The Hillrom Welch Allyn 35900 OAE Hearing Screener is a high‑performance, handheld otoacoustic emissions device engineered for fast, objective newborn and pediatric hearing screening. Designed for hospitals, pediatric practices, and universal screening programs, the device delivers clear Pass/Refer results without requiring any behavioral response—ideal for infants, toddlers, and children who cannot reliably participate in traditional hearing tests.
With test times as short as 8–16 seconds per ear, clinicians can efficiently screen large patient volumes while maintaining accuracy and consistency. Integrated noise‑management technology and in‑the‑ear calibration help ensure reliable results even in challenging environments. The intuitive interface requires only three button presses to power on and complete bilateral testing, reducing training time and improving workflow.
The system supports DPOAE and TEOAE testing protocols, stores results internally, and offers seamless data transfer to PCs or thermal printers for documentation. Lightweight, portable, and built for clinical durability, the Hillrom 35900 series remains a trusted standard for early detection of hearing impairment.
