OAE Testing of All Ages – Sanibel Offers the Right Eartip for Every Ear

Why is the usage of the right eartip essential for accurate OAE test results? It´s because the probe must be placed securely into the ear canal. Otherwise, the sensitive microphones cannot measure the soft sounds that´re returning from the inner ear. Using the suitable eartip secures that the probe will remain in the ear canal without holding what would cause undesirable noises. Sanibel offers the right ADI eartip for every age and every ear. The advantages: less effort for the user – more precise test results for the patient.

By using the innovative tri-lumen Sanibel™ eartips, probe tips are no longer needed. Just push the eartip on the probe body. Because of the symmetrical design, the eartip will easily find its way onto the three probe channels.

By discarding the eartip that came into contact with the patient, cross infection is avoided and cleaning effort is reduced remarkably.

Tips & Tricks:

The right and safe usage of hearing screening disposables and consumables is truly no rocket science. But: You should keep in mind a few and important tips and tricks our experienced audiologists would like to share with you:

Choose the Right Eartips
For optimal conduction and results of hearing tests the choice of the correct eartips is necessary. Sanibel offers the right eartip for every age and every ear. Using the suitable eartip guarantees that the probe will remain in the ear canal without holding. Important: Check the size of the ear canal carefully before choosing the eartip.

Pull the Ear Diagonally Upwards
The human ear canal is slightly curved. To straighten that it helps to pull the ear diagonally upwards while placing the probe. It applies: If you can´t insert the probe deep enough – the chosen eartip is too big for the patient´s ear. If it falls out again – it´s too small. The probe should rest in the ear without holding.

Eartips are Made for Single Use Only
As all experienced audiologists will tell you: New eartips for each patient are a must have. There are many good reasons not to save expenses here by using an eartip several times. Let’s take a closer look why..

6 Good Reasons to Use Eartips for Hearing Tests Only Once

Protect Patients Against Contamination

Reduce the risk of cross contamination between your hearing test patients: Just cleaning the used ear tips is not safe enough.
Avoid Loss of Sealing

Minimize the risk of non-sealing ear tips: Eartips degrade over time, which can make it more difficult to attain a good seal. This might lead to less accurate test results.
Preclude Allergic Reactions

Allergic reactions caused by cleaning residue are rare but possible. Protect your patients from that – use eartips just once.

Show Appreciation

Your hearing test patients will appreciate having a new eartip used only for them. This is building important trust between the patient and you.
Save Time

Save time between hearing tests: Cleaning eartips takes time, so why not give your staff the time to do what really matters?
Secure Reliable Results

Conduct hearing tests reliable and faster: Fresh eartips are more reliable and makes your hearing screening faster and easier.

Disinfection

It´s important that all parts that come in direct contact with the patient be subjected to standard cleaning and disinfecting procedures between patients. This includes, among others, devices and accessories like insert phones and probe tips, ear cushions or reusable electrodes. Here are some useful tips for disinfection:

Before cleaning always switch off and disconnect the device from power supply.
Disinfect the device housing and its accessories by wiping the surfaces with wet disinfection wipes.
Wipe before and after each patient
Disinfect all components that made contact with the patient or the patient’s clothing by wiping them with a fresh hospital-grade disinfectant wipe.

For disinfection we highly recommend the Sanibel disinfecting wipes. Why? Because audiologists and doctors worldwide rely on this bestseller. One of the great advantages: The Sanibel disinfection wipes are not affecting the device surface.
