The MB 11 BERAphone® stands for innovation in Newborn Hearing Screening — the unique, patented Auditory Brainstem Response system offers a fast automated ABR hearing test for newborns without the use of adhesive disposables. To grant babies the comfort of disposable-free ABR screening, our BERAphone® comes with integrated electrodes and a speaker with ear cushion in a single unit. If the BERAphone® detects and verifies a response at 35 dB nHL, the test result is PASS.

ABR System with Patented CE-Chirp® for Fast Results
Our MB 11 BERAphone® is equipped with a unique CE-Chirp® which stimulates all regions of the cochlea at the same time to generate much higher responses and faster results than a standard click. This leads to highly accurate results for Auditory Brainstem Response Tests under normal nursing conditions.
Easy for You, Comfortable for the Baby
The MB 11 BERAphone® makes ABR hearing tests for newborns easier for both sides:
- When the newborn is asleep or calm, apply the electrode gel at the three electrode sites on the baby’s head.
- Place a drop of electrode gel on the integrated electrodes.
- Position the MB 11 BERAphone®, surrounding the baby’s ear with the earphone and resting the electrodes on the prepared sites.
- No adhesive disposables are needed. You will save costs and the babies will not experience any pulling or pain while being tested.
Baby-friendly and cost-efficient, that is the key for effective ABR testing.
User-Friendly PC Software
Keeping track of your test and patient data of ABR tests is easy with the MB 11 BERAphone®. Transfer your data to a PC via USB connection and make use of the intuitive PC software that comes with the MB 11 BERAphone®.
