GSI AudioStar Pro Instructions for Use
Test Instructions
When the starting level has been determined, instruct the patient in the same manner as
when measuring pure tone thresholds with masking.
Test Procedure
Using the blue navigation buttons, access the TEN test type to prepare the AudioStar Pro
for TEN testing. The procedure for determining thresholds in the TEN is identical to the
manual pure tone audiometry except that a 2 dB final step size should be used for
maximum accuracy. The TEN will take approximately 4 minutes per ear (to complete all test
frequencies).
Interpretation
The accepted rule is that a dead region is present when the TEN-masked threshold is at
least 10 dB above the audiometric threshold and the TEN Threshold is 10 dB above the TEN
noise.

Pressing the Speech Test type button prepares the AudioStar Pro for Speech testing. The
internal .Wav files can be presented by either using the present button or by a single click
of a wireless mouse. The correct/incorrect/clear buttons can be used to score. It is also
possible to automatically play wordlists by pressing the interrupt button. These
preferences are determined in the Config App. It is critical that the test type be carefully
selected as the reporting/storing is dependent upon test type. If you wish to do a PIPB
rollover, you can select the speech audiogram page.
