The Kuduwave portable audiometer has been the subject of several published studies and research reports. Browse our selection of featured articles below.
The true cost of booth-less audiometry is incurred by either the hearing healthcare practitioner or the patient/s. A balance needs to be struck between cost-effective implementation of boothless audiometry in...
In 2013, an estimation by the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicated that over 5% of the world’s population suffers from disabling hearing loss. This may seem like a small figure,...
Two consecutive studies sought to determine the (1) audiometric calibration levels (ETSPLs) and, (2) real ear attenuation thresholds (REAT) for the KUDUwave earcup used with an insert earphone using a...
This study evaluated the validity of remote pure-tone audiometric testing using the Kuduwave audiometer. Remote pure-tone audiometry was conducted with a clinical audiologist in North America on participants situated in...
The research was conducted to determine the test-retest reliability of the Kuduwave audiometer at all frequencies from 125Hz up to 16,000 Hz. The data was collected in an open-air environment...
The purpose of this study was to validate diagnostic pure-tone audiometry in schools without a sound-treated booth using the Kuduwave audiometer. The Kuduwave audiometer incorporates insert earphones covered by circumaural...
Historically, diagnostic air and bone conduction audiometry has been conducted in conventional, annually certified audiometric test booths that allow for testing of hearing thresholds down to 0 dB. Advances in...
This study investigated the accuracy, reliability and time-efficiency of automated pure-tone audiometry (air and bone conduction testing) using the Kuduwave audiometer. This was done by comparing thresholds obtained through automated...
This study investigated the accuracy of pure-tone air conduction thresholds obtained by the Kuduwave audiometer in automated testing mode, with a controlled level of background noise (40 dBA), at a...
The study demonstrates the validity of using synchronous telemedicine for conducting hearing assessments with the Kuduwave audiometer in a remote rural agricultural community without a sound booth. The Kuduwave audiometer...
Air- and bone conduction thresholds obtained with the Kuduwave audiometer were compared with those obtained by the industry standard audiometer. Both these audiometers obtained thresholds inside a sound booth.
This study aimed to investigate the validity of the use of the Kuduwave audiometer for diagnostic pure-tone audiometry in a natural environment. The Kuduwave audiometer used in this study uses...
The evaluation of the Kuduwave audiometer against standards and regulations revealed that the Kuduwave complies with all required standards as an audiometer used for hearing conservation purposes as guided by...
This study investigated the validity of the Kuduwave diagnostic audiometer outside of a sound booth, and investigated the attenuation characteristics and live ambient noise-monitoring feature of the KUDUwave audiometer.
This study investigated the reliability and accuracy of unilateral and bilateral simultaneous tympanometric measurements of the Kuduwave Pro-TMP audiometer with integrated tympanometer. This was done by comparing tympanometric measurements yielded...
