One of the standout features of the MB11 BERAphone® is its use of the patented CE-Chirp® stimulus. Unlike standard clicks, the CE-Chirp® stimulates all regions of the cochlea simultaneously, generating higher responses and faster results. This leads to highly accurate outcomes, even in typical nursery conditions.

The device is incredibly user-friendly. To perform the test, simply apply electrode gel to the three electrode sites on the baby’s head, place a drop of gel on the integrated electrodes, and position the BERAphone® around the baby’s ear. The automatic impedance check ensures precise and clear signal conditions by verifying the conduction between the skin and the electrodes.

The MB11 BERAphone® is not only efficient but also eco-friendly and cost-effective. The reusable stainless steel electrodes eliminate the need for disposable electrodes, reducing waste and lowering costs. This makes the device a sustainable choice for healthcare providers.

The updated PC software enhances the screening process, guiding users through each step with on-screen instructions. The software displays the EEG signal and noise level throughout the test, alerting users if an electrode loses contact with the skin. After the quick screening, the results are immediately displayed as “pass” or “refer,” which can be saved as a PDF or printed for documentation. The software also offers flexible data exporting options for tracking and reporting purposes.

In addition to its technical capabilities, the MB11 BERAphone® provides valuable diagnostic information. Unlike OAE measurements, ABR tests can detect hearing defects located behind the inner ear, such as auditory neuropathy (AN). This comprehensive approach ensures that potential issues are identified early, allowing for timely intervention.
