Audiology is certainly on the move. More and more audiologists seem to be incorporating mobile services within their clinical practice. Owners wanting to differentiate their audiology practice are adding mobile services to bring hearing care directly to the patients’ homes. Providers are adding mobile audiology to expand services beyond the traditional clinic to tap into underserved markets. Audiologists who want autonomy and flexibility are more often thinking about starting their own mobile audiology business.
Whether a full-service or hybrid model, your mobile services will require portable equipment. Oaktree Products offers a wide range of screening and diagnostic equipment from brands that include Amplivox, Inventis, Path Medical, Auditdata, Resonance, hearX, and Welch Allyn.
From a portable perspective, here are a few highlights of Oaktree’s equipment offering:
1 Smartphone and 3 Tablet-based audiometers available through HearX

Path Medical Sentiero Handheld DPOAE screener (upgradable to include air conduction screening, DPOAE diagnostic) and Sentiero Desktop tympanometer (upgradable to include DPOAE screen, DPOAE diagnostic, AC, other middle ear tests, etc).
