Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA)

Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) is a fun and engaging hearing test in young children. We offer three different VRA solutions: VRA201, VRA Screen and VRA Pure.

VRA Screen

VRA Screen is a digital VRA device. As with VRA201, you present the sound with the audiometer. But instead of animating a toy, you present the visual reward via 1-3 screens, depending on your setup.
“What I love most about VRA Screen is how fast and responsive it is. There is no delay to either the onset or offset of the visual reward, which is so vital for keeping the child conditioned and motivated. Combined with the ability to create your own playlists and add your own still or moving images, this places the clinician in total control of what can be fast-paced and high-pressure testing conditions.”

What do you get?

VRA Screen consists of a dedicated PC for VRA, default playlists, a mouse, and a USB stick with the VRA Playlist Creator software. Once you have arranged for 1-3 screens in your free field setup, you are ready to go.

The clinician is in charge

With a simple mouse click, you can instantly switch the visual reward on and off. In a multi-screen setup, you can also quickly switch screens with left-right mouse clicks.

Playlist Creator

In the VRA Playlist Creator software, you can create your own playlists. This means that you can tailor the visual rewards to the specific patient. Let’s say you know a patient coming in tomorrow has a thing for cars, then what better way to keep their attention than by showing them images or videos with cars?
