Quik-Probe II

We know how important it is to today's dispensers to be able to fit hearing aids quickly, efficiently and accurately. The composite real time signal permits an instant picture of the ear canal. Even digital hearing aids that automatically change their frequency response in the presence of noise (defined by the hearing aids as a continuous signal) can be quickly tested with the new Digital Speech-in-Noise signal. Just choose the desired signal (ICRA or ANSI) from the menu and see how the aid really operates in the client's ear. Experienced dispensers know that there is no substitute for real ear measurements and with the Quik-Probe Option you don't waste time.

Along with the real-time signal, users also greatly value the convenience of the unique Remote Control Module. It lets you operate from a device held in your hand, placed conveniently on a nearby shelf, or, with optional accessories, you can locate the real-ear test station in a separate room, as far as fifty feet from the instrumentation module.

Another popular feature of the FONIX Quik-Probe II is the Target 2cc software which provides full-on gain and SSPL 90 prescriptions from your client's audiometric and real-ear data. Or, if you prefer, you may obtain the prescription using the pre-stored, average-ear (KEMAR) data. Either way, you will find that your fittings are improved and the number of remakes and returns are significantly reduced.

Flexibility Provided

Not everyone uses real-ear measurements the same way, so we have made Quik-Probe II as flexible as possible. You can choose automatic or manual modes, composite or pure tone signals, or the spectrum analysis mode. You can select measurements of gain or SPL. You can enable or disable the reference microphone. Four levels of noise reduction are available. You can even choose between two types of automatic smoothing to eliminate trivial peaks and valleys from the display. And with six professionally accepted fitting formulas stored in the program's memory, target insertion and 2cc coupler response curves are presented automatically.

Our Probe Microphone Measurements: Comfortable, Valid, and Repeatable

We pay careful attention to details in the design of the probe microphone and the choice of tubing to make sure you get accurate, reliable measurements every time you test.

The flexibility and small diameter of our probes make them safe to use and comfortable for the client.

The small outer diameter of the probe tube (less than one millimeter) lets the probe fit easily between the ear canal and the earmold without the deformations and "slit" leaks that often cause measurement errors with tubes of larger diameter.

Our special tubing material shields against sound leaking through the tube walls; so you measure where you want to measure-at the probe tip.

Our probe tubes are reinforced where they join the microphone body, eliminating problems of wear and tear.

Our microphones can be calibrated and checked for accuracy with a sound pressure level calibrator.

Our M200 probe microphone has a flat frequency response and a low noise level. There are no peaks and valleys that require computer corrections. And with selectable signal averaging, unaided and aided responses can be measured with input levels as low as 50 (composite) and 60 (pure tone) dB SPL while maintaining complete calibration.
