1. What frequencies can I screen on hearscreen®?

  • The default protocol has been set to screen 1kHz, 2kHz and 4kHz in both ears as prescribed by the
    best practice standards. The user has the option to set his/her own protocol, with the following
    frequencies available for screening: 0.5, 0.75, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 KHz
  • There are two types of default protocols: “Default” which screens 1,2 and 4kHz in both ears and then
    the “Default Severity” which runs the “Default” screening in addition to seeking a threshold estimation
    around the frequencies failed to determine the degree of potential hearing loss. The user has the
    ability to create custom protocols. The protocols can be named as preferred.

2. What is the "Smart Noise Monitoring" feature and how does it work?

  • hearScreen® has a ‘smart noise monitoring’ function that makes use of the microphone of the smart
    device to detect environmental noise and provide a warning to the screener when the noise levels
    have exceeded safe levels that allow for reliable screening. The smart noise monitoring is displayed
    on a bar at the top of the screen, which, similar to a traffic light displays green when the noise is
    acceptable for reliable screening, orange as warning and red when the noise levels are not safe for
    reliable screening.

3. How is the quality of hearscreen® facilitator evaluated?

  • In hearScreen® during a screener-administered screening, one tone is falsely presented in order to
    determine whether the screener is responding reliably to the patient’s responses or if they are trying
    to influence the screening results by skipping through the steps. If the screener responds incorrectly
    to this falsely presented tone, they would be marked with a negative quality index (QI) score. The
    score is averaged over a month period. Hence if no improvement in a score is seen, the screener can
    undergo retraining until the QI score improves. Ideally, the score range should be =80%.

4. What is the difference between "verifing" and "linking" the headphones?

  • The headphones are required to be “linked” the first time that the headphones are used with the app.
    When “linking” the headphones an internet connection is required to download the calibration codes
    that link the specific headphone to the account and then to the specific phone or tablet being used
    with those headphones. A headphone “link” is required each time a user logs out and then back into
    the app. Verification of the headphones is required once the headphone has already been linked and
    is meant to confirm that the user is still using the same headphone that was initially linked to the
    phone. An internet connection is not required during the verification process. The frequency of this
    headphone verification action can be set in the app settings.

5. Can I install hearScreen® on my own smart device?

  • While we use commercially available, off-the-shelf hardware as the base of our solution, the smart
    device used for hearScreen® is standardized in order to comply with certain pre-set, industry-specific
    standards, to allow the output of the device, that generates the pure tones for screening, to be
    calibrated. This is required to ensure the decibel level truly is what it says it should be. For a personal
    smart device, hearX® cannot guarantee a reliable or definite sound level, as it has not been
    standardized and calibrated. The headphones used also need to be calibrated according to industry
    standards.

6. Can I use hearScreen® without the mHealth Studio App? 

  • hearScreen®, hearTest, hearTest Occ Health, Vula Vision, and the hearX® Self Test Kit need to be used
    within the mHealth Studio App, while hearScope can be used within the mHealth Studio App or as
    stand-alone applications.
