colored acoustic panels were applied to optimize the interior acoustics on a technical side and also to improve the room’s environment under the standpoint of patient’s comfort.
Use of audiometric test booth:
The large dimensions of the cabin allow to performdiagnostic measurements and various tests such as:• Pediatric audiometry;
• Speech therapy;
• ABR measurements;
• Tonal audiometry;
• Audiometry in Free Field;
• Acoustic emissions;
• Tympanometry.
Given the breadth and comfort of this cabin it is possible to carry out fitting of hearing aids in a pleasant and perfectly acoustically treated environment, where doctors can check right afterwards the results obtained in the free field tests performed in the same room.
