Thank you for purchasing AURICAL SpeechLink 100.
SpeechLink 100 is a desktop or wall-mounted advanced 4-channel
frequency analyzer that wirelessly transfers measurement data to a
PC via Bluetooth. The four channels are used for measuring the
sound pressure level close to a client’s eardrum as well as outside
the ear by the pinna for both ears simultaneously. In this way,
SpeechLink 100 enables you to perform true binaural measurements
providing you with valuable information when you adjust Hearing
Instrument settings in the suppliers’ fitting software.
SpeechLink 100 cannot be used without the OTOsuite Visible Speech
Module PC application. When you have set up SpeechLink 100 for
testing, install the relevant software on your PC. When the PC appli-
cation has been installed, run the Configuration Wizard and you will
be able to connect to SpeechLink 100. For specific instructions on
how to use SpeechLink 100 with the OTOsuite Visible Speech Mod-
ule, please see the OTOsuite Visible Speech Module Online Help.
SpeechLink 100 integrates closely with the latest generation of GN
Otometrics test devices by offering real time presentation of test re-
sults and full test control directly from a PC with comprehensive
user interface.
