Service Engineer, Ian Whittle spent the day re-calibrating eight audiometers in preparation for repeat hearing tests that are about to be undertaken by participants in the ASPREE-Hearing sub-study.
More than 1200 participants had a hearing test upon enrolment into the ASPREE-Hearing sub-study. Many are due for a repeat 18 month hearing test.
In regional and rural areas of south-eastern Australia, audiometry for the study is often undertaken in specially fitted vehicles called a RetCam Van.
The first of many 18 month hearing tests commenced in Wonthaggi, South Gippsland.
