MAICO Pilot Hearing Test

The MAICO Pilot Hearing Test is a child-friendly screening system designed to assess hearing ability and speech comprehension in children ages 3 and up. It was developed specifically for use in everyday pediatric practice and supports the early detection of hearing problems. During the speech test, children listen to words and match them to the corresponding pictures on a picture board. This playful method allows for an age-appropriate assessment and evaluates not only the perception of speech signals but also their comprehension and correct matching.

For school-age children, the MAICO Pilot Hearing Test also offers tone audiometry in accordance with pediatric guidelines. This allows for a detailed assessment of hearing ability using various frequencies and defined test levels. The speech test can be conducted in 15 languages and is therefore also suitable for children with diverse linguistic backgrounds. The simple operation, structured test procedures, and color display allow for convenient administration and monitoring of test results during the examination. The included headphones with well-insulated ear cups help create a suitable testing environment.Thanks to its compact design, a weight of just 1.3 kg, and its USB interface, the MAICO Pilot Hearing Test can be easily integrated into everyday practice. The optionally available Sessions PC software expands its range of applications for documenting and managing test results. The system is particularly well-suited for pediatric and adolescent medicine, pediatric ENT diagnostics, and hearing screenings as part of preventive care and follow-up monitoring. With its combination of a child-friendly speech test, multilingual interface, and supplemental pure-tone audiometry, the MAICO Pilot Hearing Test supports structured and patient-friendly hearing diagnostics in children.
