Freedom Test™
Occupational Audiometric Testing System
Freedom from troublesome cabling - instant user installation.
Freedom from fixed locations - very portable & expandable.
Freedom from hard-to-use software – user friendly screens.
Freedom from high prices – very affordable.
Now you can easily do it your way with the only wireless occupational hearing testing system
which can test from 1 to 6 listeners simultaneously. It is at home in a factory clinic, an
occupational health center, in a mobile testing rig, or a quiet room. Since there are no wires you
can even move it between locations simply by picking it up! Use a notebook/netbook/tablet
computer and you can test for many hours even without AC power. You can’t get any more
“freedom” than that.
The basic operation of the control software is easy to learn and there are many powerful
functions built in. Even without linking to a compatible OSHA recordkeeping system, you can
preload listener demographics and baselines so that you will spot threshold shifts during the test
and then print the Notifications to hand to the employee immediately at the end of the test.
The Freedom system is the latest in a long line of occupational audiometers. Dr. Tony Miltich,
the developer, is an occupational audiologist and computer engineer who fielded the first
computer controlled multi-station audiometer in 1977. He uses these products “in the trenches”
himself and listens to the suggestions that users give him. The real value of computer control,
compared to a self-contained unit, is that updates and new features are as easy as an email.
