Abstract
A hearing screener apparatus is provided. The hearing screener (100) includes a housing (140), a testing probe (110), and an elastic coupler suspending the testing probe (110) from the housing (140). The testing probe (110) preferably includes a microphone housing (165) having a first end and a second end. A cavity extends longitudinally into the first end of the microphone housing (165), and a microphone (180) is mounted to the housing (165) adjacent the cavity (170). An ear tip is fitted onto the first end of the microphone housing for insertion into a patient's ear. The ear tip preferably has a flexible flange arranged at its end to seal within the ear canal of the patient. A further elastic coupler suspends the ear tip assembly from the testing probe. Preferably, the elastic coupler is a number of elastic bands or O rings distributed to concentrically suspend the probe within the housing.
